Plant / flat trailer buying advice

[Clive]

Looking for a flat trailer to move JCB loadall between farms and also to sit a 13000L enduroxmax tank on along with a large chemical locker to bowser for sprayers

Can you get the shipping container twist locks on ag flat beds as I think it could be a tidy and safe way to fasten tank and locker down ?

2 or 3 axle ? Air brakes and ABS a must these days I guess ?

which manufacturers should I be talking to ?

Kane.
Not herbst.

Kane beavertails look good. Can just use as conventional flat rest of time.

Seem to remember someone on here had a smart HM trailer with twist locks as sprayer backup trailer.

I thought you just loaded tank etc in back of grain trailer.

Tank is curentky used in a grain trailer yes but we need more space ideally for chem locker and trace element ibc’s do with need for something to transport loadall longer distances and bulk bags on occasion. I think it would be a worthwhile addition for us

We also only own 1 grain trailer (others are hired at harvest) and a second bowser would be useful on occasions, the tanks are pretty cheap but I have no wheels to put under it

Have a word with Bailey trailers,I am sure they could make you what you want

Last grain trailer we bought was a Stewart that seemed a lot more trailer for the money than the Bailey at the time

Probably are but I have seen Bailey make one offs like your after and they are a good firm to deal with,by the way do keep us posted about the twist locks because that seems like a very good idea and could solve the problem with fitting a tank on a low loader a lot safer

A friend of mine researched this quite a bit to move his 360 around for forestry work and bought a Stewart the only regret he has was not getting the air suspension.

Is the 13000L tank plastic? Will it stick being moved on the road? Genuine question as I have had similar thoughts for a job here

Yes they are enduromax tanks on steel subframes specifically design for use in or on trailers as mobile browsers

They do various size 13000 is the biggest I think and you can get baffle balls to help keep them stable

Full range is on farm marketplace at good prices if your looking for one

Looks good. Have a beavertail trailer here but doesn’t lower fully to the floor and the ramps are pretty heavy for one person to handle.

Partly makes me wish I’d gone for hydraulic ramps rather than beavertail.

 

[eagleye]

Hydraulic beavertail lowers to let you drive teleporter on, then rises to give flat floor which we have used for bales, fertiliser etc as ordinary flat trailer. cubby boxes each side for straps etc
also little ramps which fit on tail if you want to drive landrover on, they stow in slots down the sides again.

Oh and for a more modest budget its available from Britains!!

People rate Staines trailers by all accounts.

Have a trailer ordered with hm and very pleased and reassured with there knowledge and attitude. Am sure they would listen to what you want and provide a positive solution.

 

[Clive]

The Kane look a great bit of kit - do they have a UK dealer network or deal direct ?

Try a lowloader on air as you could raise the airbags right up and have sprayer tank on demount legs let the air bags down, drive out one less lifting operation. Twist locks also would be a great addition.

Agri Linc worth a call wide range of trailers and great to deal with.
