    They are, alot of the guys I knew who were running them were doing aviation stuff, so nothing heavy, just big. I looked really hard at thier trailers, then wound up getting an all aluminum ravens, and it was a great trailer. Never had an issue with it.

    Interesting. but it is a lot easier to replace a fatigured rivet than a fatigued weld.

    I really wish I had my old ravens, but it got wrecked thanks to some company Alpha Sierra Sierra clown who pulled his trailer over the top of it. tweaked it pretty good.
