Anyone have thoughts concerning the benefits of Aluminum ATV trailers vs galvanized besides the obvious weight issue? I am considering a galvanized Loadrite ATV 2550 (galvanized) trailer or the Triton SL8 (aluminum). I will be hauling a Sportsman 400 and a Sportsman 700 on the same trailer.

I'm guessing the Triton might be maxed out in terms of weight with these two large ATV's on it.

If anyone has an aluminum trailer, how well does it hold up over time.....any interaction between the Aluminum and Steel, cracks, etc? What manufacturer has a good warranty?

Thanks for the feedback.

 

Go to www.cardinal-sales.com and talk to Roy.

This husband/wife team has impressed me so far...... and I haven't even taken delivery of my trailer.

We got to discussing aluminum v.s. steel and how I've enjoyed my Aluma Lite.....and I think he commented that "everybody goes steel with their first trailer and then hopes they can afford aluminum with their second."

I ordered a 6' X 12' low-slung, tandem axle w/ two brakes; 14 inch tires; aluminum deck/rail and rear drop gate for $2025.

By the way, I've hauled that little aluminum 4 1/2' X 8' with the dinky tires down to H/M and Windrock twice each and put countless other miles on it up in northern WI. and the western Upper Peninsula with absolutely no problems. You just always want to BOLT aluminum in any location that may be slightly unsupported and has a tendency to wobble. If you want an aluminum trailer built like a brick crap house.......you're going to pay for it and will still discover engineering that is market driven. A couple S.S. bolts/aluminum brackets and you've got a trailer that will last a lifetime.
