Hope I am posting on correct forum. Homade trailer (tandem axle) made from mobile home frame. Car hauling trailer may be best description. 22 ft long actually has 2 tails no center bed, in rear, old trailer with strong rails underneath. Tail end about 10" off ground. Is there way to cheap way to bend this back up?
thanks

If it truly was a frame from a mobile home you're kinda doomed if there's heavy loads in the future. They aren't stout enough(it bent already) to do any real work. If you really need to bend it there's several ways. Have it straddle an I beam, block the front up, tie the center with GOOD chains and lift the rear with bottle jacks, a bit on each side at a time. You could put more of a load than bent it right over the wheels, block the front up and jack the rear. Just don't go for broke until you get the hang of the method. I took a totalled car haul and ended up with a completely useable trailer when I was done.

THANKS LC. I appreciate your advise, especially since, you been there, done that. I don't see a lot of heavy loads in the future. Do you think that heat would help ? Or is it just too much surface to get and even bend ?
Thank again
