In our daily life, it is often necessary to transport oversized cargo or many things that do not fit in the trunk. In such cases, a trailer becomes the only output. You can buy it, but it is not at all difficult and more economically to make it yourself, especially if you have the opportunity to get any materials without prejudice to the wallet. Consider how it is done.
Drawing Development for homemade trailer
Before turning to business, you need to draw up the drawing of your trailer. At the same time, it is necessary to focus on the regulated rules for the assembly of the trailer for the car, namely at GOST 37.001.220-80 so that you can easily register it.
Make a drawing as much as possible and think over all the little things. It will help you correctly calculate the required amount of material for all elements of the trailer, clearly structure the course of work and avoid errors.
Materials required for the manufacture of self-made trailer
When choosing materials, focus on the purpose of the trailer manufacturing persecution.
- For the bottom frame, take a metal pipe with a square cross section of about 4x4 cm. You can use 2,5x5 cm channel. For sides, the cross section of the selected material may be less.
- For the upholstery of the trailer sides, take a steel sheet with a minimum thickness of 0.6 mm or a laminated phaneer with a thickness of about 1.5 cm.
- A tin sheet, durable plastic, OSB plate, 1.5-2 cm thick can be used as a material for the bottom.
- The running part can be made with your own hands, but it is easier to use the front axle of motocoles Szd. Wheels are also better to take from there, in order not to look suitable separately.
- For suspension, an excellent option will be the use of a depreciation system from the Ural motorcycle.
- Farc.
- Electrician.
- Fastening elements.
- Welding machine and tools.
Procedure for the manufacture of improvised trailer
Making frame and connecting node
Based on the drawing, we make the necessary cuts of pipes or a chapeller, weld them into a rectangular frame, weld the onboard elements. After that, additionally ribbies for special strength and exclusion of distortion should be welded.
Connecting node is a very important detail. It is exposed to high loads, therefore, it is performed from the same materials as the frame part. For better maneuverability, this part of the trailer should not exceed 2 m. It is necessary to accurately produce the center of the connecting unit relative to the axis, so that during operation the trailer does not led to the side. To exclude unforeseen disconnection, a cable or chain of security should be added to the connecting node design.
Coupling
Connect a trailer with a car with a coupling. To secure it, you can use bolts, which is less reliable, but more practical, because At any time makes it possible to push the trailer by promoting the bolts. The second option is to welcome the coupling, which is the opposite, more reliable, but less practical, because Then it will have to cut off the coupling.
Installation of the axis of the trailer
The axis of the trailer is the main reference design. It is standardly installed at a distance of 40% of the length from the rear wall of the trailer, i.e. Slightly shifted from the center back. For installation axis, we use bolts. Then fasten on the axis frame as well as using bolted connections.
Installation of sides and bottom
The selection of the material of the sides and the bottom of the trailer is carried out on the basis of the use of the trailer. Fasteners are performed by bolts. If necessary, make a folding board, use the loops. If you plan to use a tent when operating, fasten the mounting perimeter for the tents (rollers, loops, etc.) on the upper perimeter.
Installation of electricians
A set of signal lights behind the trailer must be identical to the rear signal lights of the machine, i.e. include stop lights, turn signals, dimensions, reversing headlights. Also on board should have reflectors of orange light. There should be white dimensions on the side of the car. If the wiring is prepared and the devices are located in their places, take the connection directly to the machine using the pitch of the headquart.
Do not hurry when performing all of the above actions. Follow the rule of the famous proverb - Seven times will die, one cut.
So, the trailer is ready. The next step is to register, after which you feel free to start exploiting the trailer!

Yes, the hands are growing correctly. Molden. I'm going to crash, I liked your design. Thank you for drawings and video.
"For the bottom frame, take a metal pipe with a square cross section of about 4x4 cm." - It seems that you have a framework from the profile 40 * 20, or is the vision deceive?!
