Handy Little Trailer,
September 2, 2009
By HWJones
from Goldsboro, North Carolina
"I purchased this trailer about 7 years ago. I built a wooden body for the trailer with low sides, 11.5" and add-on high rack sides 30" high. and a removable tailgate. This trailer has moved most of my house possessions, takes garbage to the transfer station every week and does all my routine hauling from the home center to the house. I have also used it several times to transport materials over the highway from my parent's home in New York to my place. I also hook it up to my lawn tractor and use it for yard work. This trailer has never given me any trouble (just a shot of grease in the wheels every now and then), has far exceeded anything that it was advertised to be capable of doing and was worth every penny that it costs. If you need to haul stuff, don't want to buy a truck and don't have a lot of room to store a trailer, this little one is the ticket!"

Great trailer,
March 23, 2009
By dazza1608
from Hot Springs, AR
"This is just what the doctor ordered. I have a small car and this trailer tows nicely behind it. I added sides and then modified it to carry a canoe and some camping equipment. When it isn't hauling camping/fishing gear it is great to haul compost or dirt or what ever. I agree that some of the bolts are a little hard to get to, but that problem faded fast when I found how useful this trailer was. I even managed to haul a 52" projector style TV in it."

Utility Trailer,
November 17, 2008
By newbie
from NJ
"Excellent trailer. Very easy to assemble. I've attached a set of cross bars to it instead of a plywood bed for hauling kayaks, sailboards, and bikes. It has performed beautifully on family trips with my gear. I will easily be able to remove the crossbars and add a deck when needed for hauling stuff to the dump. I'm very pleased with this purchase."

Smooth Riding,
September 24, 2008
By BikerBen
from Ohio
"I bought my back in June and I must say that it's working out great. It is such a
smooth ride on my motorcycle. I didn't rush putting together because I wanted
to follow the direction clearly. I painted it black to match my bike and added ply-
wood for travel bags. The price was great for my budget. I really enjoy it.
Thanks"

Great little trailer,
August 14, 2008
By TrapperBob
from Northern Minnesota
"Bolted it together in about 3 1/2 hours. Could have done it in 2 1/2 if I'd have paid closer attention to the directions. Very solid for as light as it is. Stands on end in the garage when not in use and takes up almost no room. The quality was considerably better than I expected for the price."

Good Little Trailer,
July 10, 2008
By RedmanNC
from Fayetteville, NC
"This comes in two boxes and goes together quite fast. The published size shrinks rapidly though , if you choose to install the stake sides which are not included. Instructions for attaching the plywood bed also fail to note that you must cut out notches on each side to accomodate where the stakes will fit into the steel channels. Depending on how you construct it, the stake sides will reduce the usable width by three inches and the length by 1/ 1/2" to 3". If you wanty to build the stake bed with a removeable tailgate you will also need one other accessory that is not included to hold the ends of the tailgate to the sides.
For us, the loss of width made it impractical for hauling a number of 24 inch wide boxes, so we ended up going to a 4x6 with a full 48"."

utility cart,
April 13, 2008
By Leelah
from Alberta, Canada
"Purchased this cart as a build on unit, i.e. never intended to use it as purchased. Overall quality of steel is okay, what you'd expect for 110 lbs, but the bolting is awkward, especially in the corners. The wiring is of very poor quality as the bake cracks and chips from the wire when stripping. To grow this little red cart in to a quad carrier is easy. Go to your local dealer and get a shipping frame; typically 8X4 light grade steel. Overlay on this little cart for balance; use two wooden bunks, 2x4 cut at 48 inches, where the crate is missing spanners.
You'll need to extend the shaft by 45-50 inches; no weld needed bolting will work if you use L-shaped stock or open-faced stock wider than original shaft; set the balance of the frame and the and the tongue balance is fine. Assembles quickly even with the additions. Great dollar value, even when shipped here to Canada."

Great Trailer Kit,
January 15, 2008
By Whenwe
from Dayton, OH
"The trailer arrived with no parts missing or damaged and was assembled very easily with no modifications necessary. It is well finished and looks to be strong enough to do the job it was designed for. Registering it in Ohio was simple because of the supplied documentation and no weighing was required.
I am very pleased I bought this trailer.
A caution: make sure the frame is absolutely square before tightening all bolts and measuring to fit it with a body."
