Please read all directions prior to installation. The Trailer
Tray may not work on all trailers. Confirm fit and clearance
prior to drilling any holes. Installation takes approximately
1 hour, and should be a 2-person project, due to the sturdy
construction and weight of the tray itself.

Trailer Tray
Model: CC-255 Patent Pending
Trailer Tongue Mounted Trailer Tray
CC-255 Patent Pending
Check the frame pocket mounting locations for interferences
such as wiring, battery, battery tray, equalizer brackets, etc. Most
of these items can be relocated or reinstalled after the frame
pockets are installed, as the pockets do not take up much space.
If you have propane tanks installed at the intended tray location,
one of three things can be done to allow you to remove your
tanks for refill or to access valves without removing the tray.
1. Replace your tank cover with a soft vinyl cover, allowing you to
access valves or to remove tanks without tray removal.
2. Replace your tank cover with a flip top hard plastic cover to
access your valves. You will still need to remove the tray to
remove cover and refill LP tanks.
3. Leave the tank cover off for direct access to your tanks.
Installation Instructions
Mount lower pockets (Figure F) and lower pocket back plates
(Figure G) on your trailer frame (loosely, so adjustments can be
made later) using 5/16” x 4” hardware (Figure K).
Make sure the pockets are about 2”- 3” from trailer body.
Mount pockets on the outside of trailer frame and back
plates on inside of trailer frame, as shown on page 2.
Bolts can be installed in either direction. Secure through the
holes that are most close-fitting to your trailer frame top and
bottom edge.
Attach the trailer tray plates (Figure I) to the sides of the trailer tray
(Figure A), using 3/8” x 3/4” hardware (Figure M).
Loosely attach the upper pockets (Figure E) to the trailer tray
plates, using 5/16” x 1” hardware (Figure L).
Insert either end of the vertical tubes (Figure B) into the frame
pockets. With a second person stabilizing the tray, rotate the
vertical tubes to allow the upper pockets to slide onto the tubes.
If necessary, adjust the upper pocket location on the trailer tray
plates so the tray is 1”- 2” away from your trailer’s front wall and
tighten attachment hardware.
Secure vertical tubes in the upper and lower pockets using
provided hardware (Figures N and O), as shown on page 2.
Drill 3/8” holes through the vertical tubes for this hardware,
once you verify turn radius/clearance.
For accuracy purposes, we suggest you mark hole locations
and remove the tubes from the assembly prior to drilling.
Drill through each tube halfway only, then from the other
side halfway. Reassemble and tighten hardware, checking
that the trailer tray is still 1”- 2” from the front trailer wall.
Sandwiching your frame, connect the lower mount (Figure H) to
the lower support mount (Figure D) using 5/16” x 8” hardware
(Figure J). Attach loosely, to allow for adjustment.
Attach upper support mount (Figure C) and lower support mount
(Figure D) using 5/16” x 1” hardware (Figure L).
Attach upper support mount to trailer tray (Figure A) using
5/16” x 1” hardware (Figure L), adjusting lower mount location to
allow for proper attachment. Tighten all hardware.
Please note, the tray has several tie-down eyelets on the edges and
numerous holes in the tray top to secure your cargo.
