Super cool trailer for really heavy large logs! THANKS for sharing

That is the best video for homemade trailer that I've ever seen,!!! Great job

This is awesome, way less steel than I thought was required

Great place to stand you know if they start to roll your ass ain’t stopping it

I'm only 24 seconds into this video and I already know I have to have one. Jeez that's awesome.

jim here, I do a lot of this and your trailer is great. GOD BLESS

2:11 you could loop a chain over the end so it holds down the lighter end and forces the heavy end up. That way you don’t have to readjust.

Nice concept, huge work, little effort with your equipment Excellent!

Ive been thinking along these lines too. I cant believe how everyone thinks those trailers with the big swinging arm is the way to go. Im thinking of converting my tandem axle car hauler into a similar design.

Great video! I love the innovation. Thanks for sharing!

A lot of factors involved. Nice discussion below. Safety first. Elegant design.

Great idea.

So simple. Love it!

That's a good job well executed..

Very nice! Thank you for sharing!

Man i sure could use one of them, may have to build one very soon

I'm building one! Thanks! Good job.

Thats really cool!

I like the set up but another axle should be used for that kind of weight. Installing v type rails on bottom would keep the centre of gravity lower but i can see how it works. You from a LPG background? Don't worry about the negative types putting a opinion over on possible improvements is what you asked for, good job.

I like it. 30 years lifting logs. Cheers

Dude that is in genius you're a genius

Love this !

this is what i call uncommon sense , and its a great skill or intuition to have and its easy to pick up , or understand just open your eyes and see what reality actually is . now there are people with so called ( common sense ) and that might be a whole nother story , so for now lets just keep it real .

Am impressed

If the log slides forward, the winch will take the impact. A simple rail guard here would be beneficial.

Good rental idea.

Nice work

Great idea, I like it! I noticed in comments that you are using a swinging arch type trailer now. Why did you switch? What are the pros and cons? Thanks, great video!

does the trailer have springs ,if not how does it handle with that load. love the design

You got me in the first 5 seconds seeing i wouldn't have to drag so many logs, just lift and support. But i have a lot of hills and bumpy roads, have you had issues with the rails shifting or is there a locking mechanism somewhere that holds them in place?

How did the trailer track down the road.

whata back saver that would be,, where did ya find that trailer? would make haulin cedar heck of a lot easier ,,, thank ya fer the video,,, jist subbed

Great idea converting an propane tank hauler into a log transport. I'd seriously get another axle under there as the tank transports are only meant to carry fairly light (by comparison) empty tanks for placement at the site. You made me a little nervous stepping inside of that rig to adjust the chain. That there is gambling with your life.

That is a nice design. Did you build it?

I really like your video I liked it for you

Nice trailer. I'm not sure if I would consider that "no special equipment" though. Handling logs like that takes special equipment no matter how you slice that pie. I would recommend moving the winch up to the overhead beam and getting a wireless switch. It would eliminate the cable in the way on the front of the trailer and halve the force on the beam (roughly). Otherwise great idea and inspiration!

Chain snaps and does your arms putting in the cross supports..I would make them on a pivot and swing in from the side

We use a old propane trailer works great

Great trailer; did you build it or is one like it available to buy? If so , where can I buy one? Thanks, I just found your channel and I think it's a incredible resource of information!!

Good idea.

Nice design. I can't help but think that frame is gonna twist out or snap. Time will tell.

nice rig. did you build this? do you sell them? if so, how much do you charge.

He has a follow on video where shows the weak spot where the frame is damaged halfway between the wheels and the hitch. It’s a great idea but needs more structural support and wheels.

i like this

Does it have any suspension fitted, can’t see any system fitted?

What is the width/height/length of your trailer? I'm looking up the specs for legal limits now because I'm going to build one of those! Great job.

Nice

Nice design. Just was wondering about the no axle part, and what would the trailer axle/hub be rated. Or trailer weight capacity? Thanks

do you have issues with the back of the trailer coming inward were the cross support won't fit?

Airplane tires on the trailer?

Work smarter than harder. Nicely done.

I'd like one

Let’s be honest you surprised yourself as that thing lifted the log 😂

nice

where can I get one of these trailers?

Where did you buy your trailer from

Awesome, thanks for the demo. Have you considered welding some sort of guard for your winch? I was nervous when I saw that log slide forwards real fast when you picked up the back end...

So awesome. I love it

It's a cool trailer but it's a single purpose tool. At least with a utility trailer with a log Arch if you're not hauling log you still have a utility trailer

Did you build this yourself?

were do i get one :)

What brand of gantry crane?

I love this idea. I just can’t see how that single axle trailer is able to hold that load. I had a double axle that I loaded up with around 3500 lbs of logs and it bent up and popped all my tires lol. Love this though.

genius

Cool trailer. I know why there’s no tailgate on the pick up.

Do you have the engineering plans for sale to build the trailer?

I would love one of these ,.. where can I get one ???

1) How do you secure it, in particular, in the event of a frontal collision, what prevents it from travelling forward.? 2) What type of braking system do you have on the trailer, if any? 3)What type of brakes does it have, if any? I like the concept of it, it obviously works well.

Did it break yet ?

experience gentlemen, experience. I didn't see anything wrong with it. does anyone know where I can get a trailer like that? thanks

Your not gonna mill that yard log ate ya? Guts

Propane tank rig.

Dear Second Life: Perhaps you have Nine Lives and have a few to throw around, unfortunately most of us only have one and a fragile one at that. Your rig is very cool however watching you step inside the perimeter of the trailer frame to adjust the sling chain position made me wince. Had that log shifted at that moment you would have been pinned and sustained severe crush injuries which could have impacted you for the rest of your life; or worse. Hold your life and health a little more dear. As well the possibility of mechanical failure would again make me want to be very cautious around this or any heavy lift machine. Manually deployed outriggers would as well give you significant improvement of stability. Good luck! Great rig! Love the ingenuity and thanks for sharing.

Build n sell them

Nice design but how many times are logs sitting just right in someone’s driveway to back up to. This wouldn’t be for me.

I like the idea but at 3.50 mark on your video is the reason I think I'll pass on this design messing around under suspended loads is a huge no no for me maybe a reaching tool to hook into your cross member so you don't have to risk your life to a weld not snapping or a chain or hook failure winch malfunction sudden blown tire causing load to shift something like that doesn't even have to fall to seriously mess you up please be careful and come up with a solution to more safely load your logs

No way would l ever tow that on a public road. Good for on a farm, with some more thought to make it more safer to use, as l can pick so many deficiencies into the lack of safety aspects. Good luck with it. The basic concept is good, but lacking in safety, big time.

Cool build but I wouldn’t pay a dime for a product that makes me reach under the load. That’s how you lose limbs or even life.

Great idea.
