Ultra-Tow 5ft. x 8ft. Aluminum Utility Trailer Kit — 1715-Lb. Load Capacity

As a child, my favorite toy was a Gilbert Erector Set. Receiving this trailer kit, I was like a big kid on Christmas morning opening a giant erector set. There were no missing parts, all the holes lined-up, and my trailer came together just as it was supposed to.One concern I had going in was that the instructions would have me do most of the assembly with the unit upside-down. Then I was to flip it over onto its wheels to do the final touches. Being older than dirt and working alone, I was concerned about that "flipping" part. So I elected to do the entire assembly with the unit right side up. Using a half-dozen 16" concrete blocks standing on end to support the unit during assembly, I was able to put it together alone and not worry about my ancient body coming apart in the process. What a blast! If it were up to me, I'd rewrite the instruction manual.My only negative report - and I won't take away any stars for this - this is a Chinese product. I didn't realize that until i received the title in the mail. If I had known, I would have looked for another, but... I still love my trailer.Now I need to put on my woodworker's hat and build the bed and sidewalls.Mostly, I'll be pulling this trailer with my Chevy Impala, making trips to the neighborhood Home Depot, Lowes, and garden supply center. It appears to be up to any task that I am.Hope this helps...Old Web Guy

All the pieces were there, everything lined up perfectly and easy to assemble. For what the trailer is, it’s perfect for what I need. Lightweight but plenty of carrying capacity. After assembled I welded it all together which strengthened it more but wasn’t absolutely necessary. I’ll buy another one.

Purchased primarily to haul a Harley but also for general utility use. The kit was complete and easy to assemble. The finished product is higher weight rated than the ready to use units available at either home improvement store on our Caribbean island. Very happy with it so far.

The trailer went together in about 4 hours, working alone. The packaging was barely adequate - all of the boxes were in rough shape, though nothing was lost. The hardware pack, which was inside a small carton inside the outer carton, had broken open, and spilled all through the inner carton. One washer had gone missing, or was never packed. The aluminum taillight "guards" were pretty well bent up, and flimsy at best. I straightened them bare handed to pretty close to what they should have been, which tells me that they will collapse as soon as anything brushes up against them. I was surprised that stake pockets were not included, although the rails were punched to take them. Overall, the trailer seems sturdy enough.

Light weight, sturdy, and easy to put together.

I dislike that the ad says nowhere that the trailer can't go over 45 mph, I feel duped. Claiming that this trailer is road ready and can hit the road as soon as it's assembled is simply not true. In this state, California, trailers are required to be registered with the DMV and licensed. While it comes with a certificate of origin you still have to register it. My biggest problem is the 45 mph issue, this means it can never go on the highway or freeway. Also to return it they want me to pay the shipping, I was quoted over $500 for the cheapest freight to ship it, and since I feel like I was duped by a bait and switch I am really PO by this.

The Assembly Was Easy, The Frame Is Great, I Think The Axle And Bearings Look a Little Light, But We'll See What Goes With Use.

Nice light trailer for the price.
