Thread: Trailer recommendations

I’m after recommendations for a trailer company that does good quality trailers.

To sum it up, either after. 7x5 or 8x5 with a tail ramp, single axel, wooden deck with extra tie downs on the inside.
Mainly to cart around my quad, but also for generic domestic use.
Now I see there are plenty of tilt trailers that could moot the need for a tail ramp, but a tail ramp is easier for the wife to manage as well as her loading up the quad.

I can see the add ons like cage, jockey wheel and spare tyres are all pretty much the same across the range.

Scrolling through trade me, I see not all are created equal with a few of them assembled in NZ vs manufactured in NZ.
So apart from recommendations if anyone has any experience, good or bad with what’s out there.
Cheers.

I had one built just like you are talking a good one is not cheap I've had mine for about 4 years and it's awesome.
Built by burkhart farm machinery in Taranaki. They make quilty stuff but mainly farm trailers, mine has a tilt and a cage which holds 3 cube of firewood.
I can take photos if you want to see what it's like.

Had my trayla trailer for 15 years now. Steel work is still good. Had a second deck(wood). Not manufactures fault though.

Maybe the best modular/bolt together trailer, but not overall.

I have a Kea 8x5 and based on my recent view of what is available around Auckland I would buy the same again.

A lot of the manufactures these days are making the draw bars too short (trying to save on steel??) which effects towing and makes them too responsive when reversing.
I use mine to tow my quad and only run two tie down straps - on dead centre in the front and one dead centre in the back. Rack it down and it never moves even after a 6hr tow down country.
The draw bar is long enough that I have made an angle iron frame which is bolted on top of the draw bar A frame and holds my 130L ice chest for meat recovery.

I bought a Titan trailer 2 years ago, was the best value for money I could find, pretty happy with it.

Tuff trailer. Go at it.
