Trailer to bike trailer conversion ?

Might sound like a stupid question but Ive just bought a 6ft x 4ft aluminium trailer with a 400 kg load capacity, its predominately going to be used for my landscaping buisness but I would like to be able to offer a bike transporter service, so what would I need to add to the trailer to make it a goer ? Im planning to convert it into a box trailer with enough height to be able to walk in plus have some tie down loops in the floor, do I need anything else ?
Thanks

Hoop or securing mechanism for front wheel to sit in? Could be made removable. But otherwise no, people who shift them in vans just use tie downs and ratchets.

hmm wheel slots and straping points maybe adjustable wheel slots if you could make them and thats about it realy

Yep, sorry thought of that one should have added it but thanks

Would a winch be a bit ott ?

hmm not realy as bikes can be a pain to get on to a trailer but depends how high off the floor the trailer is, if its say tranny van floor height then could come in handy if its controlable enough so you dont have to push it up the ramp

but if its a low down trailer then no point

Cool,thanks. the trailer has landing legs to keep it steady if required when loading, tbh I'd be more inclined to stick a loading ramp on it and raise that instead of messing about trying to load a bike onto an angled trailer. Just kinda want to offer a good service, not be a cowboy etc

i used to use a paddock stand, strap up the front brake and racket the bike down

now use a van in the same manner

well in that case go with the loading ramp, we met the bloke i got my bike off half way and his trailer was a propper bike one but dident have a loading ramp had to use a bit off wood so a loading ramp would be just the thing

Cheers guys, thats a bit of food for thought, mates rates all round then
