I've got a camo one on the classifieds. I have more pics I can send of the tires or bed or anything you need. It's right outside. If you can be more specific, I'll get you want you want or need. These are fantastic trailers and pull real nice. I love em.
Here is a couple of pics for ya, but can get you more.

Was looking at your A3 would love to buy it but I am afraid you are a tad too far for me to get it. Which sucks as I really want an A3 to compliment my A1, the extra width would be perfect.

just found out my M116A3 has an RFID tag on it. I don't think it was transmitting, but is battery operated. I guess those folks at Camp Lejune might know where their trailer is now. First I've seen of one of these. It's marked "Echo Point ST 654-001".

Anyone else ever find an RFID transmitter strapped on their trailers?

Pictures? Of course... I should have known that.

Here ya go!

My knife in the forefront is about 4", and the RFID transmitter is about 6" long. It's a bit of an illusion on sizing.

I pulled the 3.6vdc lithium battery out so NCIS could not find me.rofl

Here's a little info on the RFID unit that you have. So unless NCIS is camping out on your door step, they ain't got a clue where the trailer was. Now they do. [thumbzup]

"The SaviTagST-654 high performance tag is a data-rich active RFID tag suited for various applications including tracking of shipping containers, vehicles, and other large assets. Available with 128K of programmable memory, the SaviTagsupports a broad range of applications, in multiple system configurations. Fully compatible with fixed and hand-held Savi Reader products, the ST-654 tag features up to 300 feet of omni-directional line-of-sight range, and a typical battery life of five years using lithium cells. SaviTagST-654 is also certified as safe for operation with live ordnance."

And the receiver unit.

OK, got it. I guess it is just a logistics thing then when the trailer arrives or leaves specific supply depots or locations. Thanks.

I use a couple of large chain links, the type that screw open and closed on my hitch chain loops and the chains just reach and hook onto those. works great and allows me to chain the trailer for safety. I can post pic when I get home, I have to hook up to haul a load to the dump tomorrow.

I do the same thing. They are 1/2" Threaded Quick Link Chain Links

What is the verticle and horizontal weight capacity of those threaded links. If it breaks loose, you will feel maximum shock on it, and I would think the initial impact will likely be much greater than the horizontal weight capacity. There will be a lot of bumping until you come to a full stop.

edit; Come to think of it, 1/2" is pretty big for a trailer. It might be a little risky on pulling a deuce. I guess that is what I was thinking about.

I just got one buried in junk in a trailer. It has a shipping label on it from Bagram AFG. Maybe ill put it on a truck or something.

That AFG is probably AFB. Bagram AFB is in Afghanistan, I spent some time there way back when. Maybe your trailer was there with me.

It could of been, it does say AFG, I was wonder why it doesn't say AFB? Whatever it was on has a weight of 10620 lbs was 1069 cu ft. and was sent to the 455th eaps c/o ATO. Sounds like the HEMAT that it was in that has Afgan. shipping labels on it...........
