Cheaper isn't Always Better
The internet can be a great place to find similar goods at low prices; but buyer beware when considering a product from a company without a well-known reputation for quality and integrity. This photo album documents a comparison between a trailer purchased from Georgia, and a quality built steel trailer. At the time of these photographs, the trailer from Georgia is only four months old. Don't end up with buyer's remorse - or a long drive to get your warranty issues addressed.
TRAILER FROM GEORGIA MFG
QUALITY BUILT CROSS TRAILER
The photo does the talking on this one; the mainframe consists of short chunks of I-beam stitched together.
What your mainframe should look like; fully tubular all the way from the A-frame to the beavertail
A side door is only as strong as it's hinge.
This sectioned piano hinge will withstand years of abuse.
This Flooring Cross member was cut out and patched back together
This is what flooring cross members should look like, solid and undercoated to prevent corrosion.
A series of loose wires and cheap scotch lock connectors make up this trailer's lighting harness
Wiring Harness Loomed; no loose wires and no visible wiring connectors.
This D-ring completely missed the backing plate; the scary part is someone saw this when they tightened the nuts
Proper D-ring installation for the safe transport of your cargo.
Your Trailer Roof starts like this. Galvanized sections seamed together every 48".
And ends like this, needing to be Sealed Every Year !
