Aluma Aluminum Utility Trailers…10 Benefits of Aluminum Over Steel

Aluma Aluminum Utility Trailers…10 Benefits of Aluminum Over Steel

Looking for a trailer to haul your ATV, car or motorcycle?  Or maybe a trailer for your jobsite?  Whatever your reason for needing a trailer, Aluma has the model for you.  There are a lot of different trailers to choose from though, so why aluminum and why Aluma?  What do you need to consider before making a decision?  There are steel trailers, aluminum trailers, open and enclosed trailers.  Here are the top 10 reasons to consider an aluminum trailer, and more specifically, an aluminum trailer built by Aluma!

1. No rust!!  This says a lot all by itself.  Aluminum doesn’t rust like steel.  With no rust, your trailer will look good with less maintenance for many years!
2. Light weight. In this day of higher gas prices, many people like hauling with smaller vehicles that have a lower tow capacity.  So the weight of the trailer is important to keep the total weight of trailer plus load in a safe range for many vehicles.  And even if you aren’t limited by the capacity of your tow vehicle, why pull more weight than you have to?  The more weight you pull, the lower the resulting gas mileage and the higher the resulting expenses.
3. No paint to scratch or chip. Paint can look nice when it’s new but along comes reality bringing with it dents, scratches, and chips from those unpleasant mistakes.  With an aluminum trailer, there is no paint, so with some basic care, your trailer can look as good as the day you bought it. A simple acid wash can shine up your trailer in no time.  You might have an aluminum enclosed trailer that has painted aluminum siding, but this siding is pre-painted by the manufacturer of the aluminum, creating a very hard final product.  The paint adheres to the surface better and stands up to wear and tear much better.  Even with a scratch, no rust can bubble up through!
4. Aluminum trailers look sharp! I don’t think I need to explain this one!  No matter what model you choose, your rig will look sharp going down the road.
5. No wooden floor to maintain. Most of Aluma’s 60 different models have an extruded aluminum floor, requiring little maintenance on your part.  The few exceptions include a treated marine tech plywood floor as added protection for hauling snowmobiles or watercraft.
6. Years of worry-free maintenance. Without the worry of rust build-up, scratches in the paint, or wooden boards to replace, you’ll have more time for that motorcycle you haul or for the work at the jobsite that makes you money!
7. As strong as or more durable than steel. Quality aluminum trailers built by Aluma result in a product as strong as steel.  Remember to take into account the size and thickness of the aluminum used when building any aluminum trailer.  Inspect the quality of the welds also.  With an Aluma trailer, you can be assured that their research and design results in a trailer you’ll be proud to own.
8. Over 50 different models to choose from. With that many choices, you’re sure to find the trailer that best suits your needs.   Aluma is always adding to its trailer line up.
9. Great investment and resale value. Should you eventually need to upgrade to a different model, your Aluma trailer will maintain its resale value.  Special features on many makes and models make Aluma trailers a great investment.
10. Great financing!
11. 5 Year Warranty, best in the industry! Aluma takes pride in their exclusive 5-year warranty and exceptional customer service.
