5x8 Open Trailer
Made by Carry-On Trailer Corp; GVWR = 2000lb; Mesh Floor with Ramp.
I purchased this trailer last August while on vacation in Rockingham, NC, to haul a new motorcycle home to central OH. I found it needed a few things, so I added:
1. 4' x 8' x 1/2" sheet of treated plywood for a floor. The plywood was coated on all sides with three (3) coats of oil-based outdoor stain in black. This addition greatly strengthened the trailer.
2. Sections of alumnum diamond plate (overall dimensions are 3 ft x 8 ft)
3. Chrome Pintel-style wheel chock. The chrome is starting to rust at the welds.
4. Four (4) industrial grade lifting lugs. These are not cheap eye bolts, and they are rated at 6000lbs each. They make great tie down points and are located in the corners.
5. New, never used spare tire and wheel.
Trailer is as new with the exception of some road rash (a few chips) on the leading side of the fenders. All lights work. Trailer has never been damaged. It was only used twice. The first time was from Rockingham, NC to home. The second time was to and from Biketoberfest last year. Tows great! It is located in Newark, OH, but I travel frequently, so delivery is possible for a small fee. I often travel to the Detroit, MI area. I just upgraded to an enclosed trailer, so this one needs to go. Price is $700 OBO, which is less than one without the extras from Lowe's or Home Depot. Pics are attached. Thanks.
