Extremely impressed with this trailer and glad to be rid of the aluminum framed trailer. I thought it was what I wanted, but I just couldn't shake the thought out of my head as to when the frame was going to crack.
Do you run a steel chassis on your sled then too?
I'm sorry, I know that sounded like a smart azz remark, but I honestly do not think that a high end Aluminum trailer is more likely to fail that it's steel counterpart.
I simply have not seen ANY issues with either of my Aluma trailers.
I have a friend running a low grade aluminum trailer & he hasn't seen any issues either.
Should there be any issues, it is repairable, just as is steel.
I think we can agree to disagree on this one!
You are correct.
Here is a blurb from their website to clear up my comment:
Next a phosphatizing conversion coating is applied. Phosphating is used to treat various metals (mainly steel) to impart corrosion resistance and to promote the adhesion of finishes such as primer and paint. Chemical etching of galvanized and steel surfaces allows formation of a non-metallic phosphate layer. Phosphating treatments provide a coating of insoluble metal-phosphate crystals that adhere strongly to the base metal. It also prevents electrical corrosion between environment and base metal. In the phosphating process, acid attacks the metal surface, forming a protective coating of iron or zinc phosphate salts. This allows for better corrosion resistance and primer and paint adhesion.
