Default Landoll 455

Hi guys,
I wanted to share my Landoll 455 I built. I am almost done, I just have the scale details left. The trailer is all aluminum, three axle, with inlayed maple deck. The axles are modified LESU trailer axles and leaf spring sets. The wheels are the LESU 52mm duallys. The axles slide on linear bearings along with a lead screw and geared motor. The tilt is from two Acruonix linear actuators. I wanted to create something different from the standard low boys and flat beds out there. Thanks for checking it out,

Matt

Here is a video of it working.

Very impressive trailer!

Where do you plan to hide the electronics in that?

Thanks frizzen,
To simplify the model, I will be actuating the trailer from the tractor receiver. I will have two servo leads from the linear actuators, one for the sliding ESC, main battery power, and trailer lights through a connector to the tractor. I'll utilize as many common grounds as I can to reduce the number of connections. The trailer neck is hollow in the center to allow me to run the wiring forward. The linear actuators, slide motor, and ESC are all hidden under the trailer bed.

That sounds like a lot easier way to handle it. Can't wait for a loading something video

You can get by with just running 1 power and 1 ground for the whole trailer connector, then just run a signal wire for each channel.

That's what I did for my side dump trailer. I needed power for the 2 esc's. one runs the air pump for the front lift axle, the other runs the air ride suspension. Also needed 2 more channels for the dump valves that control the air ride height. Additionally power was required for the Bluetooth light controller. It was far easier to run them all on a common hot, & ground, then it was to run 3 separate wires for all of them!

i'm planning a b double with lights, landing gear, and sound (reefer) . i plan to use a frsky qx7 radio on sbus, and have 2 receivers, 1 for the truck on channels 1-8, the other in the trailer on channels 9-16 and that way you don't need wires in between. i think i can have a 3rd on 17-25 or something for the 2nd trailer

Here are some updated photos of the setup. I got all the decals in place and the trailer hooked up to the W900L. (W900 build still in progress)

Wow! That's a super nice trailer! Do you have any more photos showing the mechanisms involved?

Thanks, I used linear rail for the sliding motion. I then used a planetary geared motor on a lead screw that was supported with both radial and thrust bearings to take the load. Limit switches were placed inline with the motor to act as travel end stops.

Kool timing, the people across the street are getting a pool put in and one of these rolled up with the excavator on it. I was thinking what a different take on a low loader... Of course every time they loaded or unloaded it I was gone so never got to see how it worked. You did a great job maybe when my skills catch up with my ideas I'll try one...

Thanks! It was a fun build, a lot of work but worth it. I just wanted something different from all the flat beds and lowboys out there.

I love the color on that blue truck!

That Landoll looks fantastic! How much weight can it take?

Thanks, the trailer itself weights about 15lbs and can probably handle an additional 30lbs of load. The trailer being all aluminum will handle a pretty good amount of weight on it. The weak point is the stock Lesu trailer springs shown in the pictures above. They are fairly soft, I might try and find a stiffer set to increase the load carrying capacity.

Or....perhaps take a tine from the lawn rake, & transform it into some helper springs to stiffen the ride a bit.
