Tiny house Trailer and more
Version 3 brings years of development and refining to a proven platform. The system is highly flexible and can be put to many uses.
Features
Width and Length
Two common widths of 2.4m and 3m (2.95m), can do any width up to 3.1m.
Lengths range from 3.6m to 10.8m at 0.6m intervals, can do any length in between. Intervals of 0.6m are designed around standard building materials. We also run the popular 8 and 10m lengths.
Detachable Trailer
The chassis simply unbolts from the deck/house to give you options.
Take trailer in to get a WOF without taking the complete house.
Use the trailer an other use. E.g. pickup building materials
Reduce height to lover the house for truck transport
Drip Edge
We are all about the details and have created a drip edge for the cladding to hung past at the front and rear of the trailer. Its a small detail but means quicker and better construction.
Wheel Dolly
The Smart Trailer uses a removable and adjustable wheel dolly in either a a road legal or site configuration.
Road - Frame, wheels, axles, suspension, brakes and mudguards
Site - Frame, wheels, axles
Low Floor Height
We use strong low profile wheels to achieve a low floor height starting at 600mm. This creates a flat deck to build over to keep it simple and quick to get your house started. It is possible to go lower please enquire.
Thermal Sub-floor
You know what it's like to touch steel on a cold day, so why would you build your floor directly on it? Steel conducts approx 350 times better than pine timber meaning the cold will travel straight up and into your home if building directly on steel. We recommend the use of timber and insulation to keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer, this also reduces your energy bills. More info here. We can build your subfloor.
Accessories
The 'Smart Trailer' platform has many accessories already designed in ready to go. Don't need lifting jacks? So don't select them. Want a trailer with no suspension or brakes? Want a water tank?
Drawbar Mounts Both Ends
Trying to get your mobile tiny house into a tricky position? We’ve got you sorted with a drawbar that can mount either end of the trailer deck.
Trailer with other uses
Why not use that investment sitting under your house for something else like a 3.5T utility trailer.
Adjustable Wheel Dolly
Not sure where the center of gravity will be on your house? Or want to have the ability to freestyle your build as you go and not worry too much about axle placement? We have the solution with a wheel dolly that is adjustable forward and back to ensure you have the correct weight on the vehicle tow bar for safe towing.
Lightweight
We think weight is the most challenging aspect to building a tiny house on wheels (THOW). Our trailers utilise ‘smart design’ using 3D modelling and strength testing software to ensure strength whilst being lightweight compared to others on the market. We used CNC laser cutting and folding to reduce unnecessary weight and in our eyes looks the part. Getting you off on the right foot as every kilogram counts.
Use Multiple Decks
Want to build two tiny houses? Or build another later? Or want to get into the rental cabin business? Buy one drawbar and dolly and multiple decks to get real value from the system.
Quality
We place a large foucs on quality.
Accessories
Add all sorts of Accessories to make your trailer.
Configure
Width
Decks come in two standard widths of 2.4m and 2.95m to give clearance of 75mm each side for cladding and guttering etc. Its possible to do other widths up to 3.1m at extra cost.
2.4m wide uses a one piece deck
2.55m or wider use a removible deck bolted to a chasis.
Deck joists are placed at 600mm centers.
Basic
The Basic configuration is simply the same trailer without the deck in the 2.4m width.
This trailer is designed to use 90 mm LVL for the sub-floor or similar, that we can do or a DIYer or builder.
This model saves cost on the trailer plus
Has the advantage of a high R-value subfloor R2.6
Timber joists can be attached to the steel deck via drilling holes and bolting.
Length
There are two length ranges dictating chassis finish and also steel member size for strength.
Decks come in two standard widths of 2.4m and 2.95m to give clearance of 75mm each side for cladding and guttering etc. Its possible to do other widths up to 3.1m at extra cost.
Ranger
Deck 3.6 - 7.8m long hot galv dipped chassis
Plus
Deck 8 -10.8m long
9.6m - 10.8m long use 6 lifting points up from 4
Dolly
Will your house travel on the road or via truck? Might be able to save some money and use a site trailer.
Every dolly incudes the same strong laser cut and folded hot dip galv drawbar.
Width of dolly and drawbar does not exceed 2.3m
As a rough rule of thumb tiny houses over 8m long will be over 3.5T
Road
Is designed to be road legal and is suitable for occasional to regular travel rated at 3.5T including the trailer.
Suspension - equalising leaf suspension for a smooth ride and reduces wear and tear.
Brakes - electric with both axles braked not just one.
Brake controller - setup for hard wired with 2x safely chains standard, controller not included (or wireless as upgrade option).
Lightboard - pre galv bolted to rear of chassis.
Rego 1 year, WOF 3 years.
Site
Is the same design as the Road dolly but with road going components removed. It is designed to be transported to site via truck but can be moved on site.
As a guide, tandem axles for 8m and under and triple axle for over 8m. Configure in pricing form below.
No brakes, controller, suspension, lights, rego, wof or mudguards. We can add any of these items, please enquire.
