I looked the trailer over and it's not in bad shape at all. Two short axles along a single line at the back of the trailer. Single drop. If anyone wants it, it's $500, located in Graham, WA. Call Guy at 253-846-9475. 112 inches wide and the deck is 17 feet of flat before the rear wheel gap. There is 5'8" beyond that point to the very rear, where there is a truncated beavertail that needs ramps to get all the way to the ground with. Weight is 16,500 pounds and it appears to have a capacity of 39.5 tons. I can't be sure if that is the total or the carrying capacity. There is a dataplate on it that is barely readable. Appears to be WW2, to me. Airbrakes. 5th wheel style.

Cautionary note, however. A trucker friend said that the State of Washington considers this trailer style to have one axle, not two. Crazy, but that means the trailer is legally not to carry nearly the load it's physically capable of. California is not so screwed up in regs, so it's perfectly fine, there. Unsure about any other state. You're on your own, there.
This is a really beefy trailer and someone could add an axle and have a real brute of a trailer if they wanted it.
