Thread: Trailer recommendations

I think any of the NZ manufactured, (not to be confused with assembled) will fit the bill. South Island trailers to buy are either Helmack(Supreme) or Briford.
A lot of imported,NZ assembled trailers are using inferior materials, and sometimes wheel bearings etc are odd ball sizes, or made of unobtainium. Axles aren’t overly strong either. .
Also consider brakes... most unbraked towbars are only rated to 750kg. A 300 kg trailer doesn’t leave much of a payload. And insurance will use it to get out of paying out if she’s merging should happen. Police are also starting to look hard at this now to.
