The license plate on your trailer indicated Ontario, Canada and I'm afraid you'd run into the same problem eleblanc faced with prohibitive shipping costs to us Yanks south of the border. His all aluminum lid was less than $400 IIRC, but shipping to the USA was going to run $200-250, making them cost prohibitive.
I've only received one solid bid for a flat steel lid using 1"x2" tubing as a frame and a sheet metal top, supplying my own hinge and struts, mounted on the trailer for just a little more than $400 here in expensive Southern California.
You've built a lid as nice looking as Eleblanc's, but both of you are in Canada!
Yeah and mine was only 60#. All americain folks that bought one of my lids drove up here to pick them up. One guy came all the way from PA. I did ship 2 lids to shawn can't remember the cost, it wasn't too bad considering it was going to BC from Quebec, but not crossing the border.
For this to be worth while to potential americain customer i would need to fab a whole skid of lids, something like 7-8 lids. Then have them ship to a single place in USA on a skid. So basicly find a distributor..and obviously i won't ship 8 lids without getting most if not all of the money!
