My ATV trailer

admin

Here is the ATV trailer I recently fabricated.  It is primarily designed to be used on a Sheep farm hence the high sides on it.  It took around 2 days to fabricate before I had it Galvanised.

Reply:Thst is a really nice looking ATV utility trailer!  I bet that will be real handy.  Just don,t let that pup get spoiled riding in the back all the time .
Reply:Nice work man, I like how you did the sides, that is quality!
Reply:The hardest part of doing the sides was the laying out of all the measurements.  I had to lay them out on both sides before I folded the profiles on the box and pan folder in my 'shop.  I spent a few days researching similar style trailers manufactured by established companies here in the UK and took the best of all their designs and came up with the trailer.  I have a few other designs I'm working on and will post them up here as soon as I have them fabricated and galvanised.  i live in a rural farming area of Scotland and there is a market for these type of trailers here so hopefully I'll get a few orders off the local farmers
Reply:thats a real nice ATV trailer, very usefull for small jobs.
Reply:very cool. Is that your sheep dog?   What does something like that cost to get galvanized?DayePound to fit, paint to match
Reply:hey, that is my neighbour's boxer bitch Molly that was in the back of the trailer! We dont work a sheep farm - our neighbours do, but we decided to do this trailer as it will be handy for a variety of jobs. Over here the galvanising cost 50pence per kilo.  The trailer was 90Kilos after dipping so it should have cost £45 sterling, but unfortunately I wasnt aware of the minimum charge that the plant includse so the total cost was £141 sterling including taxes!  it was a lesson learned, but the trailer still came in cheaper than going to buy one from our local ATV specialist!  Next time I have stuff that needs galv'd I'll make sure I go with plenty to justify the minimum charge to keep the costs down!
