I have a 25 ton lowboy that I'd like to mount track for strap winches on so that I can occasionally use it to haul large round bales of hay or other cargo.
The trailer is 8' wide but to haul hay I would extend the outriggers...not sure if that will work well since the strap winches would be back under the outrigger plank. The outside frame rail is a C channel so there isn't a flange to hook a strap to on the inside. I'd either have to weld on a strip for the strap hooks or hook them on under to the main frame rail.
What type of winch track do you like best and what would work best for this application? I probably wouldn't leave the winches on the trailer unless I'm using them just to keep them out of the way.
