Hi mate,

Not sure if this is near you but go see the guys at Victorian Trailers in Thomastown. Good quality built trailers and reasonable prices as well. I have had mine for 5 years and still solid as it was when new.

Only problem I see is that it is a large, heavy duty single axle that probably weighs between 350 and 400 kg out of the 750 kg limit. Quarter a meter of rock or soil would put you oand ver the limit, ok if you are going to carry light boxes of stuff. Personally I would look at a breaked tandem at that size, give you 2000 kg limit

Gonna be entertaining watching you launch your boat of a cage trailer mate.
It's a novel concept.

Can get 1/2 mt soil or rocks in a 7x5 trailer but mainly for green waste and tools etc

Both look like Chinese imports, you don't know if the galvanizing's any good and I wouldn't buy a "heavy duty" trailer with a bolted on drawbar.
