Not 100% sure but I believe JoseFL10-4 had one at Indy a week ago......48' spread axle. Looked like the ones I've seen on CoastWay's site. And I know of at least one other gentleman at Indy who I spoke with who had a triaxle dropdeck ordered from him as well.

Looked like a nice unit, lights and all!:)

Did you email him? darnat2@gmail.com

Those are some great looking trailers. Been sniffing them for a while

[spudd]

i have looked at them and saw one in person. Nice but I don't like the suspension.
but for the money its a heck of a trailer

[bigford]

somebody asked about them and gave me the link, they look
nice but i never heard or seen them anywhere. i like the drop and flat

[FabOne]

The one's that I have seen look great and the price isn't bad either.

I was lucky enough to get one off a member on here...but I have also seen them pop up on eBay.....I tried several times to reach out to him and make one but he said he's not making them at the moment

Here's mine....great craftsmanship

Those trailers are beautiful. Im hoping to get one once he starts building again.

[BRICKNICK]

They look like top notch craftsmanship. I've seen alfys trailer in person and thought it was awesome I just didn't know where it was from. The price seems decent also. I be seen this guy on eBay for a while but he says on his site he isn't building at the moment due to other projects.

[Izzy]

Looks nice, wish I could see one in person. I like.

[bigford]

i seen alfys at the mack show last year
it is sweet

[Northern Farmer]

Definitely nice trailers. Tried emailing him months ago but never received an answer.

[Kausekaos]

He sent me a email today. He's going to start making more starting October 1st.

[Northern Farmer]

Sweet, yeah I believe he moved over the summer.

[Kausekaos]

I like his latest style. Closet I'll get to a lowboy since I dont care too much for the rc4wd one.

Are you referring to this trailer ? I agree it looks bloody great, not sure if it could handle heavy loads since I've never seen his trailers in person. Nonetheless if I had a chance to buy any of his trailers I would :D

Its between that and the one Alfy has, just bought a carson linde h40d.

[trucker n]

I emailed him got a reply mine should be done in December :D

[Kausekaos]

Which one did you order? I'm curious on how they look in black.

[Northern Farmer]

Nice! How did you convince him to build you a trailer ?

[bigford]

$$$$$$$

[Northern Farmer]

Lol

[trucker n]

I just emailed him and he put me on the list
I ordered the 48 ft spread but may change to the 53 ft spread

[Howie]

I see this thread is about a year old. Some great looking trailers that's 4 sure!! Any rough ideas on prices?

[trucker n]

mine is a 1000

[Howie]

mine is a 1000

That's not too crazy, when you see some stuff on Feebay that's very pricey from Hong Kong & China, the build quality on most of that stuff is junk.

[Cossett]

All his work Ive seen is great and for custom work we all know its going to cost $$$$,
And in the end if the client is happy is worth the money,

Cheers Tracy

[Northern Farmer]

mine is a 1000

That's a fair price for a nice trailer :) Keep us posted how it turns out. I sure would like to have him build me a one in the future.

[bigford]

I was going to get one but the 6 month wait was nuts
So I bought a rcp dump trailer, that only took 7 months!!!

[Northern Farmer]

Hahahaha

I think 7 is more than 6 ?? Do you have any photos of that to post here?

[bigford]

Of my dump trailer??

[Howie]

Yes, did you get it yet?

[bigford]

rcp57 trailers are works of art that work

Come on now, we both know it only took 6 months and 29 days.lol At least a month of that delay was waiting on the 3d printed parts but we won't get into that.lol

Rodger
All joking aside talk to Reggie about making a step deck trailer for you
He needs something to do in between fishing and looking at beavers

Hi everyone, I happened across this thread about my trailers and thought I would pop in and say hi. I am glad you like your trailer "trucker n"! I enjoyed reading the comments here.

I did relocate from the Seattle area to northern Idaho this year. Finally got all settled and started building some trailers on October 1st.

I designed my trailers in late 2012, and am glad to see people like them. I saw a comment on the beavertail, about how much weight it could carry. Basically, if a 2 axle real life trailer without bed strut supports can carry it, then an equal scale weight could be carried on mine. As a side note though, I am currently not building the beavertail at this time, since I need to concentrate on the flat decks and drop deck orders.

For example, it can not carry the weight of a 45lb 870K loader, 45 lbs scales to 123000 lbs, and no real life 2 axle drop deck can carry that kind of weight either. A drop deck with a 2 axle spread would have a legal weight limit of about 20k lbs on each axle, which scales to about 7.25lbs per axle on a 1/14th scale trailer. So if you had a 30 lb load and 15lbs was on the tractor drivers and front axle, then that would leave 15lbs on the trailers 2 spread axles.

Anyways just wanted to say hi, and thanks for all the nice comments, I appreciate it!!

just so u know I put 80ibs on mine did not do any harm

Wow, well there you go!, that will probably void the manufacturers's warranty!:D

Speaking of excessive weight, I had a customer who had the loader which weighed 45lbs and it was causing the RC4WD lowboy to drag on the ground due to the excessive weight compressing his trucks suspension.

I built him a 2 axle jeep or dolly with heavy duty airbag suspension to cure his problem. He sent me a picture today of his rig with my dolly attached, worked out real good.

I will attach a couple pics of the dolly as well as a picture from one of my customer's looong stretched Grand Hauler with one of my 53ft tri-axle drop decks attached to it. It makes my 47.25" trailer look short almost! He just got this trailer a week ago from me.

[Coastway Trailers]

Well I thought I was going to post a few pictures, but they are not showing up, not sure why?

[sneff]

Glad to see you signed up and joined us on the forum Darwin. Been dreaming about your trailers for years. Hope to order one soon.

Curious what that jeep trailer looks like. I have the same RC4WD lowboy and clearance can be an issue at times.
Here's a handy video showing you how to post pictures on a forum

[Coastway Trailers]

Thank you Sneff for the warm welcome! I would be happy to set you up with a trailer someday!

So I will try again with my pictures. :) So hopefully my jeep that I built for the RC4WD lowboy shows up along with my customer's rig showing it attached. Also one picture showing another customer of mine with his long stretched Grand Hauler, and one of my 53' drop deck tri-axles behind it.

The only thing that would be better is if the lowboy had a longer neck so weight could be transferred to the tractor axles, right now all the lowboy weight is completely on the jeep's axles. The lowboy kingpin needs to reach in front of the dolly's front axle to put some weight on the tractor also. But it works fine this way. That loader is 45lbs he said, so the jeep is keeping the front of the lowboy off the ground.

A folding gooseneck would be great!

[Northern Farmer]

:eek: Great work Darwin that looks like a solid towing setup! It must be easier to back up now with the loads weight transferred to the jeep. Had to swap out the rear suspension on my hauler when pulling the lowboy with the 4200 excavator on it or else the rear would bottom out. Might just have to get me one of those jeep trailers :D

Sweet, any plans for a Coastway Lowboy in the future?

Well at this time I don't have any plans for a lowboy. A frameless hydraulic 40ft end dump is higher on my list when I do decide to build something new, or a quad axle flatbed with lift axle in rear.

Keep building these beauties, your trailers look so clean all polished up :D
