Years ago I bought one off a member who lived in Stoke on Trent, made launching and recovery of my boat on it's twin axle trailer much easier. Just over 2 tonne, Total trailer length with boat just over 26'.

There is a download in the workshop area that shows you how to make one.

Being attached on the nearside gives plenty of forward vision, you push the trailer like a wheel barrow, it goes where you want it to go, you don't have to reverse back and have another go either.
If I recall the thread size into the chassis is a metric fine thread, can't recall the size... could be 12mm fine thread?? not sure.
