Used Boat Trailers For Sale

Used boat trailers come in a variety of sizes to suit most boats. For example, the number of rib rollers can be between 24 and 40. Similarly, gross weights and capacity can vary widely to cater for all sizes of boat. Therefore, gross weights tend to go from 750kg right up to as much as 3500kg. Capacity tends to range from around 600kg up to 2900-3000kg. Finally, in terms of the variety of sizes available, length capacity stretches from 5 metres at the lower end of the scale, up to 10 metres.

Small boat second hand trailers are ideal for smaller sized vessels and also the likes of jet skis. All frames should be fully welded and most will be hot dip galvanised – this protects against corrosion. Similarly, the majority will feature torsion beam axles and bearings that are waterproof, which is essential to ensure a long life for second hand boat trailers. You should definitely enquire about whether bearings are waterproof. Most will be, but it will ensure that your trailer is virtually maintenance free.

Note that the trailer weight determines the weight of boat that can be carried. For example, a trailer weight of 175kg would be able to handle a vessel weight of around 580kg.
