Title: Trailer Size
Post by: Havoc_Smirf on February 01, 2006, 08:32:35 AM

Will a Sami w/ 32" tires fit on a 12x6 trailer?  In the market for one just trying to figure out what my Sami can fit on.  Appreciate the help!

It might hang off the sides a little, length is OK

On one that size, be sure to check the load capacity. If you go with a smaller, medium duty, it may not have the capacity to haul your sammy.

What does a Sami normally weigh around?  I have completely removed the top/doors but it has the weight of the roll cage and the 32" tires...

Need to have a 2500 Lb axle capacity
to be safe, that trailer is a quad hauler

I tow with a trailer about that size, maybe just a tad bigger and don't have too many problems.  It's not the ideal set up, but it's all I can afford, and it's better than flat-towing.

If I were getting that trailer, I'd re-enforce that gate some more and call it good.  Looks like a good deal for the price.

Ya I would never put any vehicle other than a quad on a single axle trailer. Im looking for a double axle with brakes. I just dont know what size axles I need and the weight of a tracker

I think there just over 2700 lbs stock.  I think the weight is on the door sticker.  It's a sticker in the drivers door jam.

    FWIW:  My stock 2 door softop tracker weighs ~2500 lbs.  My Kick (2 door softop) with bumpers, skids, trail gear, etc. weighs 2800 lbs with no tailgate & just half doors.  We've weighed 3 Samis in our group, all with aftermarket bumpers, skids, winches and trail gear and none of them weighed over 2500 lbs.

In most cases I think the smallest axles you can get on a tandem or car style trailer are 2 3500lb axles.  Those are the smallest available to my knowledge.
