Description
Purpose

This blueprint is the assembled version and is NOT easily printable, the printer-friendly version can be found here.

A trailer for transporting Vehicles and other, larger grids, with a ramp at the rear that can be raised and lowered for vehicle access and landing gear in the floor of the platform to for extra stability in transit.

Important: Sharp turns are not recommended when towing this trailer while loaded. While carrying a vehicle, this trailer becomes top-heavy.

There are hinges at the front and rear that function as tow hitches, allowing connections to either trucks or other trailers.

I am working on a modification of this trailer that removes the ramps, landing gear and some of the bed blocks to flaten it out and turning it into a portable power generation and small production trailer using Life-tech power mod and AQD small grid expansion mod. Usinf this along with one of your trucks as a starter rig in a Lost Colony based world. Love the trailer and it is perfect for this. I have liked your ISL series vehicles for quite a while now. Keep up the great work.

If you had something the size of one of your medium trailers, assuming it had a set of folded up pistons (with either rotors or hinges set up for the corners to compact it further), I think it could go deep enough - question is, would there be enough room left over for a medium cargo container, or would all the ore or rock drilled have to go to another trailer?

Plus, with the new update, it could use a 'magnetic plate' to lock down the entire assembly when folded up.

Hmm, not sure a SG version would go deep enough, but I'll tinker with it next month and see! 😁

No small-grid mini-driller? Though it would be neat to see some large-grid creations of yours - what you've made so far is all very good!

Hi there Kam Solastor, yes I would!

It is already o the to build list, once I get to the large grid land vehicles.

Would you consider invoking the wreath of Clang! and working on a trailer that had a collapsable drill rig on it (i.e. with pistons and such) to work as a early way to reach ore deposits before you have a drilling ship?
