I have a question about modifying a tandem car trailer. It uses 1/4 inch angle iron, 3 inches by 1 7/8 inches for the perimeter rails. One around the bottom, and one spaced 9 1/2 inches above. I would like to remove the upper rail. What can I add to the bottom rail to replace the strength of the upper rail? A new trailer is of out of the question for now, I need an income first. The idea is to load cars and be able to get the door open.

Re: Trailer modification question
Can you just lower the top rail just enough to clear the doors? If you could attach a picture it would help a lot.Originally posted by DonB

Easy and cheap is to raise floor by laying 2ea 2X6 boards on each side making tracks.Comment
