Well... let's
see here, four machines weighing over 4000lbs. total, gas, tools, tires, generator,
extra weights and two cool-down units. The weight really started to add
up, so we needed a trailer that was light and strong. Since I
(Chuck Chapel) work for Loadmaster Trailers, I asked my boss if I could
build a custom trailer. He said yes! We thank him a
lot! Being so busy at work, we had to build it in Jim's garage.
