He's a great friend and extremely fun to be with.
I purchased this trailer from him and took it back to France where it originally came from. In its previous life the beast of a trailer, which measures 7.4 x 2.4 m (!) and has a load capacity of 1000kg, used to carry a fiberglass trimaran.
In its current form it is clearly to big for my future Pathfinder, however given its modular construction it is actually a very easy job to adapt it to the right length and width. A colleague from work has proposed help and a welder to do up the very few welds necessary for the project. I will tackle this soon!
Congrats with the beast on wheels. U have the basic platform to work with.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good start. Will you need to have a licence and test certificate for a trailer of that size?
ReplyDeleteHello Rik, hello Max, good to hear from you two!
ReplyDeleteThe trailer of such size (>750kg) requires an official registration in France, however (luckily) there is no test certificate to follow, or programmed inspections. Since the official papers don't state the actual length /width of the beast I think I'll dig in with the angle grinder light heartedly. Off course I plan to leave the welding and mechanical assembly checks to a professional...
