Hessel Hemstra Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I have plans to develop a bottom dump trailer. But living in Europe I cannot measure one out to have it accurate. Is there anyone who can help me with this. On the website of Hayworth equipment (Acheson, Alberta, Canada) is a nice side drawing of Loadline cross gate trailer I think would be a nice trailer. I have contacted them but they said they did not have any other info. A front photo would help some but a drawing in that kind would really be welcome. Hope someone can help, thanks.

Petetrucker07 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Are you lookin for doubles or a single? Here are a few manufacturers here the U.S. Superior Trailer works Mac Trailer Beall Ace Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hessel Hemstra Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 I have seen their websites. I'm looking for a single one. Three axle preferred. Cross gate are clamp is an issue that is no that important. We want to try and make a kit of it in scale 1:24/25. thanks, Hessel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) I know Beall makes what your looking for. I'm sure you've already Googled pics. But here are some anyway. I forgot about Ranco and TrailKing. Here's the other style bottoms. Edited June 25, 2015 by Petetrucker07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hessel Hemstra Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks for that. As you noticed I already have downloaded a lot of pics. Plans are to make one like the one in the last pic. Maybe a trailing like in the first. This depends on the info I can find. Hessel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Right! Netherlands, Dutch, got it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hessel Hemstra Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thanks anyway. I noticed the manufacturers do not supply info easy. I will never use info commercial. Also I will have to compromise in making the model to get it right. I hope someone else will lend a hand.... Hessel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Here is a photo of my high detailed model 1/64 trailer. It is made by Diecast Promotions. Maybe you can get one of these and scale it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
