We wanted a low loader trailer which is capable of carrying upto 8 tons safely and at high speed.

On our wish list was:

• High speed axle
• Brakes
• suspension
• The capability to lower to the ground for side or front loading
• Steering rear axle for extra manoeuverability

We started with a steering rear axle with suspension and then from that designed the trailer around it using traditional drawing boards and CAD design technology. Profiles were drawn and then cut using a high definition plasma cutter and all the other steel and materials were supplied by local firms.

Below are a few pictures showing the process we went through fabricating and assembling the finished product.
