Awesome i've been waiting to see someone start one of these!! It looks good. Are you going to build the dumpers also? Happy building

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

Yes, but i don't know if only lift the trailer or all truck

Re: CHIP TRAILER

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

Looks like you got a good start.I knew when you talked about it at Indy it would be next on the build list:D

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

sweet cant waite to see finished product

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

If you need pictures of dumper set ups I could probably get you set up :D:D

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

Thanks, I download some pics I just don't know if lift the whole tractor and trailer or just the trailer, I will post pics soon. Woodhog I can play with it inside the house no problems jajajaj

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

I have seen them do both so just the trailer is realistic as well.

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

that is too cool buddy,looks just like the chip trailers...nice job:)

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

Cool build. I see these trailers all the time, and thought it would make a neat project. Good to see something totally different. Let us know how it turns out. You are off to a great start. These trailers have such low bellies. Don't get it hung up on the railroad tracks!

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

Here more pics, is almost done, now i m working in the dump platform
looking for a 48 inch long to lift a whole truck, i m going to use screw drive and i will use a drill to lift for now. Pic for the platform will post next weekend.

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

Nice work. Your trailer looks great. Your ball screw looks up to the task of lifting. Industrial grade parts!

Re: CHIP TRAILER
 

The dumper in the begining, i use a high torque drill, i cut the handle with the switch that way i can control from out side, any idea very welcome thks.

Re: CHIP TRAILER
