Trail-ege (Cincinnati Ohio)

It's unclear whether Trail-ege is the manufacturer of these trailers, but more than likely they were manufactured by a company using Trail-ege as the product name . The label on the example below reads Trail-ege and Cincinnati and the rest is no longer legible. As you can see by the photos it uses a leaf spring but also has a coiled spring between the fork and frame [fork shaft 1.5 dia.  x  2 1/8 nut]. The trailer measures 42'' x 54 '' and altogether weights about 225 lbs. The frame is 3 1/2'' u channel with a cast pc to join them, it has a removable bearing which is over 4'' in dia. and 2in thick [its kind of like a single wheel on steroids]. The floor is all wide wood planked bolted to the trailer bed. If you have any info, literature or pictures of any other Trail-ege trailers drop a line and tell me about it.

This trailer is submitted by, Bill Brower. I just purchased it from a guy in Minnesota who said he received it from the original owner years ago and that the trailer plate that was last on it was in 1960. It's hard to tell but to the best I can guess the original color was gray. Its been under tarp for many years and has little damage except for just surface rust, it should clean up well. I just wanted to give you an updated photo of my trail-edge. I replaced the original TRAIL-EGE bed with a custom fabricated wood body in the style of an Allstate Trailer. It's made entirely of wood and has an oak plank floor. The lights were sourced from E-bay . I custom fabricated the hitch assembly in square tube and a local trailer distributor furnished the hitch balls. The whitewall tire is a Cushman 4:00 x 8 and is available thru Coker Tires. I've been on a number of long Interstate trips with the trailer and it cruises at 60 MPH, very stable and tracks beautifully.
