The brilliance of this is that the initial lifting is being done at the front giving the greatest leverage when the scissors are at it's weakest, then once the scissors open up then it's at it's strongest as well as the load getting easier the further up it goes. Genius.
Awesome design mate. I wanna go one better and have the entire mechanism *below* the height of the trailer sides. Ie. No turret or frame standing upright just like the hydraulic ram one's... haven't figured it out yet lol
I made a tipper trailer with a winch but mine had the high arm with a pulley on top I use rope and no problem at all Must be different with your sisser style
Thanks for your comment Matt. It's a ebay special rated at 14000 lb capacity in dragging weight. I've worked on 8000 lb as a lifting capacity so not to overrate it.

Thanks for your comment. This concept is not my design, I simply worked out the system and modified it to suit a tandem.
감사합니다.
참조하여 만들어 보겠습니다.
What are your plans with this trailer once you've got the new one built? Asking for a friend lol.
Great system....

Yes, that is the dream. But alas the triangle is the only way I got it to work.
@@gteea Same here.. but mate, you've done amazing already

exactly. your lift is constant at the front with the high arm. your main focal point in the see saw fulcrum lever is the high arm itself.
how much poundage can you lift with it?
How much is the winch rated for?
