Stock Trailer Build

I-R-POPS · Jun 25, 2018

I got more time than money so I'm building a Stock Trailer. Some might be interested.

I drew up a rough sketch of what I have in mind in my plasmacam program. Bought a 8000lb single axle with electric brakes and some tubing and got the frame started Saturday.

Thanks guys. Yesterday and today I've been working on the upper structure. I built a 24' tandem axle stock trailer using this same design 20+ years ago that I still use but it's really big when you just need to haul a few cows around.

Here's a few pics of the progress. Sorry about the side ways pics. I'm a little rusty at this posting thing obviously.

Is the single axle going to be strong enough? I know some of those heifers get pretty heavy!

It's a 8000 lb axle. It will be fine for a 14 foot trailer.

progress....

Last couple of days of cutting and welding.

I had to work on the swamp cooler a little today..Its been over 100 degrees here for the last week. Good to go after a new pump and fresh pads.

Ready to start the sheeting next week.
