yankee99 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 importing axles is the way to go. You need the hangers, springs, hubs, wheel wells etc. Trying to build that here is a pia.

Why stainless ? it would be cool to have a trailer made by the guys who make the big stainless steel gates Pimp my trailer I have 3 flat car trailers , 2 have a flat area covered in wood so you can move stuff and one just has ramps for the wheels plus a 20 foot box trailer full of junk that was a race car trailer / repair shop the best trailers are Featherlight aluminum trailers , or one where the bed tilts so you can drive the car on without ramps , and the best is one where the bed drops to the ground and you can hand push a car on it yourself..... Ohhh and an electric 12v winch plus a hang operated winch like a boat trailer would use...... a box off a delivery truck works too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazmlb Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 A trailer without brakes voids the insurance of the towning vehicle, all trailers must have brakes to be able to be towed and retain insurance cover by the towing vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKKdreaming Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 in the USA you do not need brakes , but I do like the German trailers that have a hand brake so it will not roll away when unhooked , I have never seen that in the USA and then if you want brakes in the USA there are 2 types Electric brakes , which hook up to the truck and go on when you press the brakes , there is also a controller under the dash to adjust them and surge brakes that are hydralic and only on the trailer, when you slow down quick a rod pushes a master cylinder and makes the brakes work , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Thailand, ANY trailer needs brakes to stop voiding the towing vehicles insurance Interesting, whilst iam not doubting you but if brakes are needed to avoid insurance issues of the towing vehicle one would think brakes would be mandatory for any trailer to road registered then.

bazmlb Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 so let me ask you one question "How many trailers have you build in Thailand "? And just what does building a trailer have to do with knowing what the insurance restrictions are? Sure i know to stop at a red traffic light, doesnt mean i have built the car... The answer is 2 anyway, both with electric brakes I brought here from Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace of Pop Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hes clearly checked with all Thai Insurance Companies, or intent on digging a bigger hole. Too much hearsay IMO. Ive towed a twin JetSki trailer for years here but didnt know about all this babble, been covered by BKK Insurance for 26 Years.My Wife Told Me.

White Christmas13 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 So you have bought 2 trailers in Australia and imported them that makes you an expert in registration and insurance for trailers then does it ? And you try to tell us a 6 by 4 trailer needs brakes? I have made over 200 trailers in Thailand all different shapes and sizes and I know nothing I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
