I use a 6 x 12 "TILT" utility trailer. At my request, the bed was made of expanded metal vs. wood and I don't have a rear ramp or rack, it's lighter this way. It was manufactured for me by Anderson Trailers in Ga. http://andersontrailers.com/ I've had it for over a year and I've towed my :spyder2: to several events in different states, hundreds of miles away. The tilt capability makes it very easy to load, and I don't have to have a ramp, or ramps with it, (so there is less air drag) just strap the bike down. I am very happy with it. I will load pictures if I can figure out how to do it.

You can send me pics e-mail ([email protected]) BTW We are comming down your way Jan 2012 to Homosassa. Maybe stop by to see it.

It sure does NOT, Richie. I had two jacks (for lack of a better term) installed at the front end of the trailer to raise the front end. I'm not sure if the picture went through when I posted, but if it did, you'll see two hand cranks on each side that are used to jack the front end up. That will make the trailer gate angle accomodate loading the spyder. Truth be known I've only had to use those jacks on a couple of ocassions. Usually it loads without having to use those.

My spyder,s nose hits the gate almost right away.How high do the jacks lift the front up,and how do you jack it when hooked to car trailer hitch?,are jacks made special or can I buy a set? Like to see pic with trailer jacked up.

Here's what I'd suggest for a temporary solution. I'll answer your question later. Get you a 2 X 4 or 2 X 6 the length of which is as long as the width of your trailer gate. Place it under the gate to raise it up, and see if that solves your problem.

I found that you can crank your trailer jack up while attached to the car. All you need is an inch or two. As for the jacks that I have on my trailer (the two that I talked about), they were installed or welded on to my trailer when it was built.

Hope this helps.

I have a dove tail and my:spyder:hit the ramp. All I had to do was to place a 2x6x4' long board under each front wheel about mid way up the ramp, so that the wheels go up the wooden boards first and it lifted it up enough for the :spyder:to go right up.:2thumbs:
