Lynnore Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 We are a pool company from Western Canada newer into fiberglass, and we are looking to buy, or have a tilt trailer designed to transport 15 and 16' wide pools. Any insight would be helpful as there are not a lot of these trailers designed in Western Canada lol Thanks in advance, Lynnore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolGuyNJ Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Most dealers I know/see on the road use a regular flat bed trailer and either a crane or large back hoe for lifting and carrying the shell. The shells usually have heavy rope loops or chains embedded to connect rigging to just below the coping edge. Some require lifting straps to cradle the shell. Shells that require tipping on their side for a narrower profile during transportation will require additional bracing to prevent structural stresses. This creates some serious concerns though as a lifting and setting down on the trailer in an other than normally oriented position will stress the shell at some point during the process.
