casperboat Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hello.Found my way here while researching for a trailer i've just bought. Turns out it's a 20cwt Sankey. I bought it kind of by mistake. I had only seen a picture of it and the seller told me it was 3/4 ton. It looked right in the pic, but when I saw it I realised the wheels were massive and therefore the trailer was alot bigger than I thought.. I had hoped to tow it behind my 1965 Landy Lightweight, but think it's a tad too big.. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casperboat Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Welcome Gary. Just gave you a great excuse to find something to tow it with. I wanted one to tow behind my Landy Lightweight.. Can I ask, the fact it's called a 20cwt trailer, does that mean it weighs 20cwt unladen? If so then with the normal tow hitch that has been fitted to it, which will not work the brakes, it will be illegal for me to tow it?

Big ray Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I think that you will find that thats the carrying capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casperboat Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 I think that you will find that thats the carrying capacity. Be good if you are right, but from looking at this trailer it wouldn't surprise me if it weighed that much unladen.. Rather a big thing to only carry 20cwt..
