On doing some now. Going well. Going to have them galvanised. Put matbro brackets on the front to lift them off in 1. 22 foot long to.

Bingo, why the hell more companies don't just fit brackets to them I will never know, nothing worse than having them hanging off chains or pallet forks with folk buggering around trying to bolt them on.

Is the frame where matbro brackets are welded strong enough to take weight ?
It will weigh a lot heavier being 22 feet
long especially by the time you fit
canopy at rear

Well your not going to go racing around the yard the them on the front. I only put 4 good welds to see off the front was strong enough. And yes it was. I will put it on the trailer before I weld the rest up. Back canopy will go on the hydraulic tail board. 4 short straps will hold it on. 60mm box frames 3mm thick. Twice as strong as you can buy

do you mind saying what you think it cost in materials. pm me if you prefer. Looks just the job. How are you fixing them down. Got 3 bolts on either side of the long section on ours we could use but a strap might work

We have a set to sell off an 11t Bailey trailer( in blue). £500. Distance might be the problem

I have a set of a 16 tonner that has some slight damage to the left side but if you are cutting them down it wouldn’t make any difference

Now I have a mate who can get steel seconds. It's sometimes has a slight split o the seem. Or been welded together. It's fine for jobs like this. So the 60mm box was 18 quid a length. The 8x4 by 2 mm was about 32 quid. So call it 350quid. I'm hoping to have it galvanised. The trailer had a roll over sheet. It's got the ratchet bolted to the trailer. So a short length of strap should do it

What stops sides from moving? Flat inside?
