Reply to: The use of tilt trailers

[quote=coolhead]Edchris, I have never pulled one but being in the truck trailer design business I will give you my thoughts. If the trailer is properly designed, the cat should be transversely centered on the trailer once raised. If that's the case, the weight transfer is equal on each side. Having one hull higher than the other doesn't affect the transverse or longitudinal weight distribution. Having the cat centered when raised implies it is off center when lowered and some trailer needs stabilizers to not tip on one side. Once raised, the center of gravity is pretty high so I would tend to think that you have to be careful when cornering. the ability to corner is affected by the caractheristics of the suspension. Those I have seen were storing the mast pretty much the same manner as with narrower cat. The front support is higher though. Hope this help,<!-- editby --><em>Edited by coolhead on Nov 08, 2013 - 06:53 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
