Work in progress(WIP) Maiden voyage !!

Stick as in manual transmission ?

Wonderswell! The only problem I see is unloading at 8 different homes.

Pick you up a used trailer. Like an old bass boat trailer. The sell cheapo. Many have a 3500 pound axle.

I paid $200 for this one, it's a hoss and made of heavy steel. Could a built a rail around it and filled 60 gallon plastic drums cut in half with handles cut in them.
Hard to beat a 55/60 gallon plastic drum cut in half with 2 handle holes skill sawed into them. I get the used drums for $8 at a drum recycler.
They last 30 years in the sun. Or you can weld a 1/2 pipe tee handle to the adjusting screw of a pair of vice grips and carry them by clamping the vice grip on to the top edge of the drum half.

No way to add a winch or come-a-long up top so that you could load your yellow forklift thingy on the back to use for unloading? May be too much additional weight?

I would just add a hf truck bed crane to the trailer and call it a day. odds are good you will be unloading at places where one of them cranes with little tires wont roll anyway.

or build your own its not super complicated. some square tube a jack and hand winch.  you can make it longer to reach front and back. back in swing it out set it on the ground and off you go.

Thanks notjustone and 1dave.

I will bet that a friend(or two) will want to go sit with me. Downtown Atlanta always has something going on.
A comfortable chair, cold beer and some good girl watching glasses and I will own them.
Getting them off the bottom shelf is a one man-er. No problem there.
That top shelf would be the challenge. The lighter pits would go up there.
Betting we could muscle them.

I just delivered a heavy 48 inch one to a peculiar place.
Way back in the woods on at the end long dead in street. A man calling himself a concierge helped me(kinda) unload.
Never seen so many surveillance cameras in my life. Lots of workers, I was asked not to make any noise, hmmm.
thousands of little flags in the extensive pastures. Looks like they were marking common weeds.
There was something going on at that place.

The 36 inch are about 150 pounds. It is the 42 and 48 inch ones that get your attention.

The freight company guys were impressed Wigglin. Their trailers certain dwarf this one. The forklift operator Rico was impressed with ease of unload.
I ordered two banners, 3' X 8' with a 7' X 2' fire pit on it(my logo) with web site name on it.
Trailer is almost 7' tall, banners will be 11' high above trailer. will have to remember it's back there when going thru drive-thru.
Now I got to buy some 1.5 and 2.5 inch thick wall steel tubing and rearrange the cubicles, like remove a couple of posts and reinforce from the load in/load out side.
I had 8 sales last week but could not get the two 48" pits and the one 54" pit on at same time. For some reason they like to buy my biggest.
Suites me, a 30" pit is about the same amount of work as the big ones.

I would also think your freight has a bit more invested in their trailers . Been watching progress on your trailer without commenting . Looked like my penny and a half wasn't necessary . Very well thought out and built trailer . How are you tying the pits down ? Now you need to sell your customers some kindling splitters to go along with the pits . I think I sent you a pic of the ones I build , if not , I can send ya one .
