i'm shipping a Big Tex 60CH 16' trailer overseas and need the following exact measurements:

1. width at widest part of trailer
2. height from ground to tallest point on trailer
3. length from forward most point -> rear most point

i've tried getting the seller to measure it, but it's not working out. Big Tex could only give me an "estimate" of the measurements.

unfortunately, being off a few inches on any of the measurements can cost me hundreds more than it should.

btw, seller is in California, i'm in Hawaii, so i can't just go and measure it myself.

if it's not too much trouble, i hope one of you with a 60CH can help me. Thanks in advance!

Best I could get for you would be off of a 18" 70CH. Dont know if that would help you any or not.

Where is the trailer located exactly? Maybe one of us Pirate dudes can go measure for you if it's close by.

Just curious, but why do you have to ship a trailer overseas?

Hero, i'll take you up on your offer, pm sent, thanks a lot!

Trucktrader, that's a little bit too much trouble than i'd like to put on any of you folks. thanks anyway, i appreciate it!

Rockhales, that helps tremendously. i'll still need the width and height, but at least the length and weight is taken care of. Thanks!

if anyone can confirm that Hero's 70CH is the same width and height as the 60CH, that would help.

Ok Unknown808,

Best I can give you: (Ive done a bit of fender removal due to crushing from driving over them)
Max width: 102"
Max heigth:
Trailer level with ground: 36" to top of folded tounge jack
Tounge jack completely lowered: 33" to top of fenders.(estimated due to no fenders.

I am willing to bet that the 60CH and 70CH are identical other than length.

Sorry guys, I've been all over the place today. The 70CH is roughly one inch taller than the 60CH. They are both 102" wide. The actual length on a 16' 60CH is 236". I know that it comes out a little different on their specs, but I'm a dealer and my book tells all.:grinpimp: Sorry for being late, if there is anything I can do let me know.
