Default Any examples of modified trailers for cart hauling?

Forgive me if this is an easily searched topic. I spent a little time poking around but didn't find much in the way of haulers.

I have a 2012 CC Precedent and am interested in upgrading to a long travel lift kit. I believe this will make my overall width 60".

My current trailer is heavy duty foldable Harbor Freight 4x8 trailer.

I would like to make my trailer deck at least >60" but want it to be safe and sturdy.

Just looking for examples. Thanks.

I tried posting this in the design forum. I'm not sure how it ended up here.

I tried editing and moving but couldn't figure it out.

Years ago I made a single axle 6x10 with a long mesh gate/ramp thing that utilized the Gorilla Lift tension system to make the gate a one hand lift... But then I stumbled across an old Uhaul tilt trailer has been perfect for the job. It was originally a trencher trailer
It has 2 fullsize truck tires on a drop (center) axle and a real low bed that tilts for loading. It ain't much to look at but it is the bomb to work with. One person can push a dead cart up on it.
I extended the bed behind to get the rear wheels on before it started tilting.
I extended the front to create a wheel cradle for the front tires when loaded.
I would start cruising CL for tilt trailers to work with

Thank you. I've been reading for a while but have used Hotmail for over 20 years. Had to finally create a yahoo account so I could sign up and start posting and seeing pics.

That's using the right tool for the job. You can't have too much trailer under your load. Nothing more scary or dangerous than towing [or following] a flimsy Wallmart grade trailer with a load that approaches it's "supposed" load rating.

I have a Club Car Precedent and I want to put an off road lift kit and tires on it. It should bring my total OD width to 54". My trailer deck is only 48". I'm looking for a few ideas.

Might be cheaper/simpler and definitely safer to sell it and buy a bigger one. I would stay far away from anything that "folds". These carts are tail heavy, watch your axle placement or you might have to load it backwards.
