Not the trailer that you are talking about, but two of these just sold at auction near me for less than $300 each (bid price). I didn't bid on either one since I need another trailer like a hole in the head, but I thought that it would make a nice flatbed or stakeside if one wanted to do a little work...

Come to think of it, doesn't somebody on this site have a dump trailer/flatbed made from one of these??

Aw, c'mon Cabell, . . . that bolster trailer is the perfect "engineer company" companion for your M 817 . . .

 

[CGarbee]

Yeah, and now that the auction is over I keep thinking that the wheels look at lot like the ones on my five ton tag trailer (that will be hitched behind the M817 soon).
I am working on getting the big dump to haul the little dump up to Aberdeen so that they can meet your medium size dump so you'll get to see it pulling a trailer...

Seriously, I need to sell some 1/4 ton trailers (and a M3 before I haul too much more into the yard...

 

[BFR]

is that 4 ton rating off road?

Yes.

what did they use that type of trailor for

 

[BKubu]

Dave Olchak has a dual wheel trailer for sale. He is N3UKA on this list. His trailer formerly had a laundry unit mounted on it. The trailer is MINT. I am not sure what he wanted for it.

I have a trailer that formerly had a laundry unit mounted on it. I took the laundry unit off and
just use the trailer. 5Ton 4 wheels. It works great. To dump it i just unhook it and pick up the front with the crane. Would like the extra tongue for it. In the book I have it shows one. Now to find one.

 

[redass73]

Finally.. found a pic of the trailor i would like to find. its a comet model 345 says its a 10 ton 330 inches long 98 inches wide. anyone know of any out there.

A couple of these were in the DRMO yard at Ft. Riley Kansas a few months ago, I don't know if they will move over to GL or some state agency will get them, but you may want to keep an eye on the GL auctions.

There are/were some available at Dayton, but they come with the crane.

 

[deuceman51]

We have several of those bolster trailers in our motor pool at my guard unit. The tongue extends outward to lengthen the trailer. Then there are clamp on stakes you can put on the front and back to haul logs, lumber, etc. I'm not sure if they can haul a shelter or small conex or not as I haven't seen it done before. All in all they are pretty usefuly trailers.

We had a hooch built on ours, 8' x 12' x 7'. We used our other trailers a couple times to haul logs. Converting it to a dump trailer would be slick but other than that give me a std flat bed equipment hauler. If you ran tall tires you could put 9x20's or 11x20's for added height.

 

[ARMYMAN30YearsPlus]

I have one and the super single tires were each worth more than I paid for the whole trailer it came with all the bolsters and binders in the tool bin. I have had it loaded with about 9 tons of oak logs behind the duece and hauled them to the sawyer. It is a really nicely built trailer and though designed for 5ton trucks it hauls really nicely behind the duece.
