Kestrel Take
An open steel car-hauler flatbed — H&H builds a solid, popular car trailer for hauling vehicles, projects, and equipment. The car-hauler checks are brakes (essential when hauling a car), bearings, tire age, the deck/ramps, and the frame. A well-maintained H&H is a durable, versatile hauler with good resale; verify the brakes, running gear, ramps, and deck, and confirm it wasn't overloaded.
