trailer build

[deano59]

hi all
sorry for been slack there has not been much to show but since last report ive ordered a 280 amp deep cycle battery and a 200 watt solar panel to go on the roof i got talked out of using two single batteries when i could get one big one and have less wiring to cope with .
also have ordered the axles so it;s starting to get there .we have welded underneath the chassis and painted the underside.
last night we flipped the frame over a job much harder than i thought it would be due to it's size . it took 3 blokes and 2 engine cranes as thats all we had there a block and tackle would have made it easier but then i would have needed a forklift to get to attach it to the rafters and well if i had a forklift i wouldnt have needed the block and tackle lol.

now the frames up the right way we can start too make the frame work to support the sides and roof too. its all getting there slowly.
in the background is a picture of another tilt trailer i built for myself and have just sold to help pay for the new one the new owner wants 4 wheel electric brakes fitted to it instead of just the ones on the front axle that it had so im just waiting for those to rock up so i can finish that one and get it out the way. cheers dean i hope this picture attaches lol.
