I see people filling these trailers all the time in Allentown and I'm wondering from someone who is filled one, how many pins do they fit?

I have a v-nose 5x8 covered trailer. I can fit 3 easy plus my dolly. 4 *may* fit but really tight and it makes the trailer a bit too heavy.

You can fit 5 if you remove the heads on 1 or 2 and pile them on top or in the car/truck. The problem is 5ft wide is not enough to put 2 side-by-side when folded. Too thick and too wide.

I have a 4 feet wide trailer and I've fitted up to 4 pins in it, you CAN put 2 pins folded side by side but you need to put one with the head in front and the other with the head in the back, face to face but side to side. I hope I'm exoplaining well to be understood, in other words, the 2 heads are not one beside the other but the cabinets are one beside the other where there are no heads. :confused:

My head hurts just trying to understand what you're trying to say.

He means side by side but with I pin the head faces the front of the trailer and the other pin the head to the back of the trailer. The pins are side by side but the heads are not.
