The trailer: a sturdy foundation

September 5, 2011 1 Comment

The foundation for our Ballard model home.

Just recently we took delivery of a trailer that will be the foundation for the Ballard model home we are currently constructing. Our team custom designed this trailer with several important traits:

  • It’s rated to hold up to 10,000 pounds.
  • The angle iron braces extending out from the trailer can hold nearly 1,000 pounds each. The studs of the home will rest on these extensions.
  • The angle iron cross members are specifically placed to fall directly under the floor joists.

Each element of the trailer is precisely planned to provide a solid foundation for our tiny home. The next step was seting up the trailer to be perfectly level to build upon, not even off by a few degrees. Construction can begin!

    Hi There! House looks really great. I have designed a tiny house and am looking for someone here in Australia to build my trailer. None of the trailer manufacturers here know what i am talking about and are quoting twice the price of US trailers. I know it’s a lot to ask but any chance i could have a copy of your trailer specs (detailed specs for manufacturers to follow?) Or the manufacturer email/contact.
    Either way….what is the length of your trailer? Great job!!!
