Enclosed Car trailer

Postby thornz » Mon Jul 02, 2012 3:36 pm

Has anyone made for themselves a enclosed car transporter trailer?
Guy at work is looking to build one for his super stock speedway car and has asked if I'd be able to help draft up some plans for him. Thought I'd ask around first to see if anyone had CAD plans lying round for something similar which I could modify.

He is looking for one around 7.5m long including draw bar, 2.5m wide, and around 2.4m high.

Anyone got anything that may assist? Have seen plans for sale on the net, but thought I'd try my luck here first.

what sort of dimensions are you looking at? I've always entertained the idea of something like a nissan atlas or similar small truck.

They have 3m by 1.7m trays or something... and can be picked up for around 6k. This would save me having to buy a tow car on top.
