Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose aluminium for your trailers?

Aluminium is an incredibly reliable choice when it comes to your custom trailer. This is because aluminium possesses many of the desirable properties in a material. For one, aluminium is resistant to corrosion, which makes it suitable for use across a range of terrains. Aluminium is also impermeable and odourless, which lends to great long-term protection and durability. It is also very lightweight which makes it perfect for travel. Despite this, the material proves to be very tactile and dependable during use.

What is involved in the custom fabrication process?

The custom fabrication process at Rod’s Engineering and Lifetime Trailers is simple and clear-cut—no pun intended. The process is mainly comprised of measuring out, designing, cutting out and assembling each of the metal parts that will make up the custom trailer. As custom fabricators, attention to detail is held throughout the process, even as we carefully drill and weld each part together to create the end product that you envisioned. What starts out as simple aluminium sheets end up as your own bespoke trailer ready for you to use as you see fit.

What are the uses of a custom aluminium trailer?

One of the main advantages of investing in a custom aluminium trailer made by our expert team is that it is so versatile in use. Whether you know exactly why you want an aluminium trailer or are just eyeing one up for general use—custom trailers are a great investment. You can use trailers to haul goods or transport materials from one location to another. Depending on the size of the trailer, you may also be able to move a vehicle that has been rendered out of use.

How do I start the process of getting a custom trailer built?

If you’re interested in buying your very own custom aluminium trailer, the first step is to get in touch with the team here at Rod’s Engineering and Lifetime Trailers. Our friendly and knowledgeable engineers are on hand to discuss your requirements in more detail and to find out as much information as possible about what you want from your trailer. From there, we’ll go ahead and provide a quote and begin drawing up the initial designs once an agreement has been made. If there are any required adjustments to the plans, we’ll go ahead and make those too.

Will I be kept informed throughout the engineering process?

We take pride in our exceptional customer service. That’s why you’ll be kept in the loop throughout the process of designing and building your custom aluminium trailer. As our process takes an average of 5-6 weeks to complete, we understand how eager you’ll be to see the final product. We always keep our customers informed on where their own project is up to, as well as an expected delivery date—once we know when that will be, of course! If you have any questions throughout the engineering period, just get in touch with us.
