I just looked at this trailer for sale and everything looked almost new and in excellent condition, except I noticed the deck seemed to have a slight curve downward at the front and back. A tight line stretched across the deck front to back revealed a dip on both ends of about 3/4 inch. When I stepped back to look I could clearly see the wrap-around rail also curved with the deck. The owner said he towed a tractor that weighs 5800 pounds. This is only 400 pounds over the approved cargo limit. I wouldn't think this should bend the bed. Is there any chance the trailer was built with this curve in it? I'm new to trailers, so I hope this doesn't sound too ignorant. Trailer has dual tandem 3500 lb axles.
your eyes are probably not lying to you. no curve from factory
Thanks. I'm thinking maybe that tractor was well over 5800 lbs.
