deadline Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 If it will hold 2000lbs, yes Hardest part about moving a bed around is that the longitudinal sills that rest on the frame require a solid bed to rest on (or it you are lucky enough to get a trailer with purlins at just the right spacing). If you take off the sills, then you have the sill brackets hanging down and the bed becomes very hard to secure. For all but the very early welded all steel beds can be taken apart. Its not very hard and you can lighten the load significantly if you think weight is an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I can confirm the 353 body rides very nicely on a 16ft 3.5t Ifor Williams trailer - if seats and hoops too allow max 1.5t I would think, so yes - as long as transit has a long body then it should be ok, but if it is all hanging over back end - :shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
