Low loader trailer.

[bigrigg150]

Best low loader trailer on the market?. Doesn’t need to be silly fancy spec just to carry a 10 / 13 ton digger about safely. Had a chieftain for the last 10 years, But it needs new ramps making and re boarding and isn’t on air breaks. What’s people’s thoughts?? Cheers

Best, or cheapest that is good enough to do the job?

erm, long lasting good quality well built, probably stick to twin axle. At sensible money.

I will be first to say why not make new ramps and fit new boards and air brakes

Bought a Bailey a couple of years ago as it was in stock at a local dealers. Has commercial brakes and hydraulic ramps. Plenty of jpm and other cheaper makes about but mostly all with smaller brakes.

JPM, slurrykat, kane, herron.

Lots out there to pick from, we have a JPM ourselves

Got a jpm it’s ok could be a bit stiffer, it’s been modded now to stop ramps from moving when loading in loading

I would like to mod ours, the brackets for the hydraulics ramp rams catches the lane on a steep slope as the brackets are very low

Ours is sprung but found trailer pivots when loading unloading got a bar that holds ramps firm now

We run a Bailey, it's a good trailer really and not much if any more expensive than the cheaper brands.

It had a revamp about 5 years ago. It’s ready for an easier life now. I think it cost no less than 2k to revamp it....it’s probably worth 3k..... I seen a 12 month old Jpm advertised on Facebook marketplace earlier today for just over 6k. May aswell have a new one and let someone else tart this one up.....it’ll be a good trailer for someone.

Our Herbst has the same issue, followed a Herron a while back with the same setup but the bracket is higher up the ramp to give more ground clearance.

Is it straight forward job to modify brackets ?
