Rms Leyland Hippo Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi I have seen what i think is an old Brock house 4 wheel trailer on springs but the photos only show it as having front brake hubs the rear axle has no brake hubs the axles and chassie all look original it is a flat bed but might of had a tanker on it at some stage. is this normal or has some one taken them off. Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAFMT Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Depending on exactly which Brockhouse chassis it is, it should either have brakes on all wheels, or only the rear wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Thanks I have actually brought the trailer now. I'm certain its a Brock house or Eagle It might have had the axle changed even though it has the 10.50 wheels interestingly there is another one there with front braking wheels the chassis is a bit longer about 18ft it has rear stabilisers and a clamp which could have held a wind sock or areal the front tow bar has a spring braking system on the tow hitch ill try to put photos on Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rms Leyland Hippo Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Found out why the brakes are on the front axle on my Brockhouse trailer the farmer who owned it swoped the axles around so the front is on the back this was so he could put the hand brake on the draw bar, so I am now putting it back how it should be thanks:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
