Since I posted the Dodge dually and fifth wheel pics this summer I have modified the trailer to make it even usable. I have added two 12000lb trailer leg jacks at the front corners for stability and now I can unhook the trailer even loaded. They crank up from the drivers side.
I added a receiver hitch on the trailer to receive my winch mounted on a stinger setup.
I narrowed the 36" ramps at the rear to 12" ( more than enough) and shedded 200 plus pounds off the ramps making them much easier to fold. I also put them on a bar to slide them in and out to match the width of whatever you are loading.
I cut the beavertail out between the I-beams and made a frame work with hinges that lifts up and levels with the trailer deck and the two folded ramps. This gives the trailer 4.5 feet x 7.5 feet more flat deck space when required. I can also load off a loading ramp now where I could not before.
I changed all the wheels to 16" instead of the 16.5" wheels that came with the trailer.
I also made a hand winch crane modifed at the bottom to fit in the 2x4 stake pockets to load engines, crap what ever. I put a strap on a clip near the top of the crane and strap it to the other side of the trailer to give it added support. The crane can owrk in any of 16 different stake pockets.
Lastly I bought some strap winches from princess auto ( on sale ) and welded them to the sides ,like heavier trailers, so I only have to replace the straps in the not the whole winch and strap. Also you can tighten the straps far better than with loose straps.
A few more mods in the future and sand blast and paint and I will have the perfect trailer.
