Trailer - now this looks cool

Share this page

Very clever. I'd "guess" the ramps and tracks are too wide for the typical LBC to fit, and it looks like it would have to be made narrower from scratch. Also, what would the handling be like with a 2,200-2,500 pound car on a single axle instead of a double???

Should be fine, if the tires are rated for the weight and the CG is far enough forward. I towed a TR3 on a 2 wheel boat trailer some 2000 miles behind a car that just barely qualified as mid-size, and it handled fine. If I was going to do it a lot, though, I'd want brakes on the trailer.

Thanks for the link, John-Peter. Building a folding car trailer was on my list of "someday" projects; now maybe I'll buy one instead.
 
Not really sure why you would want a single axle trailer in the first place? Tandems are far safer and pull smoother than a single. You should also understand that people love to hit trailers, so the stronger and more stable the better.

Cheers.
 
Looks like more of a novelty than anything. It sure does flex a lot when he's loading it in the video.

+1 on the two axles is better than one.
 
Kind of interesting design.

Single axle trailers are not legal for carrying cars in New Jersey.
I believe that is true of many other states, at least in the northeastern USA.
