MINI trailers

[dansskk]

A friend once told me that the thing that most improved his lap times at a track event was his trailer..... knowing that he didn't have to keep the car in one piece to drive it home let him hang it all out.

I tried fitting my GP onto a conventional car hauler trailer and it just didn't fit. The front end hit the ramps. The trailer was too long and heavy, etc.

So I designed and built my own little 12.5 ft. hydraulic tilt bed trailer with long telescoping ramps so that even a lowered MINI can drive right on up. I put 13" wheels and tires with low fenders so that the doors of the car could open easily when on the trailer, and built storage under the deck for straps, jacks, and even the spare tire.



Since then I've built 4 or 5 more for fellow MINI owners and in fact, the last time we went to the Bonneville Salt Falts every trailer I built was in the caravan there.



I just thought you guys might like to see them in case you're thinking about hauling your MINI, either behind a motorhome or your pickup truck or car.

They cost close to $6,000 with their own battery, hydraulic unit, straps, a spare, and hydraulic surge brakes so that any vehicle with a 2" ball can pull them....
