How to Use Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier for A-Frame Trailers with Equalizer WDH?

Question:
Hello- In have a questions regarding the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 300 lbs Part Number: CC-255. Upon installation, my Equalizer tension bars are up against the Trailer Tray post brackets. They are within 3/8 of hitting. I am not sure of the bars slide along their support bracket, and if they do, then this will not work. What can be done to rectify this? I have a few pics I can send to show you what I am talking about. Thanks!

Hello Carlos,
It sounds like you’re running into a pretty common challenge with the Stromberg Carlson # CC-255 trailer tray and an Equal-i-zer weight distribution setup. The tray’s vertical posts mount right on the A-frame, and that just happens to be the same area where your spring bars need room to swing and slide during towing. Since your bars are already within about 3/8 of an inch of the posts, there’s a good chance they’ll make contact once you hit bumps in the road or take a sharp turn.
The good news is there are a few ways to work around this. Sometimes the tray can be shifted forward on the frame toward the coupler, which creates more space for the bars. In other cases, raising the tray a little higher helps the bars clear underneath, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your propane tanks or other components.
If this does not do the trick, please respond directly to the email you receive with the pictures you mentioned. If you did get it figured out, what did you do that fixed the issue?
