Would it be realistic to haul a 500# small safe from New Mexico to Ohio (1500 mi.) with this trailer? I know I'd have to put a floor in it.

How much does the safe weigh?? You should check with, Northern Industrial. I haven't used mine yet, but I did add a floor and sides and got a better license plate holder. If you didn't get the trailer yet, please check with the Northern. I found out they no longer make this one. But mine is exactly like the Northern Industrial one. Except from a different company. Harbor freight tools or you can get information from the person selling the trailer at Amazon. When I checked the about the weight, it said about 870 Lbs.

Yes. Providing you place three quarter ply flooring and proper blocking to prevent sliding. Also lie it flat on its back. Check tires and hub bearings for leaks and excessive heat. Don,t speed. Took one from Tucson Az. tu upsate NY. and back with 700 pounds of tools no problem. But if your afraid ship it road frieght to save your worry. Love George P.S. center the load properly.

Yes I think it can be done,probably wouldn't hurt to stiffen up the hitch with more iron so as to be able to hold the weight fwd a lil more

I haul my lawn mower around town with no trouble,1500miles is a little to much for this trailer

It is rated for 1000 lbs so you will only be using half capacity. If you do it I recommend you stop every 200 miles and grease the bearings through the zero on the hub

I wouldn't haul anything that far with this trailer it's good for around the yard and very short trips.

My load is 300 lbs and over my 400 mile trip, I didn't have any issues at all. Can't really say about 350, but I would think you'd be fine, but be careful about road humps, bumps, etc. Hopefully you'll get another response from someone with a bit more weight.

I'm thinking the trailer offered by Harbor Freight might work. You might want to see if they still offer it and better yet, go see it for yourself, if you can.

its about 3ft long and about 2ft wide its not to hard to transport but you would need a van or a truck I haul mine in a dodge caravan its also better if you have two people if possible

I have mine on a party barge so I don't travel that fast very often. But I don't see why not. I had left it up once when pulling it on the trailer at 50 - 55 for about 4 miles without a problem. The best thing to do is check with the manufacture for their recommendations.

My daughter used this to haul her Buell 500 blast from California to Connecticut last year with no issues at all. She hauled it on the back of her Jeep Wrangler. I did add some air bags for stability of ride on the jeep. The slack was not an issue since the system also comes with a plate and bolt that removes all slack completely once installed correctly and bolt is tightened.

Yea I haul mine on an open trailer at 70-80 mph....only thing I don't like is the windshield doesn't sit exactly flush on the dash of the teryx

Every set up will be different, no doubt about it. That said, we pulled a 4000 Lb. Trailer 3000 miles with a 3/4 ton suburban and after returning to Mich. I added a second friction hitch which did improve the handling. At the cost involved, two is better than one in my opinion. Hope this helps you!

I put two 250s on it and it worked great. No problems at all. A little tough loading but hauls no problem.

I wouldn't do it. It's over 16 feet! I'm sure wait it wouldn't be a problem. But it's your call. You want to get an idea what it would be like? Just put a 16 foot 2 x 4 on top and drive around with it:-) I would however invest in a smaller trailer that could be set up for canoes.

It does not look sturdy enough to drive far or at any speed! But I would be willing to drive with mine up around the campground. Just keep the speed around 10 MPH and if you have it on tight it should be good!

The hitch is mounted to the rear axle, so the connection point will be about five inches closer to the ground with the smaller wheels and the bottom of the trailer will be slightly tilted forward. I do not think this is a serious problem or indeed a problem at all.

No way? If you add the down force of the trailer together with the weight of the motorcycle and the fact it would be out there 30" or so I think you could be very overloaded.

It is pretty heavy and we didn't have any problem with movement. Have long bed dodge towing 30ft travel trailer.

This would be fine on the floor. in our camper it is just on a wood platform works great!

I personally wouldn't. The trailer is designed appropriately. I would step up to the next size trailer for heavier use.

We moved a king size tempurpedic (heavier than spring mattress) bed by ourselves onto a rental truck. The bag is fairly thick, and I would hope that professional movers will know better what they're doing than we did. I would say the bag would be fine in most conditions. If you have professional movers, get insurance on your move and take photos if there's a concern.
