    Default Are you getting Beaver tail trailers to haul your Spyders?

    When you get an enclosed trailer like a 12 or 14 footer, are you getting a beaver tail trailer?? Thanks

    You want the flop down ramp on an enclosed trailer. Not barn doors!

    Just a drop down will do the trick, unless you want to build or buy ramps. If the trailers high off the ground you will have to come up with a way to lessen the ramp angle, so you don't drag over the hinge area. That can be done with extended ramps or a high lift jack to get the nose of the trailer in the air. Where there's a will there's a way to solve that issue.

    Mickey is 100% correct.
    Also put some anti skid on the ramp for wet days, that wood gets slick.
    Make sure you have the clearance in the width also.

    When I bought my trailer, I got it with the drop-down rear door that becomes a ramp. I added a transition flap that softens the change from ground to ramp. It is hinged so it lays against the ramp when folded up... My trailer is 7ft wide.
