Does anyone know what make of trailer this is? (1 Viewer)

[OurMoreloLife]

Saw this trailer in Spain this summer and wondered what it was.
Does anyone know?

 

[Vic]

Yes. Its French and expensive, about 3.5k euro. If it's only a scooter you want to tow, try Google and Hydratrail.

Boeing or Airbus?

I really like it. Any more info on how to find it would be helpful. Of course, I have searched already but just can't seem to find it.

I defy anyone to reverse that thing. If you want a trailer to carry a scooter or even a quad or couple of motorbikes as well as other stuff, I have one for sale and its covered, so no cleaning once you arrive at destination.

Those sort of castor wheels have been used with a rigid connection between the towing vehicle and the trailer using two towing eyes. A French manufacturer used to make them but appears to have closed up now. The photo shows a single tow hook but is there a bar stopping movement? The idea is they can be reversed just as if they were an extension on the back of the MH

If you look at the link it shows there is red bar that connects for reversing, it looks a very good bike trailer.??

Surely your Morelo has enough rear axle capacity to use a hydralift ? Far better than any trailer . Unless you are thinking of a Harley

If there is a bar then it must be connected all the time, even if detachable, not just when reversing.
Without it the trailer wheels would swivel on corners due to centrifugal force pushing the trailer sideways and the trailer would hit the van.
Those wheels don't swivel at all....it merely has 4 wheels to increase the carrying capacity on what look like 8" balloon tyres.

Look at the link it does show it in one of the pictures.?

An A class Rapido with one of these trailers pulled up on an Aire we were on in France last month.

He pull up as though he was going to back into the space and at that point I thought that it was going to be a pain in the arse for him to take of the trailer pull it to the back of the pitch and turn it around ready to hook back on again, but no, he just reversed the whole rig into the pitch with the trailer wheel swivelling through 180 degrees as he reversed.

It's a different model in the OPs picture.

.......and, I understand, it is not classified as a trailer on the cross-channel operators. Why? Because it is not articulated from the towing vehicle.

And here it is reversing, neat bit of kit.

 

[RogerThat]

So you have to get out and attach that bar every time you want to reverse? ?

Then take it off again when you want to go forwards?

I find that odd as it would articulate if the bar isn’t fitted.

My hydratrail I don’t have to put a bar on ?

As I said earlier, without that bar the wheels would castor and the trailer would swing out on corners under centrifugal force so the bar remains attached at all times.
Unlike the Hydrotrail which needs dual towball this only needs a regular ball and secondary fixing point for the tie bar.

Mine doesn’t use dual ball it attaches via a square bar vertically.

The wheels don't castor because you lock them in position and then take the bar off that you reversed with, when reversing the bar is in position and the wheels are unlocked, It's all on the video on the web site I posted and possibly the others but I have not watched them all.

I give in..... When did they change the design on all these.
The last I saw had two drawbar, two ball cups and two towball on one wide towbar. It didn't articulate and the wheels swiveled all the time.
The other was the design above but the secondary bar took the place of the second towball, the wheels permenantly swivelled and it didn't articulate.

I've just bought this trailer....the French "fitter" only spoke French and I didn't quite get what he thought about strapping down the handlebar bar. He just strapped the wheels as I understand. What do you do ?

 

[TUCANO]

Chillin,
I hope you get a reply mate as this thread is 3 year old.

I realise that.

Great no problem

Seen a new looking trailer on a French MH the other day which was supplied by these folk.

Single towing eye but with a stabilising bar so it stays rigid to the towing vehicle.
