Hi Martin I agree the trailer is a problem. My thoughts are a
hydraulic axle so the trailer can be lowered to the ground also why can't
the bed be folding or it comes apart with pins ? I have a use for a small
er trailer two wheels most of the time with a 1.8 meter bed max width is n
ot a problem here in the UK we have a legal requirement that the trailer h
as to be braked has anybody designed a trailer like this ?
