Common Issues with Glenn Manufacturings MUTT Trailer: Tips and Guidance

I am eager to witness the construction of the pivot on this trailer. What load will you be transporting on it, and what vehicle will you be using to tow it? These factors will dictate the necessary axles, whether 15k axles are required, and if heavier beams are necessary. Today, I had the opportunity to utilize our trail-eze trailer to deliver a forklift for a job tomorrow, which is pulled by a full-size tractor.

When it comes to trailers, it's crucial to be cautious about choosing one that is too heavy, especially if it's a gooseneck with 10k axles made from mill run material. Over time, trailers like these tend to deteriorate due to the inability to include positive camber, leading to potential structural issues. It's important to consider factors like slide setup, deck support, beam width, and crossmember spacing to ensure the trailer can handle heavy loads without bowing or damage. If you plan to transport a solid tire forklift, opt for a trailer with 12" spacing to prevent damage to the floor. Additionally, pay attention to beam width to avoid a cantilever effect and ensure structural integrity. While domex may be used in high wear areas like the slide, it's important to consider upgrading to T-1 for fabricated beams for added durability. If you're interested in a specific trailer style, such as one with a hydraulic tail, request a standard spec sheet to review. Consider adding features like a winch, key slots in the floor, and 17.5 tires for added convenience and durability. When it comes to brakes, electric brakes may not be the best option for longevity. Ultimately, your choice should be based on your budget and intended use to ensure you have a reliable and durable trailer for your transportation needs.

Certain trailers now offer a 19.5 tire option, which some users have reported can nearly double the mileage and significantly reduce the risk of blowouts. It may be advisable to investigate this option for improved durability and safety.

I rely on my 2013 GMC Sierra 3500HD equipped with a powerful 6.6 Duramax diesel engine and a 6-speed Allison transmission featuring Tow/Haul Mode for efficient hauling purposes.

Ian Holt150 noted a lack of response from Glenn Manufacturing. It appears they may not be very proactive in selling trailers. Have you considered looking into other manufacturers who produce trailers with a similar style?

I have not received a response from them yet, which is confusing. Initially, I reached out to them via email and received a reply within 2 hours. Despite following up with them four more times, it has been 2 weeks since I last heard from them.

After experiencing Glenn Manufacturing's Mutt trailers firsthand, I can confidently say that they are of exceptional quality. Having lived in the same region where these trailers are crafted, I have encountered individuals who have praised their performance. The only downside seems to be the initial investment required for purchase. It has been some time since I last inspected the undercarriage, so the specifics elude me. However, from what I've observed, those opting for 15k axles typically use a Medium Duty Truck, while a pickup truck should suffice with 12k axles. Additionally, Glenn Mfg. offers customization options for tires, brakes, and other features based on individual preferences. It is worth noting that these trailers are custom-built to order, ensuring they meet the unique needs of each customer.

It's worth mentioning that spam filters may occasionally flag emails, which can happen on both the sending and receiving end. Despite previous successful deliveries, emails can still get caught. If you're a fan of email communication like I am, don't lose hope just yet - consider reaching out directly if messages aren't getting through.
