Powerstarâ„¢ Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Number 1 has rolled out of the workshop! Another 2 to go I don't class myself as a top model maker/builder so don't expect top notch stuff!! This trailer is a copy of a few trailers that a contractor runs not far from here. He builds them himself and bases them on Stewart trailers. His in particular are 14 tonners, but this one is a 16 Based on Siku's Krampe Kipper TW 800 trailer, with a few extras, like meshed top at front. rear beacon, one less axle & mud gaurds. I've still got a few things to add on, I would like a ladder on the front, detailed lights at the back, and commercial rubber mud flaps at the rear.

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 A contractor called Eddie Staines (Clovelly Contractors) did make them, and there are 2 contractors around here running them. Although I don't think they've made any for a good year or so now. We have one of their buckrakes at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
