Agreed,
tbh the old leaf sprung trailers seem better, we still have indespension units ( of types) on our Sonata tailer and thats rated to 2.3 tons dinghy ones dont seem to even move |

Our industrial kit runs on nothing more than glorified indespension units and that is at 3000kg,
The trouble is, unladen it just doesn't move and bounces instead

The way it works is the lighting board arms slide in and out within the trailer base and so is removable, you just pull it out, then you can launch. Anyway with an LED trailer board it probably wouldn't matter anyway being "impervious to weather".

hmm, I suspect "impervious to weather" != "salt water immersion proof"
I agree with other posts that standard indespension units are way overated for weight and have way inadequate travel for towing racing boats. But they are *so* cheap that you'd never sell trailers with decent suspension... Edited by JimC - 07 Dec 12 at 3:15pm |

Indespension units just seem to be a way of connecting a wheel to a chassis. They dont do much going up and down. The best trailers are those old ones with a transverse leaf spring.......except when I had the spring break on the M1.

you need a b+e if the trailer weighs more than 750kgs...
OR if the car and trailer weigh more than 3500kgs combined!!! shouldn't and doesn't really bother 'dinghy' sailors buts its great watching caravans getting pulled on the A55 in north Wales in the summer!!!

Driving licenses are changing again in January 2013. So perhaps more confusion? https://www.gov.uk/towing-with-car I found this web page tells you exactly what *you* can drive with your age and current license categories. https://www.gov.uk/towing-rules
