As the title says I need a used trailer to move my trucks around, I'm located about 1 Hr South of Harrisburg, PA. it doesn't to be pretty just needs to be in good condition, for what I need it can't justify buying new, let me know if anybody has anything, prefer within 4-5 hrs of drive or within the area I circled in the pic.

BTW, I need it this weekend at the latest, have cash in hand and can pick up as early as Friday.

Thanks Paul.

good luck. I looked at alot of trailers and they were all too short, or not enough room between the fenders, or no title, or not enough GVW's, or something. I ended up buying a new 2003 leftover for $1900. The last one they had.
Also, all the used prices were not cheap. And they needed work to be PA legal. But mabey you'll find a deal. I couldn't....

Hey Paul--been a while. Wish I was a bit closer---got a super solid HD trailer---16' by 82" wide flat bed that hauls trucks and blazers like crazy. It was custom built to be a race stock car trailer and tows excellent. Has HD white oak floor that is solid with two 3500lb axels. Elec brakes on rear axel. HD ramps that would probably hold a dozer. Could get it to Huntington--Charleston WV Saturday---. Will send you e-mail. Huck

Just a friendly reminder, it has to have brakes on all wheels and a break-away system to be PA legal.

chevy_fatman · 06-01-2005, 10:05 PM

It looks like I might have to go with new (didn't want to spend the extra dough) Thanks for the tips Randy, what's the GVW in your trailer?

Huck, sending you a pm

Anybody else knows about a used trailer for sale?

Paul, where you located around Shrewsbury?

I have a buddy owns a hardware store in Dauphin (Harrisburg), has a nice trailer that he rents out approx. $50 per day, rated for 10K GVW. I can provide the number later on tonight if you're interested, let me know.

Most States are now mandating this, and the cops are on the look out. Makes it hard to buy a good used trailer anymore
