Title: Car trailer features you like?
Post by: EDNY on May 25, 2016, 11:46:47 PM: I have an 18' hydraulic tilt bed car trailer that I putting a new steel deck on. Making a few changes with D-Ring placements and lighting configuration.

Any features you like in a car hauler? For example I want to make a removable motorcycle chock and anchor points in case I ever need to move a motorcycle...any other suggestions?

Thanks

I borrowed a car trailer from a friend and it had one feature that helped with my car, The fenders were hinged and you could fold them down for more clearance to open the door.

ED,

I've seen that before, I know I hauled cars on trailers and had problem getting in and out of them when loaded.

Should have mentioned that I have made that conversion with each of my trailers and planned to do that with this trailer also. Already removed the fenders and welded in full tire wells for the conversion. Moved enough Corvettes and climbed out the windows ;D

Made my mind up and will fabricate a flush mount motorcycle chock so I can just pull it up from the floor when needed.

I'll try to find some pics from my last conversion...just "unwelded" the fenders that were on this current trailer and need to install the new deck before converting the fenders.
