An M796 Bolster for my 5-ton....

[Jayco36REQS]

So I added a 7X14' deck on my Bolster trailer to haul behind my M923A1..... It pulls great! I set it up to be able to remove it easily if I want to haul logs, pipe, or anything longer. Next mod will be adding a 12k winch on the nose of the trailer, and rollers on the tail to pull the bed on.

I have a 14 foot dropside bed sitting on mine right now. It is handy for storing or hauling stuff. I'll be posting a new project involving the bolster starting tomorrow.

Very nice. What is the bed from?

I built the bed out of pressure treated lumber and 3/4" plywood.... then coated it in an epoxy resin paint like non-skid on a flightdeck for a nice no-slip surface.

Nice...I really need a dump trailer wonder how a bolster trailer would work...

Your picture inspired me.

I need one of those trailer, i would built a steel deck 16'. If i could get a bolster trailer at the rally i can pay Roy with diesel fuel to put one trailer on top of the other one.

Jeremy, Come on back to SWbradley's. I made a dump bed 353 trailer using a m105 bed. I doubt I'll use it.

For loading sleds of material onto flat bed winch trucks in the oil field, they use a tail roller on the bed edge and behind it they put a removable cable wheel mounted on a piece of square tube fitting into a square hole in the bed and then run the cable on top of the helper pulley so you are pinching the bed when you try to pull it up and then over the rollers. the height of the pulley lifts up on the sled as well as forward at the same time. the picture uses the pulley stick as a pull down which is opposite of your use to pull up on the bed load.

Thanks.... It was a couple hrs of tinkering with wood.. but it will fit the bill until I can make one out of steel....

I need to check out this SWbradley's place... it sounds wonderful there with lots of green iron! "Is this heaven? No, its Ohio"

Well the place in Ohio is nice. Walking/MV test track complete with water hazards and 9 acres of soybeans.

Plenty of parking, especially on top of where the old POS rental house was sitting.
