Description
The ULTIMATE Toy Hauler!
We had this trailer custom built to be able to accommodate our collection of antique fire trucks. Our goal was to be able to transport safely (and enclosed) either our 1924 American LaFrance Type 12 (approx 10,000 lbs.) or our 1930 Ahrens-Fox model J (approx 12,000 lbs.) Perhaps you could add a lift to go racing or haul your muscle cars or even your antique tractor. The options of how you can use it are endless!
To ease loading and unloading, we had a ramp style door built the full height of the rear of the trailer, giving us a long gentle slope. A separate winch lowers and closes this extra heavy duty door. A double thickness of Ύ inch plywood floor allows the weight of the fire engines to be distributed along the trailer frame.
3 - 8,000 lb axles (with electric brakes) carry the weight of the loaded trailer. A 9,000 lb winch is located in the nose of the cargo space to winch the truck into the trailer. 10 5,000 lb D-rings make tying down the load convenient.
Because of my work schedule, I would sometimes leave late in the afternoon to get to our destination. This precipitated having living quarters built into the nose of the trailer so we could pull off into a truck/rest stop for the evening. The approx 20 living quarters are fully self contained including a propane electrical generator, stand-up shower and kitchen with microwave, stove etc. With nearly 9 ceiling height, the living area seems very spacious. We have approximately $50,000 invested in this trailer.
The trailer can be purchased with our 2002 freightliner FL 70 business class semi-tractor to effortlessly pull the trailer down the road. We have driven to Hershey PA from our home in Port Huron, Michigan and as far away as Denver CO effortlessly, and comfortably.
If you have further questions or would like to arrange to see the trailer, go to www.ernestcamera.com and click on trailer. You may also call me: Terry Ernest, 810-987-2854 during business hours.
