Double Drop Trailer (What can I haul)

I ended up winning an 08 Double Drop trailer from RItchie Brothers a couple of weeks ago. I picked it up for $6500. Kind of an instinct buy. Its in decent shape and so far it pulls really nice. I think these are commonly used to haul glass.

Its a 44 foot trailer with a 21 foot well (Neck doesn't detach). The upper and rear decks are 11-12 feet. Its nice because I can get it up my street and park at my house. My 53' step deck is too long to fit. I want a trailer that I can park at my house. Hoping to stay local right now and make it home most nights.

I need to invest some money in this trailer for tie downs. Maybe a rub rail and some stake pockets... trying to decide if I should keep it. I could also use my step deck ramps to load from the rear.

I'm in Colorado. With all the construction I'm hoping I can haul heavy equipment... Backhoes, boom lifts, telehandlers, wheel loaders. Theres also some work for hay. and occasionally I can find some extra tall loads that pay well.

Does anyone know what other items are hauled on a trailer like this? Do you think its a bad idea to try and make this trailer work? I know I'm limited with it being short and the double drops allow fewer loads than a standard step deck.

 

No I already own some ramps. I just have to weld on the pin attachments to this trailer.

LoL you can't run chains with those fenders.

 

No I haven’t. But I’ve seen it done with excavators.

 

This trailer doesn’t have many tie down points at all. Which makes me wonder what it was used for.

here is a picture of the deck up close. I noticed some broken glass on the trailer and wondered if that’s what it was used for
