Has anyone ever had any experience with "Kwikload" trailers?

Check out a short movie clip showing how to load the trailer.

Goodwork posting those up Russ, we got a fair bit done yesterday/last night.

Yes the side rails have been lowered 90mm, although the guards have dropped on 50mm, as the new guards will be cut flush to the top of the rails instead of sitting under. We wont have any dramas opening door on this trailer!

Were planning to have some toolboxes mounted up front, as well as a couple of Jerry can holders.

Material for the tyre rack has been ordered, should have that done within a week.

Duncan, any chance of some pics of your chain and D-Shackle setup? Sounds good.

trailers like 31 always need fixing

anyway my new trailer turns out the suspension tryed to remove itself lol doddy old repar job

anyway 3 hours and about about 15 tig rods later ( we have suspension again)

yea baby

basically the centre bracket ripped itself off on both sides and the leafs were just flopping around

funny thing is that the trailer towed perfect for the last 3000km

but now its all bouncy and better... also fixed the brakes and its now and even better dream to tow

I remember these when they were first released, Adam (cant think of his last name) had just got the Ford drift car and one of those trailers. Was a nice piece of gear looked good and easy to get the cars on/off, but that was 5+ years ago now. As for towing they used a landcruiser and said they had no troubles.

Sorry no first hand experiance with them myself.

lol @ signature indeed!

You have read it so now I can use it, so look out when I finally get to the track and you have something I like/need :D

Serriously those trailers were a nice piece of kit, however at the time the were way to $$ compared to what else was available.

Yeah, they're pretty expensive... I saw a demo Kwikload trailer advertised on eBay for $7000. Looked the goods though!

What about these ones?

I need a light trailer.... 400kg to 500kg.... and it has to be dual axle for stability.

The place that I got mine made at (www.uniquetrailers.com.au) located at Hoxton Park were about to start making aluminium car trailers the week after I picked up mine (red trailer in the pics). I think the cost for them was going to be about $5k but a fair bit lighter than steel.

Hey fellas,

ended up getting a cheap trailer a month or two ago from http://www.positivequalitytrailers.com/

Not flash, but does the job. Going to replace wheels/tires.

also talked to this guy for a bit - made some nice gear... http://www.blstik.com.au/

I dont have those clearance lights either Neil, infact that trailer looks 99.9% identical to my trailer (I wonder if UniqueTrailers made that and sent it up as they send a truck load up every week).

the guy up there on the sunny coast makes him himself so i guess they are probably built of the same certain plans you buy on ebay and the like! lol

yeah i was thinking about adding some lamps !

Hey Michael I have the exact same trailer. Excellent value for money seems good quality and tow's really well. Just as you said though I will be changing to light truck tyres for extra peice of mind. Other than the tyres i couldn't be happier with it.

    • Me, I would happly spend some more coin on better tyres for my street car  Will they work, yes, of course, but why substitute some dry grip/braking distance, and wet weather grip/braking distance on what is really old tech to save some coin on your "precious" street car In the end it might not be you that farks up, it's the thousands of other idiots on the street that you need to worry about  For a street car that gets some "fun time", I have found that a quality tyre that can handle dry, wet, cold (Canberra gets pretty cold) and hot conditions, which may costs a little more, is great insurance  From my experience with them (driving around Goulburn in the winter) the RE003's are pretty poor in cold and/or wet conditions on the street If RS4's didn't hate gripping in the cold I would be running them always on the street,  great in the dry, OK in the wet, but, they do hate the cold, with a passion, I run PS5's year round now, basically, I've found the PS5 to be a great year round street tyre for all conditions, they last well, and are mid range pricing wise TL;DR. Tyre choice is probably like what brand and grade oil you should use, ask 10 people, and get 10 different answers... LOL
