Professional Welder Needed

Bruce, it would be helpfull if you mention your location, i.e a welder in Perth would be too expensive to go to Sydney. Cheers

Bruce and Sal,

Bit hard to give guesstimates without laying eyes on it, if everything is cut to size and has been done so correctly then a day should see the chassis along with spring hangers etc etc welded together no probs at all, gets a bit more fiddly when you start putting all the sheet metal in.
If it is just a basic 9x5 HD tandem trailer then i would imagine 2 days should have it close to done by a experianced welder with MIG..once you start adding all the little extras (gas bottle holders, spare wheel holders, water tank mounts etc etc) you could add 1,2 or maybe more days, all depends on how much you are getting done.
Overall though i think 2 days should see a pro welder come close to knocking of the basics...after that how longs a piece of string.

Good luck

Thanks for all your responses.

Just did a quick comparison with a trailer already built & I don't think getting a kit i going to be very beneficail, the welding & painting would need to be very cheap to make it worth my while.

Thanks anyway appreciate the comments.!!

And if you want it to last you need to get it hot dip galvanised..

Hi Bruce,
Hubby is a boilermaker welder, ticketed...

We looked at similar, but unless you had all the different bits and pieces (toolwise), it was nowhere near economically sound to do it yourself, as you said.

If you were in a workshop and could get your hands on everything you needed, all good.

Hope that helps.
