    Default Local fabricator for a small job?

    Wondering if anyone here is (or knows of) a metal fabricator for a small job.

    I want to put a cargo platform onto the tongue of our travel trailer. Nothing fancy, probably mostly ~ 2" angle steel frame with some reinforcement and an expanded metal base. I need to be able to carry a 2 x 6v battery box, at least one propane tank (preferably two) and two adult bicycles on the tongue of the trailer.

    If anyone here does this kind of work or can point me towards someone who does, please shoot me a PM.

    Thanks!
    Martin

    Commercially made bike rack. Lippert Jack-it. Raises bikes above propane and battery locations.

    If you need a cargo rack up high like that Stromberg Carlson makes one.
    https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Cargo/St...SABEgIoJfD_BwE
    https://www.strombergcarlson.com/pro...-model-cc-255/

    Both are made by parent company Lippert. I have not seen one that makes both bike and cargo rack together.

    BTW putting the additional weight up front will change your loading of the trailer putting excessive tongue weight for the trailer load possibly making the trailer unstable at speed and out of balance.

    If you still want something built, call On Target Fabrications in Wheat Ridge, he does solid work and is very 2A friendly.

    This guy can do what you need. He made a pretty sweet headache rack for his truck a while back.
