Subject: [roc-chat] Launch trailer for sale
Hey guys,
I put this up once before and got some interest but no takers. Anyway I am
selling my BDR Launch Tower trailer due to the fact that I just can't manage
to haul it up to launch's anymore. I hate to sell it but I can't haul two
trailers at once and I like being able to sleep in a bed and take a shower
when I'm at multiple day launch's. I don't know, guess I'm just different
that way ;^)
Back to the trailer, I'm asking $2500.00 for it and am firm on the price (at
today's prices I couldn't build this trailer for less than $10K and that's
just parts and materials). It's 22 ft. long overall and has a 20 ft. heavy
duty launch rail on the tower and is loadable from the bottom of the rail
when it is horizontal. The hydraulic lift system is powered by 12 volts and
the pump is a modified Tilt and Trim motor used in boats. I have a 20
umbilical push button control for raising and lowering and it can also be
lowered using switch's located in a lockable control panel. The lifting
power of the hydraulics can lift up to just about anything you can put on
it. As a test I one time had a friend that weighed in at over 200 pounds sit
on the top end of the tower while it was down in the horizontal position and
then lifted him with no problem or strain on the system. The only time you
would have to help this system is if the battery went dead and I have
installed high pressure bypass valves just in case this might ever happen.
The tail lights are removable so that they won't get burnt up during big
motor launch's and has removable outriggers to stabilize it. I've attached a
couple pictures of the trailer and the hydraulics.
If interested contact me at rrmagoo7@xxxxxxxxxxx or the phone listed below.
