More Info

The Flat Top trailer can be built with traditional tie-down side rails, or if you prefer, side panels that give the trailer a clean stylish look. The front of the bed features a support frame to assist with locating and securing loads. The design also includes handy features like tie-down hooks, double safety chains and chequer plate bed. The assembly guide will assist you in the construction and give you lots of guidance on brakes, axles, suspension and other components.
