Have done all my quotes etc for a new sharkcat trailer.
Most companies clearly make too much money cause they couldn't be bothered to quote for the job.
transtyle trailers 10.5k (2.5t) aluminium bolted together with stainless bolts???(I beam chassis and Rubber torsion axles, american kodiak brake system but what about corrosion issues stainless/aluminium)???
7.5k for barracuda boat trailers 3T glv steel(cheapest set of brakes and brakeaway(aussie), import chinese frame and maybe components(parrallel bearings) and he won't upgrade anything at all for anyone!!!!!).
9.9K gold coast trailers galv steel?? probably quality trailer and components
about 5 more all $10kish
Any reviews on barracuda trailers would be appreciated!!!
Any trailer builders on here want a go at quoting for it?
cost for me to make about 2 maybe 4 days and 4 cartons for offsider.
$2k for steel and cutting board for slides and guides.
$2k for welder, gas, dropsaw and blades.
$3k for axles brakes etc.(full stainless calipers and rotors, sensabrake breakaway)
Then probably about $1.5k to galv it
Can you see my dilemma??? Really super simple trailer to make.
and myself making it is no probs at all really
