M116A3 and a 15KW genset

[Coley]

I have a M116A3 trailer I sold a mep 802A off of, and my dad just bought a 15KW gen (MEP 804A I think). Gen weight is just over 2k and data plate on trailer says max load is little over 3K. Anyone ever try and mount a bigger genset on one of these?

You should be fine. I haven't hauled one of those, but I've hauled a multifuel in half of a can and it handled it like a champ. I bet that was more than 2klbs. I love the A3 version of these trailers.

Appreciate the reply. I am hoping some of the mount holes line up!

I would watch for weight balance over holes lining up. If you don't have enough tongue weight it might flip backward taking off the hitch.

Roger that. I'll be using that rear landing gear leg till I get balance dialed in.
