I didn't get a ramp door because i wanted the extra space and on my previous trailer i would trip on them dam cables every day 4-times a day. It also was a maintenance nightmare as they would always crap out and door would be heavy to lift without the counter balance of the springs. Plus i can get in tighter spots now. I have a trick to get my saw table saw out of the trailer and it works very well.

I can also drive equipment inside of it as well.

Concrete buggy goes right up the ramp and in.

You will trip on the cables if you take the short cut out the back!!

I use a 6x12 V tandem 82" high inside. Everything I do is inside work and one of the biggest killers for me is going back out for that one tool.
Now i Kit everything I need in systainers. Plumbing, Elect, Paint, Drywall, laminate....... same thing with tools each kit has its own set even if that means that I have 2 or 3 of one tool.

I shot a video at my job site with my new flip video recorder. it kind of sucks but it shows the trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEM2aVLjbok

Thanks Craig

Hello all,

I recently updated my trailer and I got a lot of ideas from this thread. Here is a list:
1. 120v electrical, Halogen light, outlet bar, mounted the microwave and added a heater to keep the air tools above 40 degrees.

2. dividers for framing/coil nailers. there is much more space now.

3. Line-x on the ramp. Cost $250, I think it was worth it.

4. Cleaned it after a year of use, this was the biggest improvement
