Traction issues also

[rstreet]

I have traction issues also I noticed today while loading some household items into the trailer. I believe the traction item is more noticeable when I load the 61 409 as it has the stock wheels The 62 SS red car has the optional GM 409 wheels thus spreading the tire a bit more.

Self adhesion rubber matting would probably work or traction surface. https://www.uline.com/Product/Detai...VAb7ACh1CggU4EAQYAyABEgLcxPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Also, heating the tires up before you launch up the ramp would help.

Spray on bed liner ?

 

[rstreet]

Great suggestions guys
I am going with trying spray bed liner but Bob’s suggestion sounds like fun. The issue is really bad if wet grass is behind the trailer then the car tends to go sideways at launch on the ramp.
I probably ought to start up the ramp from farther away at speed but am scared of snagging a bumper or mirror with the door cables. Tommy has a different door system on his gooseneck trailer that works well. Sometimes I close my eyes watching him load those wide Pontiacs at speed.

I use several strips of 4" wide adhesive backed anti slip material....works great.

A wench would work but a winch is less money in the long run.

Ray's suggestion would be better in my opinion. Wet tire on bedliner if it is smooth would not help much.

Thats the only way to go.

Wench

I tried the wench thing but after the first time she wouldn't get under the car anymore.

But did she still make you a sandwich?

My wench will push a car. I guess a winch might work too

Mine has also, but I wouldn't want to ask too often.

Never had a wench......what do they cost? Amazon??

The rental plan is expensive short term but will save you money in the long run.

The most expensive ones tend to do the least work.

Sandblast it to give it some texture (not the wench!).

You have to feed the wench and they complain a lot about nothing, but a winch works without complaining and you only have to buy it once..

The younger wenches don't work one week out of the month.
