If you’re considering purchasing an all-aluminium cargo trailer, but aren’t fully sure if it’s worth the cost, read on. We’re confident you’ll see the value in choosing an aluminium frame cargo trailer, especially one manufactured right here in the USA from Trailers LLC.

Benefits of Choosing All Aluminium

While the prices of aluminium and other metals fluctuate with supply and demand, aluminium is generally more expensive than steel. On the other hand, aluminium can offer benefits that steel does not.

1. Resistant to Corrosion

Unlike steel, aluminium doesn’t rust. It also doesn’t have a coating that can wear off over time, leaving it vulnerable to the elements of Mother Nature. By contrast, steel requires occasional painting or treatment to protect it from rust and corrosion.

2. Lightweight

The great thing about steel is that it is very strong. However, it’s also very heavy. Steel is around 2.5 times denser than aluminium, making it considerably heavier and adding a considerable amount to your GVW.

Choosing a more lightweight (yet still durable) material can help with your vehicle’s fuel economy, and many aluminium trailer owners say it can make for a much smoother ride. Plus, with the lighter weight of the aluminium trailer, your payload capacity will be greater since you can load more cargo in the trailer before reaching the maximum weight.

3. Repairs May be Easier

Aluminium is more malleable than steel, making it a bit easier to work with. While steel frames are very strong and can withstand a lot of weight before they bend, that makes them more difficult to repair even for the most skilled technicians. Aluminium, however, doesn’t require as much force to bend. So although aluminium may be “weaker” in one sense, it is a stronger metal in another sense because it can be reshaped and repaired with less effort.

4. Pricing

The prices of our Elite All Aluminium Cargo Trailers can vary by model, but we’re confident you’ll find all of our prices to be reasonable for the level of quality we offer. Although aluminium frame cargo trailers tend to be priced slightly higher than their steel frame counterparts, many customers discover the cost to be well worth the added durability.

5. Sizes

We have Elite All Aluminium Cargo Trailers in sizes ranging from 5 to 8.5 feet in width and from 8 feet to 50 feet in length. We likely have a size that will work for your personal cargo needs or your small business.
