That's a great looking hitch. Did you make it? If so, do you have full size plans you might sell? The right angle on the plate that drops down the rear will make it stronger than a Hitch Doc.

I agree 100%!! That's one of the nicest trailers, I've ever seen. Exclusive to down-under? What is the brand, do they have a website?

2nd that on the "gusset" on the hitch. Makes for a nice, smooth visual line, plus the added strength.

The trailer has a 25 litre Alloy fuel tank that mounts underneath between the wheels .It has independant trailing arm suspension with adjustable shockers .And yes if the polisher takes too long to start the job I will get it back and paint it in 2 pac

That is indeed to fine looking trailer and the hitch is nicer than anything I've run across and sturdier to boot..though I'd powder coat it black...I'll be one the guy's waiting to see the drawings for it...

GREAT WORK !!!
