Hi forum folk.

Getting some pricing to have one of these (see pic). Made mention that I dont need it to be builders unit, thinking about the ATM. Said can go further apart with the cross braces than pic.

Need to cart 6mtr lengths of light stuff like bundles of guttering shaped roll form and thin wall tubing for the business. Bundle would come in at about 200 odd Kg. Wont touch freight companies with guttering, guaranteed to be stuffted by time it gets here, and thats if you can get one to take it.

Already had the obvious pointed out to me; a "standard" 20ft sheeted (6mtr) flat top will be quite heavy.

Asked to come up with my required specs. Here is what I have come up with.
***********************************************
Load space 20 ft (6mt) long


2mt wide (as wide as possible without side clearance lites) over guards.


ATM 2000 Kg


Ford studs ideally. Guards to suit 16 inch rim - ute running with 16s, easier wrt tyres.


brakes on both axles. Hydraulic is fine


Tie rail on sides. Front/rear if easily doable.


Tow vehicle: Falcon ute, so yeah trailer weight is a consideration


Wont need as many cross braces as this


Mainly cart lengths of guttering and lite weight tubing (bundled)


pls price on slipper spring and load sharing.


Not against running tri axle, but not sure if really need to.
************************************************
Only things that came to mind after the fact was maybe somewhere underneith top to stash straps and spare wheel holder ...

Some of you might recognise this trailer.

Any other specs folks have found useful with a flat top?
