Tube trailer? Why not?

[skipnrocks]

I have had it in my head for some time to either do a tube trailer with dual rails similar to how we do for buggy chassis or even triangularlike a crane arm. What are your thoughts. Potentially it would be much lighter and stronger.


What has spurred it is my buddy got a plasma table you can program cuts into. So it would literally do all of our cats for us and I would just have to welded together.

I've thought about doing it too for a single axle buggy trailer. I even started a thread once about buggy specific trailers and it seemed like 50% were for and 50% against, so with that said build it and show people it'll work :****:

I think if you had a nice trailer dedicated to your buggy it would be neat to do side rails and a tongue to mimic the tube work on the buggy.

I thought of that too. Have it powdered to match. I cant find any reason not to other than time. proper design would be a key element.

Thats a boat trailer but still along the same lines and looks cool.
