Is the trailer custom built from the ground up, or did he modify an existing trailer? Looks very nice. I was going to have a trailer built to carry two quads. I wanted to be able to carry them end to end so I could drive them both up and down a ramp at the back, and I wanted a narrow trailer that was just wide enough for the Quads because I wanted to be able to take it off road. And I only wanted one axle on it. A had an estimate of $1800 to build which I thought was a really good deal. It would have been no where near as heavy duty as yours and didn't have the fancy lifting mechanism. I still may have it build, but I wonder if I could find somebody like you found to make it. My estimate was through a local trailer dealer who buys from a manufacturer in Fresno. They were going to make the custom size trailer for me.
We had our Quad trailer custom built by a small trailer company in UT, to our specs and are very happy with it. 14' bed, 7' deck with side railings laid out 9", for a width of 102", both rear load ramp and side ramps, 3500# axle with brakes. Can carry all 3 of our machines side ways or the Rzr long ways and either of the other 2 side ways, or the 2 smaller ones end to end. Have a front mounted tongue box with a 15w solar panel mounted to the top for solar battery charging. The price, setting in our driveway in ID was under $1700 including state tax.
Look around for the "small" company or metal shop that will do custom work or for the retired fabricator like Timmac found, as that will get the better product at a more reasonable value.
