Buyer beware
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.
Side by side

Where Cheap Trailers Cut Corners
Mainframe
✕ Cheap trailer
The photo does the talking on this one: the mainframe consists of short chunks of I-beam stitched together.
✓ Built right
What your mainframe should look like: fully tubular all the way from the A-frame to the beavertail.
Side door hinge
✕ Cheap trailer
A side door is only as strong as its hinge.
✓ Built right
This sectioned piano hinge will withstand years of abuse.
Floor cross members
✕ Cheap trailer
This flooring cross member was cut out and patched back together.
✓ Built right
What flooring cross members should look like: solid and undercoated to prevent corrosion.
Wiring harness
✕ Cheap trailer
A series of loose wires and cheap scotch lock connectors make up this trailer’s lighting harness.
✓ Built right
Wiring harness loomed: no loose wires and no visible wiring connectors.
D-rings
✕ Cheap trailer
This D-ring completely missed the backing plate. The scary part: someone saw this when they tightened the nuts.
✓ Built right
Proper D-ring installation for the safe transport of your cargo.
The roof
No Seams on Our Roofs
✕ Seamed roof
Your trailer roof starts like this: galvanized sections seamed together every 48″.
✕ A year later
And ends like this, needing to be sealed every year.
A no-seam, one-piece aluminum roof is all we sell.
