Where to buy box trailer in Sydney.

Is anyone able to recommend any good trailer sales places. I'm after a new box trailer, probably tandem, with cage, approx 8x5. Been looking on Google and eBay but most seem to be Brisbane or Melbourne based, not Sydney. Thx

ATA Trailers, Warrior Place St Marys. Been around for years. They make them to your specs and make a lot for government departments

Hi Ryzz, I had a custom box trailer done by Tracer Trailers, they used to be down in Cromer,. The Dad retired, and I believe they are in North Narrabeen now?

What ever trailer you end up buying, I would not recommend one that has been painted in Hammertone or Hammer finish as it's sometimes called.
This stuff looks good when new but quickly fades and chips very easy after a year or two when left outside, which most are.
Try and get something with either an enamel finish, or spend a few more dollars and get one that has been galvanised, dipped not just painted.
I had a Mario Trailers 7'x5' box a while back and when I sold it after owning it for only a few years it looked very second hand.
I always look after my stuff and it was covered with a good quality tarp when not in use, but the Hammertone paint just started to look terrible.

I inherited a hammertone Mario used for one trip. It did chip easliy, and after 7 years outside uncovered, the rear cross member has rusted completely through. Started where they drilled through for the numberplate light. The hinges have also rusted shut and one has snapped off. Its probably un-roadworthy now. Up until then it was a good trailer towed straight and true even at high speed.

Also Classic Trailers at Taren Point. I have a 22 year old Gal .offroad model from Austrailers at Moorebank. It has been all over Aus, including the Cape, various deserts etc behind a whole range of 4x4s. It is as new but has always been kept under cover. Neil

if you can afford it get it galvanised we have a ten year old from western trailers at granvile. we got it hot dipped galvanised
this is used for work always stored outside most common load is sand, gravel or old concrete or bricks still looks like only 1 or 2 year old no rust
only repairs have been wheel bearings and springs due to regulary being over loaded!
