Reply To: Trailer Yard Trailer

Hi
I had the same problem, but as I had to move my boat alone, I thought that 6 meters beams would be too heavy. On an other hand, as I wanted too a very low trailer, I found difficult to find small wheels able to support such a weight .So I made four slids ( skates?) with H beams (50 cm long, 14 cm wide), each one with 4 wheels (20 cm diameter) each wheel beeing able to support 200 Kg. It's a total of 16 wheels ( cheap : around 10 euros each), each pair able to turn left or right, so you can, slowly, turn the boat. I put a slid at each end of the keels, the keel entering in the H of the beam. It's probably not an universal solution, but for me, it's works.
I found wheels on a french site, ( Manutan ) specialized in industrial goods, but I am sure you can find the same in GB. I had a look on the Radiospares site, and they have all sort of wheels you need.

The slids look like that :
