Drawbar Trailer
Drawbar trailers are mainly used in combination with a truck or tractor to transport vehicles. I developed this 4-axle drawbar trailer after finalizing the 5-axle Dump Truck. The model is based on the original Nooteboom ASDV-40-22 trailer. Both ramps fold-unfold manually by operating a crank at the front-side of the loader, driving a linear actuator being integrated in the rear-side of the chassis. Each ramp consist of an automatic unfolding mechanism for the 2 sections, which provides a reduced ramp angle.
The floor is made of studded plates, which gives the ability to secure the load with buffers anywhere on the floor.
Additional buffers can be stored in a dedicated stock area on the front-side of the trailer.

Remark
The chassis of the original LEGO® Technic® excavator (set 8294) is modified (4 studs smaller), otherwise the excavator did not fit on the trailer.
My personal opinion is that the excavator looks even more realistic with a smaller chassis as well. The reason for the wider chassis of the original model is to provide space for the battery box.
Tractor #8284 hook-up
No modifications for the tractor needed,
just mount a towbar.
