Getting into heavy / oversized

Sloped at the back with its own fold over ramps!

 

Dovetail. Some call it a beaver, LoL..

This is the exact style trailer I waffled over for months. Sometimes I wish I had it, sometimes I don't.

The straight tail is better for loading when there is a dock, or some type of freight that requires all the deck space on the lower. Plus I used to drag the dovetail going in/out of driveways, or just getting to a jobsite in real hilly areas of the northeast. Slightly more versatile IMHO..

If you are doing lots of wheeled/tracked machines, that dovetail is hard to beat. Way faster than setting up the 460lb 6 piece ramp kit, & will save your back. If I got another, I'd have it built with either 4 flip over ramps, or the center flip over wide enough to make full deck width when closed. That way tricycle equipment is easy to load, & loading from the rear by way of forklift, or dock is possible..

I especially like these Doonan's, as the one I pictured still has Can locks built into the outer flip ramps. Pretty neat..

They are great (I have 2) but I don’t think I’d want them for general freight. They are very expensive and heavy, compared to a standard step.
