Catfish trailer

This drawing showcases my competition entry, created amidst college commitments. The innovative suspension system works by raising the swing arm when two cranks are turned, lowering the ride height to the ground for easy loading of a catfish while attached to the tow vehicle. Afterward, turning the cranks in the opposite direction and removing them secures the car. Additionally, the trailer can be elevated to access the car's underside. The foldable design features a rear brace, hinged rail sections, and can be sold as a flat-packed trailer for compact storage. While improvements may be necessary, I believe the concept is strong.
