Irrigation "Pipe Hauler"
 |
The trailer rides on high quality, all terrain tires and is available in almost any color or length and with various hitch options. The model shown in the photo is designed to hold 40-ft. lengths of pipe. The trailer is built with a double tube frame, with a sq. tubing "skid tube" at the bottom in case the trailer bottoms out in rough terrain. Rubber mats on all contact surfaces protect the pipe from denting in rough terrain.
"It's a clean, neat trailer with an aerodynamic design," says Nathan. "It has a polyurethane paint job with epoxy primer, which is as hard as powder coating and results in a long lasting shine. The model shown in the photo has a ball hitch, with an adjuster to accommodate various heights of vehicles and tractors. The jack mounts on top of the tongue to keep it from being damaged by a tractor tire when making tight turns. The tire will just rub against the tongue without banging into the jack."
The trailer is fitted with adjustable height stake pockets. "The stakes can be set at 3 different levels of height, depending on how much pipe you're hauling. The stakes can also be pulled all the way out, allowing you to load and unload pipe without having to do a lot of lifting," says Nathan.
The model shown has a solid tube axle with stabilizer bars; a torsion axle is also available.
Price varies from $5,000 to $7,000 depending on options ordered.
