Big trailer

Anyone interested in a big trailer?

load bed 14'8" x 6'8" (from memory, but easy enough to check), bed lowers to
floor at back to load, pump it up again by a hydraulic pump which is not
original but does work. It's big enough to carry a 110 or a disco, and the
pump will lift that weight, albeit not easily. When I bought it, they
wanted an extra 500 quid for one with the genuine hydraulic set on it, so I
assume they're rare. What this one has is a clarke pump from their body
press kit.

Made by Hara, in Gallo, Sweden, ex-NATO, I think. It's on 4x185R14 van
tyres, huge ground clearance. Tows on a NATO hitch, at the lower height -
same height as the 110 crossmember. Overall it's wide, same width as an
artic trailer, by about 18' long. unladen weight is slightly over a tonne,
military loading is rated at 2500Kg gross, although it shows no signs of
problems carrying 2t of disco or 110.

Would go beautifully behind a 101...

All brakes etc. work AFAIK, tyres nearly new. Civvy-type light plug fitted.

Also available, NATO hitch and an adapter to fit same to a disco sliding
hitch mount, provided the latter has 4 holes at 2" spacing. This would also
fit a defender sliding hitch with the same proviso about hole spacing.

Why am I selling it? It's going to be too much hassle making a hitch
adapter to tow it behind the minibus, and I'm selling the disco. Also, the
minibus is only rated to tow 1500Kg, although I'm sure it'd tow a lot more
in practice, whereas the disco is rated to tow 3500Kg. I'm thinking about
making a lighter trailer of similar size to replace it, probably without the
tilt/drop bed.

Cost me 750 +vat to buy without hydraulics. Make me an offer...

Although I think a hefty trailer would come in handy, I just don't have
anywhere to keep one, plus I don't have a NATO hitch.

Also not sure the 101 would get out of low first with the weight of the
Disco on the back as well - it'd probably come in around 7 tonnes
combined!

disco plus trailer is about 3 tons...

I can sell you a NATO hitch to go with it You need a suitable drop
plate for a 101, though.

Its a bit big for what Bruce wants actually, but if anyone has a twin axle
trailer 10ft long x 5ft wide, he'd be interested.

I'll mention it to him. There is a bloke not far from here where we got the
chassis for the last trailer he could go and see. Has thought about adding
another axle to the one he's got and extending it. Its just a bit too high
and Bruce really wants something that is easier to load motorbikes/quads on
to.

well, I custom build 'em any shape and size you want, provided it's
practical to do so.
