The design also includes handy features like tie-down hooks, double safety chains and weight-saving chequer plate bed. Tail lights are securely positioned well out of the way and protected from potential damage.

Various options are included in the plans to allow you to customize the trailer to your needs:

  • Tilt-assist mechanisms - hydraulic or pneumatic
  • Tie-down hooks
  • Drop ramps
  • Jerry can holders 
  • Spare wheel mount on drawbar
