Looks good Travis. Is one of those mine!!

It looks like that plastic is easy to use. Rims look good as well.

I can see one thing though. I am not sure if you overlooked this or just want to do something different. Generally on these trailers the 4 frame rails sit flush with the wood deck. I noticed that the cross members sit flush with the frame rails so when you deck the trailer the frame rails are going to either be covered or sit lower than the deck. If it were me I would cut the cross members down the same amount as the wood decking material.

Just my opinion. You might have something else in mind.

Have you figured out the sag issue yet, you mentioned making a tension system.

Thanks Ken they are delrin they started as a 3 ft x 2in rod and I wish I had 100 more of the rims.

Travis good looking lowboy and I like the quad axle. How wide is it and are those plastic wheels or aluminum they look good to?

Thanks Jammer it is 7 7/8 in wide and it will have another 3/4 to an inch on each side when the outriggers are folded out. The rims are one piece delrin with bearings in the rims.

That won't be wide enough for my machine it 12 niches wide at the outside of the cats. I guess after I get every thing else built I will have to build a beam trailer to haul it. You have done a nice job so far and the wheels look real good. Ed
