TOPIC: Cheap Enclosed Trailer FS

Cheap Enclosed Trailer FS 14 years, 2 months ago #6937

Older, higher quality Haulmark trailer, set up for racing. Located 2 hours west of Chicago. $2,900 OBO. Fits my 944 Spec car with about 20" to spare. For smaller cars.

The good:
* Very solid, pulls straight
* Cabinets up front
* Workbench up front with vise installed
* Custom, collapsable tire rack (German engineered by my father ) Holds 6 tires
* Aluminum diamond plate floor
* Hinged ramp door extensions for low-profile vehicles.
* Newer tires
* Bearings redone about 8 months ago
* Aerodynamic "bubble" on the front helps MPG.
* No leaks
* Have weight distributing hitch to go with this trialer


The bad

*Interior used to be white Vinyl covered. I took most of this off, as it was peeling.
*One hub has some damage from a bearing going bad. This is when I had the bearings redone by Ekquist Racing. They were able to fit new bearings OK, but the bearing buddy/cover will not stay in tight without something holding it in place. Right now I have zip ties on there, and it held up fine for 500 + miles, but a metal band clamp or safety wire would be better (see picture). The hub could also be replaced by Ekquist Racing (where the trailer is now).

FYI, I have diamond plate for the door as well, but it makes it pretty heavy.

It's built like a tank, and has a lot of diamond plate, etc., so it's close to 3,500 lbs.

I just picked up a 20x8.5 Haulmark. I wound up gutting the entire interior which took out about 300lbs (had the 3/8 plywood walls and a bunch of shelves. I think my trailer full weight is about 3,000lbs empty. You can actually take it to a Flying J or other type of full truck stop and put it on the scale to get your total weight. I plan on doing that some time in the future.
