26M Original Steel Trailer Specs

Post by igooba »

Hi Everyone,

I am putting in an application to import a small road trailer and need the specs of the 26M original trailer.
I tried looking on the Mac website but they only have the new aluminum trailer now and no dimensions or weights.

What I need for the application is:
Aggregate Trailer Mass = (1905kg)?
Tare Mass?
Gross Trailer Mass?

I also need a copy of a specification document from the manufacturer stating the Aggregate Trailer Mass at time of manufacture.

thanks for your help

Depending on the weather we might put the boat on the trailer this weekend for a clean. If we do I will take a close up picture of the label.

Had a look at my trailer and not much info on the label. You are correct that the max weight is 1905kg and I was told by Philip King when I bought my M that the trailer weight was 330kg. Cheers Nick

Peter,
I was not requested for these papers. I needed change of ownership papers (Bill of Sale) with VIN number of boat and trailer listed.

I used a copy of the sales brochure for the specs as it specifies trailer and boat weight and that worked for me. I was told the more information you provide with the document the better the chance is of successfully passing. I included Pics of the boat, the bill of sale which had been endorsed by a Notary (the ATM was also on that document)

Hope that helps
