    Welding trailer build along

    I recently acquired another miller bobcat 250 and wanted to build a small compact trailer to put the machine on. I wanted it to be big enough for the highway but small enough to pull with the ranger through the brush if need be.



    Started off building the frame out of 3" channel iron with 3/16" tubing where the welder would bolt down. I cut down an axle that I had as well to fit the frame. Put 3/4" conduit in the frame for wiring also.



    I put some 1/8" diamond plate on it for the decking.





    Built some light boxes out of some scrap diamond plate I had.



    Welded up some fenders and the light boxes and put a step in between the two





    Made a set of bottle racks for my oxygen & acetylene bottles.



    Built my hose and lead racks as well then shot a little paint on it (I'd be awhile before I had time to build the tool box and removable latter rack and didn't want it to rust in the meantime)





    When I got the chance to work on it again I scored/cut/bent some diamond plate for my toolbox to keep consumables in for my upcoming projects.




    Welded on some receiver tubes and fab'd up a pair of removable ladder racks out of 2" tubing. They are pretty light and don't plan on putting more than a 10' ladder on them.

    I will shoot a little paint on it and wire the lights when I get a couple of days off again. Thanks for checking it out!

                      Looks great. I love the removable ladder rack idea.

                        That's nice work. Very clean design.

                        Question about the chain bottle tie-downs: Is the chain welded on the inboard side of the rack and then tension adjusted with the nuts/bolts on the outside?
