7 x 16 Wood Deck Equipment Trailer
Lots of Equipment, like Most Bobcats, and many smaller tractors weigh right around 5000# . This is the limit for a normal "car trailer" but a 10,000# trailer is really overkill. This trailer is truly rated to carry over 6000 pounds (3 tons) on the deck. It has a heavy duty 5" channel frame, heavy fold down ramps, and oversize tires (normally the "weak link"). It has a gross weight rating of  7750 pounds.
Frame:
Both the  tongue and frame of this equipment mover is constructed of Structural 5 inch channel Iron,  with angle iron cross members, every 24" inches under the deck  The tongue of this trailer is of the "full wrap" type, with the tongue extending all the way to the forward spring mount, for greatly improved stiffness.  The rear 2 feet is bent down at a 15 degree angle Dove tail for easy loading.
Decking:
The deck measures approximately 82" wide between the fenders, (the trailer is 102" over all width) and 14' long from the front bumper rail to the point on the deck where the dove tail starts. From there, is has another 24"  of downward slope "dove tail" which lowers the rear of the trailer, and at 24 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  5/16" machine threaded torx drive deck screws.
Features:
  It has DIAMOND PLATE fenders, (not those cheap stamped fenders)  You can walk all over these fenders! It has a 5,000 pound capacity jack that is "set Back" in the A frame to allow the truck tail gate to be lowered.  Down both sides are stake pockets spaced approximately 2 feet apart down each side. It also has 4 heavy duty D rings welded at each corner for more load tie down options.

The hitch on this trailer is a 2 -5/16 ball, Bull Dog coupler.  It has two 5/16"  plated safety chains with hooks. The jack is Set back away from the hitch to allow the tail gate on the truck to be lowered while the trailer is hooked up.

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 3 inch channel iron, with 2 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.

This trailer first prepped clean the steel, then is primed and finished coated with high gloss acrylic enamel Black paint. The underside of the trailer is fully covered with rubberized undercoating, along with the inside of the fenders. With DOT reflective tape applied down each side it looks sharp, and glows in the dark!
