Wanted: Small Enclosed Trailer


I'm looking for a small enclosed trailer 4X6, 5x8, or somewhere in between. Preferrable less then 1000lb empty. I'll take something that needs some tlc aslong as it has paperwork so I can register it. I'll pick up from NY, NJ, CT, or PA as long as it is road worthy and I can make the trip in oneday. thanks-Jon

Have him drive to you then buy a sawz all and shorten it up. Throw some plywood on top and it's enclosed Just kidding.

I don't read this crap, half the time I just reply to the titles without reading the posts. This was an instance where I did that.

Re: Wanted: Small Enclosed Trailer


ch0mpie
I'm sure it's out of your zone here, but I just drove by a little box for sale down the road
I noticed it because it was small
There's no way it's over 1K empty, no way
I stopped to check the GVW (max full lbs) and it was 2.5K

I didn't measure it, but I'd say it was prolly 4 x 6

It was $750
I'd grab it but it's not in the budget right now

It's got a little surface rust (anything here does lol), but is def. road-worthy

I thought I'd mention it in case you've got fam or buds in the eastern MA that could pick it up and bring it down-never know

If you want I'll take pics and/or get you the #

...oh, you'll prolly want to scrape the Handyman Club Of America sticker on the back

If he'll saw the price, I'd be willing to go for that

Slick, how far out on the cape is it. My old roomate lives in Danbury outside Boston. He doesn't have a truck to haul it but I could drive up on a fri or sat, stay with him, then go home on sun?

Figured it was too far
Just a weird coincidence that I just saw it, and then your post
Figured I'd let you know
