    Default Rocker roller 3t Gaurd clearance

    Hi all,
    This week I'll hopefully start building my flat top trailer.
    Tray size 2.2x4.8, 3tonne rated,
    How much clearance do I need to allow between the tray above and tyres to allow for the rocker rollers to move? Is there a formula ?

    Hi, as a general rule, I use the distance from the axle to the chassis as the distance between tyre and mudguard.

    Default wheel travel

    what have you decided to set it at Sean?

    I'm contemplating a flat top build myself, but can't seem to get components cheap!!!

    any clues?

    I ended up allowing about 140mm clearance. Looking at all the trailers on the market they look as though there is less clearance than what I used. Hope it works out!
