Curb jumping options

May be a little heavy but if you have access to some 6 inch iron or galvanized pipe, have a couple of pieces cut in half lengthwise.

Yea if the tires can't handle going over the curb they sure can't handle the horrible roads out there!

Yep, that is the life a ST tire owner has to live with, anything you do with the trailer once you take delivery will ruin your day! Chris

I'd use a dually:)

Need a monster truck to back over the dually!.:R

A couple of 4 x 6 with a 2 x 4 flat in front (of the 4x6) - each side.

Quick, cheap & EZ..:C

An ounce of prevention by using a ramp would likely prove beneficial in the long run. I have seen contractors simply use a piece of 4x4 hardwood with one corner cut off on a 45 degree angle allowing some relief to both tires and suspension when climbing over cubs. You are likely OK to climb cubs on emergency or one time only basis,but if you are going to do this on a regular basis, why chance stressing any of the components. GPG

Backing a heavy multi axle trailer over a 8" curb when its side scrubbing a bit may work a time or two. Tire damage is cumulative though even a LT tire.
A ramp of the OP choosing is a better idea rather that backing over the curb from street side every time the OP uses his trailer.

I've cut over my share of tires sidewall on equipment trailers trying to get over a curb (from the street side) with a loaded trailer and 7k-8k axles/truck tires into a worksite.

Thanks for the info.

The city will only let you have a 22 foot cut in the curb for driveway.
With the trailer I really need a third drive drive way
As they are one of the few around here to let a RV park beside your house on a slab. I will not try for a rule change

I will explore a couple of the ideas you gave me.

I bet if they needed to break up the curb or sidewalk they wouldnt waste any time sending you a bill for the repairs, or replacement of the curb. If you are paying the bill I see no reason why you cant choose what is there.

It is very common in city regs to allow only one driveway to a residential lot. Chris

i pyt a 2 x12 parallel with the curb then i put a 2 x 6 on top of that. then i just ease up the curb.

Never saw a reply with the curb height, this will work with a 6' curb if it is closer to 8", then 2X12 2X6 and a 2X4 on top. Good lumber should not break up after a couple of uses. If it does, build out of plywood.

Just stack planking parallel with curb creating a set of steps with each step being 8-12 inches wide.

I just use my 2x12 leveling blocks stacked and staggered as needed. They are always in the trailer in a handy storage compartment.
