You are looking at a Quality factory built Goose Neck Equipment trailer built by Interstate Trailer Mfg. It is a HEAVY DUTY Equipment hauling trailer. The attention to detail on this trailer is incredible! You will not you will see this type of quality on many trailers out there. This one is the "real deal", if you are tired of buying under built junk trailers that end up costing you time and money, read on:
(Note, I have several links to pictures of details of the trailer below)
As many of you know, or have heard, a goose neck trailer will carry, ride smoother and pull much better than a "bumper pull" type trailer. Common sense tells you hanging this much weight on your back bumper is not a stable as putting the weight in the center of your bed!
Frame:
Both the Goose neck tongue and frame of this equipment mover is constructed
of Structural six inch channel Iron, (8" on the heaveier 14,000 and 15,000#
models) with 3 inch channel iron
cross members, EVERY 16 inches under the deck
Under the rear dove tail section the manufacture has welded two
channels right under the decking, right
where the tires will roll, for added support. Can you say HEAVY DUTY!
Decking:
The deck measures approximately 81" wide between the fenders, (the
trailer is 102" over all width) and 16' long from the front
bumper rail to the point on the deck where the dove tail starts. From
there, is has another 30" (2 1/2 feet) of downward slope "dove tail" which
lowers the rear of the trailer another 6 inches, and at 30 inches long,
makes for a easy approach angle for driving up on the deck! . The deck
is constructed of top quality 2" pressure treated lumber, screwed down
with oversize 5/16" machine threaded torx drive deck screws.
Features:
It has 1/8"
thick DIAMOND PLATE fenders, (not those cheap stamped fenders, and
even thicker than other peoples "heavy duty" 14 or 12 ga. fenders) You
can walk all over these fenders! It
has TWO 12,000 pound capacity, drop leg jack landing gear. It
also has 4 heavy duty
D rings welded at each corner for more load tie down options.
Hitch:
The hitch
on this trailer is a Goose neck type, with adjustable height, and a
2 -5/16 ball It has two HEAVY 3/8" plated safety chains with
forged lock hasp hooks, BOLTED to the neck (not welded).
Running gear:
The running gear on this trailer actually consist of two DEXTER
easy lube axles. Be confident that this trailer is over built! It has
Dexter "E-Z Lube"
hubs with
8 bolt, 16" wheels, and Heavy duty 12 inch electric brakes on all wheels.
The tires are Load range E, 10 Ply Radial LT 235 85 R 16 tires. The axles
carry a limited lifetime warranty.
Brakes:
It is equipped with heavy duty, large 12" electric drum brakes
on all 4 wheels, and has a emergency Wet
Cell Battery with a pull pin type break away switch which will activate
the brakes in the event the trailer comes un-coupled from the truck.
Tires:
It is equipped with new Radial tires, 15 inch Carlisle LT235-85R16
Radial load range D trailer tires with 6 hole wheels on the 5200# axles,
and LT235/85R16 radails on the 7,000# axles. The tires carry
a 10 ply rating, load range E, and are mounted on 16 x 7, 8
hole White Modular Style Powder Coated wheels.
Ramps:
To allow rolling equipment to be loaded, the trailer has two five foot
long ramps that fold up at the rear of the trailer. The ramps
are constructed of 4 inch channel iron, with 3 inch angle "rungs", and
at five feet long, make for a gradual slope to drive up on! And with
the pull of hitch pin, the ramps can be removed completely.
Paint and finish:
This trailer first prepped with ACID ETCHING to clean the steel, then
is primed and finished coated with high gloss acrylic enamel Black paint,
applied BEFORE the deck is installed. That's right, it is primed and painted
underneath, on top, and even where the wood deck is screwed to the frame.
With DOT reflective tape applied down each side it looks sharp, and glows
in the dark!
Electrical:
Are you tired of hooking up to a trailer, then checks the lights only
to discover one in not working?? The wiring and lights installed on this
trailer are of top quality! The front vehicle plug is a "7 way RV
type plug" and is of the sealed type, and is permanently bonded to the
one piece Rubber jacketed cord. All connections are made inside a steel
junction box. All wiring is ran inside steel conduit, with all
wire is sealed with silicone sealer at any point where it enters or
exits the conduit, frame, or lights. ALL lights are the sealed "plug in"
type with o ring seals on the plug connectors. ALL of the lights are of
the sealed type and are completely submersible.
All plug connectors are the rubber grommet type for corrosion resistance!
The attention to detail on the electrical system is incredible, and should
give you years of trouble free service!
Warranty:
The welds and construction of this trailer carry a full three year
warranty. The Dexter axles carry a 5 year warranty, so long as properly
lubricated, with a lifetime rust through warranty. The tires are warranted
buy the tire manufacture (Carlisle). In addiation un-like almost every
