Seems to be patterned off heavy haul trailers in Australia, maybe some of our members from Australia could chime in and confirm that. It's a nice trailer for sure.

I had a request years ago to make one similar to this. I had turned the job down.

Beautiful trailer. I hope the workmanship is good.

Yes its a copy of the Drake Trailers,
Thought someone was posting there 1/50 scale one at first, till I noticed it was 1/14 scale,
But they are using the same wheels / tyres / suspendion that were on there previous trailer and look out of scale when you compare it to the real ones. also cant find a select color on there site so there is no other color choice for this trailer,
Or the under side pics which they usually do, and think its part due to it being a new product for them and dont want it coppied before they have sold a few.
But I see there this type of goose neck trailers daily as I live on a major road and T.J. Clark & Sons doing deliveries to the CAT dealer around the corner from my place with and without the dolly on the front depending on the loads transported. but the smallest load Ive seen T.J. Clark & Sons pull and take from CAT is there small bobcats in different configeration...
But I do like it as its easy to expand it by pulling the pins on the trailer front and rear , the angle on the trailer goose neck can be changed but using a alan key , widening the dolly is done with a alan key as well , it has a similar landing leg set up to tamiya , also the pivoting skid plate on the trailer can be fixed by puting a screw in for fix or removing it to pivot side ways and it comes with a draw bar hitch on the back of the trailer and the price reflects the time they thought about designing it close to $2300 aud.
But by the looks it should be a good seller and better it they offer a color choice

Cheers Tracy

Agreed, some lorider tires would be better suited for the trailer coupled with some hard foams. An easy upgrade :)

If you freeze frame the video you get a better perspective of the size difference of the wheels on the trailer next to 1:14 tamiya truck. Size looks good :cool:
