The all-aluminum 7816 tandem-axle and 7712H single-axle flatbed utility trailers from Aluma feature 14-inch aluminum wheels (standard) with rubber torsion axles and radial tires, aluminum fenders, extruded aluminum floor with front and side retaining rails, LED lighting package and safety chains.

“More and more manufacturers are going to LEDs, but we incorporated that probably five years ago,” says Mike Lloyd, president.

The single-axle trailer has a 77-inch-wide by 142-inch-long bed and the tandem-axle trailer has a 78-inch-wide by 192-inch-long bed. The 7712H weighs about 600 pounds and has a 3,500-pound rubber torsion axle rated at 2,990 pounds. The 7816 weighs 1,150 pounds and can haul about 5,500 pounds.

“Because of the lightweight aluminum construction the trailers are easy to maneuver,” Lloyd says. “You’re also able to carry more. Corrosion and rust resistance are two other benefits.”

The 7816R has two 5-foot pullout ramps with underneath storage, while the 7816T has a tailgate.

“Some people want a tailgate instead of the ramp, but most come with the ramps underneath,” he says.

Both trailers have a swivel tongue jack and ball hitch. The single-axle trailer has a 2-inch hitch; the tandem trailer has a 2 5/16-inch coupler.

The tandem trailer also has drop-down stabilizer legs and electric brakes on both axles. 866/415-3285; www.alumaklm.com.
