New Harbor Freight offering

[QueticoBill]

This might be interesting option for some. A little more weight but 5x10, 23" tires, and other apparent improvements.

Zooming in on the hi rez pics, it looks like the accessory railing is uni-strut. Except for the tongue, the frame looks to be doubled up uni-strut.

I can't tell. Just thought the 13" tires, 10' length, and protected wiring made it a better option than previous offerings.

Wonder if brakes can be added.

Only just noticed the existence of this new model - I think this might be what I end up going with for the idea that's been running around in my head for entirely too long. I'm surprised there isn't more talk about it on here!

There seems to be a lot of hesitation here regarding this frame. It seems most people would prefer to weld their own frame. That's not feasible for some though. Some people are skeptical of the unistrut style construction. Having worked with the stuff myself for many purposes, I think it's a great solution. My only hesitation would be regarding axle placement. Moving the axle would require custom brackets made that allow you to bolt it to a different location. I'm sure, that, given enough time, somebody will come up with a solution though.


It would be a fantastic option for folks who can't weld.

I looked at it on HF website and noticed high rails are an accessory. I kind of like the "truss" frame. Feels much stronger than the traditional HF/NT utility trailers. From the manual it does look very unistrut like. Underslung axle is nice. It doesn't look like it's ready to add brakes so is that an axle replacement?

If that wheel has only 4 lug nuts (It looks like 4, but I can't tell for certain from the picture.) then, no, it is not ready for the addition of brakes and yes, you would need a different axle if you want to add brakes.

Manual says 5 and pictures in manual seem to confirm it.
