I'm a flatbedder!

I bought a pair of these a few years ago seem to be alright, Drings at the top of mine could tarp an empty trailer if I wanted to not that there is any reason to, might work for you.

very nice price. thanks for the link.

 

I just gotta ask, if you can get up on a 4-1/2' trailer why can't you get on top of a 4' load?

 

the deck is 5 ft 6 inches off the ground.

who says you can't get on top of a 4 ft load???

but if the load leaves no room for climbing and takes up every square inch of your deck. how do you propose to climb that 9 ft 6 inch height off the ground.

fortuantely for me i pack a 10 ft ladder. but for everyone else.

and i've only seen on shipper that actually has a ladder for the drivers. i've seen 2 shippers that will lift you with the forklift.

your screwed with everyone else.

 

I don't have a ladder yet, I wish I woulda bought one cuz it'd come in handy with the last three loads I had. I kicked myself when I delivered to a lowes and tried remembering to go in and buy a ladder but forgot.

Make sure you buy one tall enough. The ladder should extend above any load you might use it on. I got lucky a couple years ago and caught a 17 foot, folding extension ladder on sale for about $100 at Home Depot.

 

i got my 10 foot from walmart. around 40 i think it was.

i'd actually like to get a extend a ladder instead of the spread out legs i've got.

you can't be very heavy though. cuz i got the highest rating that was available at 240 lbs. which knda sucks.

hopefully i start LOSING weight instead of GAINING as i get older from here on out.

LOL

 

I need one with a heavy rating. At least 300lbs. I don't weigh that much but I know I'm over 240

Highest rating I've seen for consumer/commercial is 1A, that handles 300 lbs. I need to lose to get on that one.
