Tilt deck Tag trailer

[RCP57]

I bought some nice wheels and tires from MPE months ago so I thought I should finally put them to use. I started on this tilt deck Tag trailer a few days back. Hopefully someone will like it and scoop it up. Price will be determined at the end of it all. We'll have to wait and see how many goodies I throw at it.lol

Here's what I have so far. I think it's coming along nicely and fit a variety of Bruder toys:D.

It would appear that Photobucket is taking a dump at the moment so I will post pics again as soon as it's working.:rolleyes:

[Kausekaos]

Seen it on Facebook, it looks sweet.

[Cossett]

Looks nice

Thanks for posting the link. Seems my whole Photobucket is messed up. I can't see pictures in any of my posts.:(

[Kausekaos]

I like those wheels.

[RCP57]

They are beautiful Calvin. I'm not sure if MPE has anymore but I kinda wish I had another set. Oh well, gotta get this one sold first!

Tilt test. My video camera bit the dust so I'm using the still camera and filming with it is hit or miss. This is a mix of both.lol

https://youtu.be/9_dO1Oq45tw

[Kausekaos]

Yeah they are, wonder if they fit my tag.

In the vid I think you said you used the actuators so it didn't tilt by itself. MTA actually has that trailer, saw it last night. Tilts with weight, when not loaded or once loaded there are clamps on both sides that lock it in place. Just incase someone wanted one not as jiggy as how your making this one lol

[Cooper]

These trailers are a perfect fit for the dumptrucks reg, almost all the medium sized construction companies around here have triaxles and a trailer hauling backhoe or small dozer. Perfect match for the dump bodies !! Nice reg, what are you planning for decking? Just one piece of wood with simulated lines? Remember when I built the gooseneck? I wood burnt straight lines in one piece of wood and really looked like planking with less work and never having one board loosen up.

[RCP57]

Thanks guys. I ended up using individual boards again but only because I didn't have anything on hand that would work the other way.lol

[Kausekaos]

Great work like always sir

[TRUCKMAKER]

The still camera does real well for that. The trailer is looking good.

[RCP57]

More progress and finally nearing completion! I spent another whole day tinkering around on this but I was able to make a jack from scratch as well as a few other pieces. D rings are on the add list but it's getting down to it now. Powder coat and then hopefully a buyer!

AWESOME build Reg!! That jack kills me. What detail!!

-Terry

[Bo Wallen]

Reg knows how to jack things up...............Awesome Sauce :)

[RCP57]

Haha, that jack took at least 4 hours to build! Oh well, she's looking good. Pics and final test video loading.

[RCP57]

This would look great behind that GH Bo!;)

I'm looking to get $1000USD plus shipping. If anyone is interested shoot me a PM and we can discuss it further.

[Cooper]

Looks great reg!!!!

[Cossett]

Are you selling the jockey wheels seperate Reg ?

Cheers Tracy

[RCP57]

I didn't make the wheels/tires Tracy. I only made the hubs to bolt them up to my axles. The came from MPE. http://www.rctruckandconstruction.com/showthread.php?t=9937 I'm not sure if he is still making them or not.

[Cossett]

Im talking about the landing leg on the draw bar ?

Cheers Tracy

Im talking about the landing leg on the draw bar ?

Cheers Tracy

Oh, sorry Tracy. I wasn't sure what you meant so I took a guess... Fail!lol

I don't really have any plans to but I guess I could make the odd one here and there. It's a bit of fiddling around though so I'm not sure how "cheap" they would be. I would probably need to see around $100 to make them worth while. Probably more than anyone would spend?

Reg

[Kausekaos]

My tag needs a better landing leg tho and maybe ramps too. Just saying lol

Bump!

[Bo Wallen]

I know it would look good after any truck Reg. Still need to put the MotherBox on a Truck and haul the Pup.............So many projects so little time. The good thing is that a new budget year is coming soon.

I like new budget years! Maybe you need the roller too in a package deal since it is also for sale? Pretty nice com-Bo:cool:
