powderbrake Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The low hauler is a great solution for taking your seven, and having security and a dry car when you arrive. I also have a 7 X 14 twin axle with electric brakes, but I have the tall one. I needed a trailer in a hurry, and couldn't get a low hauler in time, so I took the tall one. I can stand up in it, so no bumps on my head, unless you count going out the side door. The 7 X 14 gives a couple feet in front for tools, gas cans, jack etc. I have a tip for the sevens user with a ramp door trailer. Go to Wal Mart and buy a set of plastic ramps. ( I cut the bump off the tops of the ramps.) They prevent the car from scraping the bottom when the wheels are on the trailer floor and on the ramp.They fit under your ramp door, and store nicely under the rear of the seven when it is loaded. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1876913029_IMGP4887.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjslutz Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Jerry, I also did the wood ramps for my ramp gate. I'll go to the China outlet and see if they have the Plastic ramps in Ohio. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost7018 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Powerbrake I am trying to understand where you put the ramps when loading??????? Do you have a detail? Is the door like a bridge with the trailer on one side and Wally's ramps on the other side? Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderbrake Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I place the ramps under the rear of the door. I cut off the bumps from the top of the ramps( which are there to keep you from driving off them) because the would dent the rear of the door. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/960614417_Ramps.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost7018 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thanks, That is what I thought. But I'm real dense! Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian7 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi "lowflyer" the photo thru the trailer side door of your right-front wheel strap concerns me. you should position the strap so the tension is in line with the center of the wheel hub; strap tension plus vibration may cause the wheel to rotate, and relax the tension on the strap.

lowflyer Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks, I did note that. This trip was to be all of 6 miles, just to check out how the trailer/car combo hauled behind the new Trailblazer. The reason it ended up that way was that the hole just below the one I used is where the tire valve stem came out and I didn't want to chance rubbing through that. Thanks again.

manik Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sorry to drag this topic back to life, but I like this picture. It's certainly one way to do it. Perhaps the owner is on here? http://ww3.startribune.com/blogimages/classiccars/WheelsWings/LotusKnockoff.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
