Looks good, I'm sure *** will sell more in the US since RC4WD want's an additional 100$ shipping surcharge.

that looks close to what I'm looking for. the only thing it's missing is a beaver-tail assembly off the back; I think a guy could make one of those. that's one of the first real good looking double-drop lowbeds I've seen in a while.

The price is not too bad but if you would want to make it a working neck you would have to rebuild the hole neck then I think it is too steep in price plus I see a few other things that for me would need to be changed to make it look proper..

yes the neck is almost useless if intended to make it function. I was looking at this and thinking how could you make it function without cutting it all to ****. I would suspect you could hide most of the workings inside the neck?

I also see that the rear of the trailer has a deck plate (between the wheels) that is kinda high. If you wanted to haul a excavator and tuck the boom into the well the stick might hit that.

Don't see any tie downs but that's just me nit picking. its still a nice product for sure.

However for a guy that has no building skills and just wants a cool looking low boy . this one should fit the bill.

all I use when haul real machines are chain binders over the rail lip to the tracks
I think its a great product for the money as apposed to spending $2000.00 for
another aluminum lowboy
