How difficult is it to add such a spring brake to the trailer? Also will the cost justify the increased braking response? Has anyone driven trailers without any of such braking mechanisms? How difficult is stooping the jeep in that case?

I picked up this trailer from an army auction. There were two of them.

I have the combat rims. Missing parts are the support leg and reflectors.

You could think of M100 specification of T3-C model.
Here is the page that could help you identify the trailer: http://bantamt3c.com/bantamid.htm

Not sure if the serial numbers that are exported out of US match to the table, buy try it: http://bantamt3c.com/bantamdatabase.htm

I have driving with and without the brakes now, the brake is basically used avoid damages to the K member of the chassis. When you are in a slow speed and empty tub there is no difference.

I have felt the difference with my trailer when loaded with goods and whenever the brake applied it reduces the force passed to the K member thus less banging noise and impact to the jeep.

Is it legal to fabricate and use your own trailer? I have seen many trailers made by cutting the rear half of a Matador Chassis. Most of them are used to mount generators.

Meanwhile here are some pictures of better looking trailers.

Hi guys,

I am not looking for a trailer but thought I'll ask here in case someone can shed some light.

I am actively considering buying a Thar but would like to equip it with a rear motorbike loading set up like this. Now this is not a trailer clearly but it is a significant modification. How can I use some of these RTO registration processes to make this setup street legal please. I am based in Mumbai in case that is relevant.

The pics below are copied from this post from AriesSonu.

Any advice would be appreciated please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I tend to believe that the RTO registration for trailers are not applicable for tow hitch mounted bike/motorcycle carriers.

The ones shown in the reference doesn’t touch the road hence RTO will not consider it as a trailer. It is as good as roof mounted carriers

Thanks Trammway. Any suggestions on what I can do to make the above setup official / legal?

Nothing!

If you have a box type tow hitch receiver on your vehicle then you are good to go.

Ensure your bike + load bearing platform weighs within the vehicle load tolerance else you will end up losing the vehicle balance.

FYI: Those tow hitch bike carriers are add on setup, you can safely remove them when not in use

Is it legal to have a car attached to a trailer in india ? i was told by someone who is an agent at mumbai RTO that it is not allowed. I was interested in having some clarity and having a trailer for self use where an suv can through a trailer carry a small car from city to city. Kindly advise if any one has a clear idea and the procedure to get the permits. Thank you.

Hi All,
I'm sorry to dig up this old thread but thought this is the appropriate thread for the question I have.
Is it legal to haul a horse trailer behind an Innova without registration? The current manufacturers do not facilitate the registration. However, many folks in north are using them.

Here is the type of trailer I'm considering.

Thank you.

Hi Folks,

Seeing that hybrid cars have abysmal luggage carrying capacity, do you all agree that perhaps adding a trailer towed behind a car like let's say Honda City Hybrid or Toyota Hyrdyer would be legal in long travels? If yes, where can i find these sort of trailers?
