Aluminum trailers do it better: hauling cargo, withstanding weather, lasting for years, naturally resisting corrosion, and safely hitching on to more tow vehicles than steel models of the same size.  It's easier to own an ALCOM aluminum trailer because you don't have to worry about rust or overloading your vehicle's tow capacity -- and we have a North American dealer network that spans from coast to coast! 

ALCOM makes it easy to own your ideal aluminum trailer. Choose open models, enclosed models, dump and livestock models and specialty units like an ice fishing shack or sport deck for snowmobile hauling in a pickup truck bed. Our huge dealer network across North America lets you connect with the right trailer for your needs, when and where you need it.

Advantages of Aluminum Trailers

First, and for some folks, most importantly: aluminum is naturally immune to rust. If you’re hauling near the ocean or on salted winter roads, this is really good news. If you hate rust and it’s eating up your current trailer, upgrade to aluminum and avoid the inevitable destruction that comes when rust spots appear on a trailer. 

Rust is a specific type of corrosion, and it only affects iron and iron alloys – like steel. Rust is flaky, and will eat away at the metal to create weak spots and holes over time. Aluminum does undergo a specific, unique type of corrosion, but this type is protective. Aluminum forms an invisible layer of aluminum oxide on its surface when exposed to air. Instead of flaking and weakening the underlying metal, this layer becomes a shield against further attack by water or air. Aluminum’s natural properties make it long-lasting and durable for our snowmobile trailers, utility trailers, cargo trailers, car haulers and more. 

Aluminum is also lighter than steel – around one-third its weight, with a superior strength-to-weight ratio. What does that mean for you? An aluminum trailer will be significantly lighter than a steel trailer of the same size. This is good for your tow vehicle, because a lighter trailer creates less wear and tear on the vehicle hauling it. Reduced weight also saves wear and tear on the trailer itself; the axles and tires have a lighter load to support over miles of adventure on the open road.

Lighter trailers also safely hitch on to more tow vehicles. Our wide array of sizes and models, combined with naturally lighter aluminum construction, lets more tow vehicles match up with an aluminum trailer. Consider important safety factors, like matching your vehicle's towing capacity to the trailer you choose.
