Has anyone ever had any experience with "Kwikload" trailers?

Check out a short movie clip showing how to load the trailer.

Goodwork posting those up Russ, we got a fair bit done yesterday/last night.

Yes the side rails have been lowered 90mm, although the guards have dropped on 50mm, as the new guards will be cut flush to the top of the rails instead of sitting under. We wont have any dramas opening door on this trailer!

Were planning to have some toolboxes mounted up front, as well as a couple of Jerry can holders.

Material for the tyre rack has been ordered, should have that done within a week.

Duncan, any chance of some pics of your chain and D-Shackle setup? Sounds good.

trailers like 31 always need fixing

anyway my new trailer turns out the suspension tryed to remove itself lol doddy old repar job

anyway 3 hours and about about 15 tig rods later ( we have suspension again)

yea baby

basically the centre bracket ripped itself off on both sides and the leafs were just flopping around

anyway will add additional brakets to strengthen the part

funny thing is that the trailer towed perfect for the last 3000km

but now its all bouncy and better... also fixed the brakes and its now and even better dream to tow

can do 140

I remember these when they were first released, Adam (cant think of his last name) had just got the Ford drift car and one of those trailers. Was a nice piece of gear looked good and easy to get the cars on/off, but that was 5+ years ago now. As for towing they used a landcruiser and said they had no troubles.

Sorry no first hand experiance with them myself.

lol @ signature indeed!

You have read it so now I can use it, so look out when I finally get to the track and you have something I like/need :D

Serriously those trailers were a nice piece of kit, however at the time the were way to $$ compared to what else was available.

Yeah, they're pretty expensive... I saw a demo Kwikload trailer advertised on eBay for $7000. Looked the goods though!

What about these ones?

I need a light trailer.... 400kg to 500kg.... and it has to be dual axle for stability.

The place that I got mine made at (www.uniquetrailers.com.au) located at Hoxton Park were about to start making aluminium car trailers the week after I picked up mine (red trailer in the pics). I think the cost for them was going to be about $5k but a fair bit lighter than steel.

Hey fellas,

ended up getting a cheap trailer a month or two ago from http://www.positivequalitytrailers.com/

Not flash, but does the job. Going to replace wheels/tires.

also talked to this guy for a bit - made some nice gear... http://www.blstik.com.au/

I dont have those clearance lights either Neil, infact that trailer looks 99.9% identical to my trailer (I wonder if UniqueTrailers made that and sent it up as they send a truck load up every week).

the guy up there on the sunny coast makes him himself so i guess they are probably built of the same certain plans you buy on ebay and the like! lol

yeah i was thinking about adding some lamps !

Hey Michael I have the exact same trailer. Excellent value for money seems good quality and tow's really well. Just as you said though I will be changing to light truck tyres for extra peice of mind. Other than the tyres i couldn't be happier with it.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
