open stacker project

I know this is a totally different approach, but with all the work going into the cantilever setup, why not just make the trailer longer, stack the 2 Razors across the front, one on top of the other and then put the truck behind to help balance the tongue weight? That way, if your tow vehicle changes, you've got essentially an open platform to put it in. You'd eliminate all the cantilevering issues, make it easy to enclose the Razors for better protection and be able to load or unload each as an individual item. You only want the top Razor? No problem, unload only it. You would also lower your CG and not have to have any hydraulics or winches unless you just want something as a back up solution. Any ramps needed for the Razors would simply slide in under the truck. It doesn't look like you'd be adding that much to the overall length.
