What to do?
Now that the Ranger pickup has gone back off lease, I have an occasional
use
for a small utility trailer.
Here's what I'm looking at right now...
Lifetime fold-up 4' x 6' model capable of carrying 1000 lbs. Canadian
Tire
has them on sale next week at $800.00 CDN.
pros...small & light...very easy to store on small city lot. deck made of
galvanized corrugated steel
cons... way more moving parts to sieze & rust...light duty.. inside
dimensions just a hair too small for laying 4' wide sheets flat,
frame is powder coated steel

DuraTrail 52" x 100" galvanized Econo Utility with landscape ramp
pros..can easily carry full sheets of plywood, gyproc etc
hot dipped galvanized for long lasting in our salt air climate/ winter
road
salt
can carry approx 1700 lbs
cons.. 2.5 times the cost.....$1900.00 down here (only $1500.00 in
Ontario
where they are built)
might be a bit awkward to move around & store on a small lot

Oh man - I just sold one for $200 - Snowbear made in Ontario - I never
used the dang thing so I just sold it to the first guy to give me $200
for it.

D'oh!
Those things are everywhere up here...at every building supply store,
Wally-Mart etc.
The utility model is around a grand, brand new...but considered light duty
and they rattle a lot.
Anyway..that $200.00 would turn into at least $600.00 due to exchange and
that $240.00 flat fee to process out of country vehicles... yes, same flat
rate for trailers & Cadillacs .
