Wilson Patriot belt trailer
I have had one of Izzy's belt trailers since Indy last summer and thought it was time to get started on it.:DHere is what I'm shooting for with a few changes to make it mine.

Re: Wilson Patriot belt trailer
I also have built a rear apron to attach mud flaps to and mudflap hangers for the front of both axles.I am planning on putting ribbed panels on the sides like the hoppers have and already started working on countersinking the screws and there is a bunch of them.

Re: Wilson Patriot belt trailer
up in canada those types of trailers they call them walking floor trailers.the gravel haulers use them to haul gravel and when there is low clearance that they cannot use the actual dump truck ,they use this type of trailer which they call walking floor...anyway tomato....tamato..:p...your build is going to be awesome..i have never seen a scale working model of the belt(usa)walking floor(canada)trailer before:)...keep the updates coming and would like to see a video of this running:cool:

Re: Wilson Patriot belt trailer
just my opinion but i would only use sandbox/beach dirt only...any dirt that has any kind of wetness to it would be as heavy as mud and that will definetely make it struggle...:eek:

Re: Wilson Patriot belt trailer
Finally have some updates. Got the ribbed sides on,man those sheets are hard to glue. I didnt get the seams perfect,the more I sanded the more they needed so I quit on them. Here Is where I am at with it. Still like some mud flaps and mudflap weights,and cant decide if I want to put bows and front and rear caps and tarp.

Re: Wilson Patriot belt trailer
Very nice trailer, here in New jersey we call them walking floors. And they are used here for both garbage/demo waste, wood chips, soils and sand etc..... There are many fleets of small companies that run specifically these trailers for everything. They use these a lot at garbage and recycling indoor transfer stations since they don't have the clearance in the building for a dump truck or dump trailer.

Re: Wilson Patriot belt trailer
Looks awesome with the sides on!!!

Re: Wilson Patriot belt trailer
That is looking sharp as a tack! I like it. Great job with dressing this trailer up.
Bricknick, walking floor trailers are quite a bit different then live bottom belted trailers. Have a look.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO4JH0IPGtg |
