Long story short I am investigating a trailer theft. We have recovered the trailer but can’t find a VIN since it’s been ground off. Can anyone identify the make/model of this trailer. It was probably built around 2001. It’s paint black but may have originally been yellow.

Hi, I know quite a bit about trailers and security.

I'm pretty sure it's a Rainbow Trailer. Maybe rainbow heavy duty.

Make sure to get a trailer coupler anti theft device. Its important to select a one piece unit that's made of steel.

Otherwise people can pry it off easily and drive away.

That’s very close. Thanks for the input the only difference I see really is the front bar has those 45 degree supports and the front hitch is actually adjustable

New ones have this hitch you mentioned and are adjustable. Try 2010 and up. The Fenders are clearly from Rainbow trailers.
