heavy haul trailer plans

[lvfd221]

Hi Guys, I want to build a heavy haul trailer for my truck fleet. Anyone have a set of plans in 1/24 that they would be will to share with me or a good site that I can find plans with measurements. 

Thanks

try google, if you search as normal then click images it brings up loads of styles

Maybe I should have put this in the wanted section. I know I can google all the styles. I just thought that one of the purposes of this forum was for fellow modelers to help each other out and share info. If this needs to be moved or removed please do so.

Thanks for any help.

FWIW I'm pretty sure Les was trying to help you out.  I googled heavy haul trailer and came up with the link above.  

I just searched for "heavy haul trailer schematic diagram".  

You may get lucky and find someone who has one laying around but that could take a while.

Car Modeler Magazine published some drawing and articles about 25-30 years ago in the Truckers Corner (or something close to that) about using the AMT Great Dane Flatbed to build a Heavy Haul trailer. I Think, that is what it was. But it's been 10-15 years since I looked at the issues, so I may have most of the details wrong.

Revell used to make some kind of Heavy Load Trailer, too. Again, I don't remember details.

Sorry I cannot be more specific. You might try posting this same question over on the "Spotlight Hobbies" Forum, and see what somebody there might know.

I would ask in the Model questions and answers section near the top of the forum…

I find the question a bit too open.
First of all, heavy haulage equipment differs vastly depending on which part of the world it is operated in.
Secondly, even within their geographical realm, they differ vastly depending on the purpose, or rather, the load that is being transported.
Thirdly, they also differ vastly depending on the era you would like to depict.

Could you please be a bit more specific about these things, also whether it's supposed to be moved by a ballast tractor, two ballast tractors, semi, what type and weight of load, etc?

Thanks for all the input.

Alan. I have those magazines in my collection, was hoping for something more detailed. I will try to post on that sight too.

Christian, thanks for asking, I was thinking of a lowboy with jeep and one or two tags. to be pulled by a semi. I would not be against building one for a ballast tractor if I hade good plans.

Thanks again for the input.
