Re: Weight of Trailers
I'll have a tongue weight sometime this Saturday after I finish another trailer. I don't have access to a scale accurate to 0.1 lb that I can put one of these things on. I may be able to get that for you next week. These things are pretty big and unless you have a large platform scale, it is very difficult to weigh them. Thirty-five pounds is the design weight and that is very close to what I got on my bathroom scales. That's built with Alumilite and the Coraplast or whatever that corrugated plastic is called, just like the plans called for. I can't tell you what the weight is full of balls because I don't know how many balls you can get in there. I've heard of one team that loaded over 80 of them in one trailer, but I haven't confirmed that. Let's face it, if someone has scored 80 balls in your trailer, you aren't going to win that match anyway!
