Deck trailer

[shoppingcart111]

To those with two place deck trailers (torsion axle), if you're hauling only one sled, do you haul it on one side or the center of the trailer? I'm trying to decide if I need glides for two sleds or to add a third set for running one up the center. Is there any issues with off center loading for one sled?

I have a 12 foot Triton and haul my king cat on one side with no problem.

Triton TC-11 enclosed - 15" tires. My trailer leans to the side enough for me to warrant moving my sled to the middle. Not much mind you, but i like my stuff centre and slightly front loaded so you never know the trailer is behind you.

I would say you are fine,,, if its a 7 hour drive maybe slide it to the middle or even toss the track towards the middle to help spread some weight I wouldnt worry too much or are ya running 12inch tires lol

When i pull my 2 place with one sled i always put it in the middle. For me it has nothing to do with weight distribution. Its all the crap coming off the roads, the sled stays cleaner in the middle.

Good point.

Highways are generally slopped to the passenger side. Place it on the drivers side if you will leave it to one side. I have a tandem axle so I see no sag what so ever.

Ya but the drivers also get slop.

In the center has the best chance to keep somewhat clean

Just saying that since it will be heavy on the left will have a better chance of being level. if you put it on the passenger side its heavy on that side AND the road is sloped that way.
I agree center will be most protected.

Just seems like a good idea to center the load imo.

There's a difference between slopped and sloped
