Q: Can I use an aluminum trailer for heavy-duty work?
A: Yes, Ambush trailers are built for heavy-duty work, using a 6″ tube A-frame, torsion axles, radial tires, and high payload capacities that allow them to haul construction equipment, commercial cargo, and machinery with confidence. At the same time, their lightweight aluminum build and low-profile design make them equally practical for recreational hauling like ATVs, UTVs, and other outdoor gear. In short, they’re versatile trailers designed for both tough job-site use and weekend adventure.

Q: Aluminum vs. steel trailers – what should I choose?
A: Choosing between an aluminum and steel open trailer largely depends on your needs, but aluminum offers clear advantages for most everyday and recreational haulers. Its lightweight, rust-resistant, and low-maintenance design makes towing easier and keeps the trailer looking great through Minnesota’s harsh seasons. While steel is stronger for extreme heavy-duty jobs, aluminum delivers excellent durability without the extra weight, upkeep, or long-term repair costs. For most homeowners and frequent haulers, aluminum is the smarter, more reliable long-term investment.

Q: Are aluminum trailers as strong as steel trailers?
A: If they’re built right, they are stronger than steel.
