Trailer Recommendations

[Q.S Gav]

Anyone serious will pick the phone up and give them a call.

Plus what’s the point putting prices on Facebook when prices have been constantly on the rise for the last 2 years. Then you’d have people looking back at old Facebook posts and seeing outdated, cheaper prices.

8ft x 6ft just a tad overloaded to give people the idea of size they should go for .Ifor Williams this one and that’s 2.5 ton of stone in it

 

[Q.S Gav]

@zafturbo if you are going to do it, may as well go all in with 3.6

As sad as it is I love seeing pictures of trailers

Bought this wee Dale Kane 10 years ago and it has been superb. No rattles at all and it’s done many jobs. Very well made. As it’s occasional use mainly for going to the tip I went single axle with the high sides and no brakes to worry about, surprising what you can get in to it.

Can also vouch for Porter Trailers; very well designed and made and Neville is a very decent man.

2.5t in stone alone ? or combined with trailer ?

Van at most legally allowed 1.5t total.

Also looks massively overloaded lol.

My 7x5ish Porter has been fantastic. Although never did get high sides for it, which is definitely something I'd want if I got another. As well as a full gate/ramp

It's never really carried anything particularly heavy though, usually just grass runs/dump etc.

For a single axle trailer that’s a cracker!

Got this Broniss single axle second hand from an old boy through Facebook Marketplace just outside Banbridge last year. Sides and back drop off it and the cover is a great job too. More or less moved house with it bar the really big stuff and it’s done lots during the build, great wee thing, wouldn’t be without it now!

She doesn’t look like a tipper? So you’d be 500/550kg they’re empty as they are a light enough trailer. That flat bed of mine 8x5 is dangerous as you sending it on forgetting you’ve a trailer on the back as you can feel it nor see it

I know it wasn’t a tipper when I had to shovel it all out again .wouldn’t of been so bad if it wasn’t raining all evening then -3 from like 9pm on and it was like concrete

Looks good. I've the same wee trailer, how do the sides slot in? Was gonna get a set of them

Interesting day sorting a trailer out, started with Brian James and thought it looked class! Has everything and more and also was 1ft longer at 9x5’6. Got my wheelbarrow out and the trailer when tilted was about 120mm lower than the wheelbarrow so absolutely no use.

Went to moy , looked at the nugent, several issues I wasn’t fond of, no rear lense guards being one of them and again put my wheelbarrow at the back and tipped it up and exactly the same thing. I am baffled lol how are nugent/Brian James people offloading? Shovelling?

Anyways decided to head to jenkinsons in Armagh, they had an 8ft ifor , leds, ladder rack just in and ready to go. Safe to say I took it home with me

And it was 400 cheaper than the nugent and 500 cheaper than the brian James so well pleased

Anyone know where I would get some 8mm thick hard black plastic sheet?
My father in law's tipper ifor has one missing. It's no longer available from ifor Williams new (tried Lamont's).

I could go with rubber mudflaps but I'd like to keep it original

You could try Trailertek in Lurgan , that’s where I buy all the trailer bits as lamonts are a fortune

 

[Antoin]

Doesn't need to be premade, I would be happy enough to shape it myself if I could find the material. Doesn't need to be trailer specific.
I also don't think any trailer place would have it as most have the premade mudflaps/ archliners these days

@Bono872 ?

Rubber and Plastics Duncrue ?

[Antoin]

These are the ones that came on it;
Rigid 8mm plastic

 

[Antoin]

@Bono872 ?

Ebay ?

Not even sure what you call that type of plastic?

 

[stevieturbo]

Take a sample to @Bono872 Comco plastics. They'll likely have something.

 

[Nicky Glanza]

Could you adapt a set of lorry flaps @Antoin
