Re: [RC] trailer suspension and ride - Dyane Smith
Richard, I have 2 trailers: a gooseneck with torsion axles
(one kind of shock absorber) and a two horse with shocks (a
Brenderup).
Also, there was an excellent article on building a perfect
2 horse trailer for multiday rides in, I think, Endurance magazine a couple of
months ago. That trailer had shocks on it, too.
Torsion axles are expensive but I think they can probably
be added as an aftermarket device because I was thinking of changing the ones I
have to lift the trailer up to try to match it to my new and ridiculously high
4x4 truck.
I read the archives first, and still have a question, well, several
questions:
How come no manufacturer puts shock absorbers on horse trailers? Is
there a design or safety reason? Is there a manufacturer that somehow
cushions the ride? Is there an aftermarket kit or package to smooth out
the ride in a horse or small stock trailer?
