Re: 53' custom box trailer build

Gradually making progress. I secured the kingpin deck and raised it 1/4" to clear the fenders and level the chassis.
At the moment I'm concentrating on the frame and I will do the electronics once...

Re: Hostile's projects and various

Thats a pretty sweet auto hauler! Nice work on the construction too! I don't think I've ever seen a day cab globe liner before either.

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

It's been a little bit since my last update.

The framework of the trailer is changing and becoming a lot more structurally sound. I'm replacing a lot of the wood for aluminum. I think I'm not...

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

Ok so now the lift gate is secured to the back of the trailer, I can now start working on the winching system.

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

Changed the gate and made it taller/longer. I really don't want to take the winches off my other vehicles so I started working on the screw lift but the threaded rod I have is too big and I need a...

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

Unless the winch line and screw drive are paired to keep the door level going up and down I can see how your sketch would work.

I've watched the full sized trailer with the screw drive open and...

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

Hydro's were just a thought.

Opening and closing isn't an issue. But once the lifting and lowering action is executed there will be slack on the lines once its open and lifting at the same time...

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

Still stuck on the rear gate actions. So I decided to hook it up to my rig and it measures 65.5" from bumper to bumper.

I know how the door is supposed to work but I dont know where to begin with...

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

I believe that might be the answer you just described. I watched a few YouTube videos of the life sized in operation. Actually Feather Lite has a good video of how those gates work on their trailers....

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

You're warm but neither of those particular BMWs.

Yes, you are correct about the vertical and horizontal gate. I need to come up with a way to lock it horizontal while going up and down.

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

The cargo arrived today and fits like a glove.

In other news, I started polishing the aluminum then hooked up two of the four cables needed for lifting and levitation. The levitating is where I'm...

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

One step forward and two steps back. I needed better bracing so I had to get rid of a lot that I can add later. I used some aluminum to make brackets to hold the upper deck without the gate falling...

Re: King Hauler Farm Truck.

Great job on the weathering and with the wood bed! Certainly looks like a farm truck to me. The rust is spot on, its so ugly but great execution.

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

I've considered using screw drives for lifting the gate up but I'm not clear on where I would place the motors. For closing the gate I'm going to use a winch with two spools of cable for each side. A...

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

After many changes and head scratching, it has a rear door/lift. Needs to be extended by an inch to allow clearance for a 3.5" tall mystery car and that will be my goal for tomorrow....

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

After mulling it over I found if I wasn't an idiot, all I had to do was turn the "C" bar facing inward. Drill two hles on the "L" deck bracket and voilà, problem solved....

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

Thanks!

I'm going to look for a car that'll fit. The ceiling height might need to raised by an inch after I did some research on the height of a NASCAR and I'm about an inch too low.

Right now...

Re: 53' custom box trailer build

Really starting to make good use of the Tamiya flatbed. Floorboards why not use them for walls. The deck is perfect for an upper deck. After doing some measurements for the height of a typical...
