Aluma Utility Trailer Thoughts?

[turbocruiser]

Fine folks, I was not sure whether to put this here or in home improvement but I am thinking about getting an aluma utility trailer for an all purpose trailer that meets several specific criteria. Does anyone here have any experience with these? Thanks.

Sorry, I don't have anything to say about the Aluma, but I have owned an aluminum trailer for about 6 years and if you will state your criteria I might be able to comment constructively about if you will be happy with your choice.... or not.

Here's mine:

There are other pics scattered around the website....

I know one thing... compared to when I bought mine, the cost of aluminum has skyrocketed and it's no longer a cost effective option if you are counting dollars.

I got this one. Model 486.



I like it. I do nothing but abuse it and it follows along nicely.

I mentioned it in this thread

Very cool Paul, thanks for that. I ordered a 6310 H which is 63 inches wide, 10 feet long and the H is for heavy duty. The thing weighs about 400 pounds, can carry 2600 pounds and will never rust, need painting, or need maintaining. It has the EZ Lube Torsion Axles so it will be wonderfully smooth ride without the need to R&R the hubs, wheels or wheel bearings. I'm glad to hear that you can abuse these things a little; I always associate aluminum as a fragile metal but the construction technique seems super strong. Thanks again.
