 Cargo Trailers, some interesting alternatives

Have been looking for a long time for a strong cargo trailer with fat tires

Thule does not have a strict cargo trailer but they have child-trailers:

A nice Surly steelbike and a long hauler cargo trailer!

"Attached a ladder to the cart and then the drawbar to the ladder. It turned out really cool and I could have taken another box if you put them on the other link. I put anti-slip tape on the ladder so the load sits more stable. The steps of the ladder are hollow and were perfect for to pull the cargo straps through so they stayed in place better. However, I had a bit of a problem with the cart being jerky." - E. Brinkman

"The ladder were also from Biltema. When I removed the sides of the cart, its brackets stuck up, between them the ladder just had room with small wooden spacers so that the ladder would sit firmly. Then I used hose clamps to secure it.


I then attached the pull arm with screws to the sides of the ladder. But to stabilize it, I took a steel tube that just fit inside the drawbar, which now makes it sit more firmly. You can see it in the picture. But it is quite possible that it is unnecessary."  - E. Brinkman

I believe the ladder is 3m

"I have now made a couple of beams which means that a wide load comes above the wheels and at the same time is supported laterally." - E. Brinkman


"120cm wide bed was surprisingly easy to drive!" - E. Brinkman


This is Biltema cargo trailer from start:
