First Globe and trailers

[Bsorenson79]

I was wondering if you could tell me the dimensions of the rails you have running down the outer edge of the lowboy body? And where you bought them at? I've been trying to find a aluminum beam with a small lip like that forever.

All the rails are 1 x .5 x .125 wall channel from online metals (I think). I "ripped" the outer rails down to .25 wide at the table saw with a special blade for non-ferrous metal. I remember it being a fairly dangerous process, if I had a bandsaw I would have rather used it.

Thanks to all for the continuing comments.

Thank you!! I've been putting some materials together from a lowboy build. I've been looking for that outer beam for a while. Thanks again!

Thanks for looking,
Bill
