Boat & Kayak Trailers
A boat trailer is built around the hull: bunks or rollers where the boat sits, a winch post at the right height, and a frame that goes into the water every weekend without rusting. We build alloy boat trailers in Queanbeyan, and kayak and canoe trailers that carry four or more craft on racks over a lockable toolbox.

- For kayaks and canoes: how many, their lengths, and the gear that travels with them.
- What you tow with, and its towing capacity.

Common questions
Bunks or rollers?
Bunks support the hull along its length and suit most fibreglass and alloy boats, especially where you can drive the boat on at a ramp. Rollers let a heavy boat winch on from shallow water with less effort. Tell us the boat and where you launch and we will recommend one.
Does a boat trailer need brakes?
A small tinnie on an alloy trailer is often under 750 kg and needs none. A fibreglass boat with a motor, fuel and gear is usually over it, and needs brakes; over 2,000 kg it needs brakes on every wheel and a breakaway system. We rate the trailer to the boat you tell us about.
How many kayaks can a kayak trailer carry?
The trailers on this page carry four: two on the overhead rack and two on the deck, with tie-down points for each. More racks can be added for a club or a hire business. Tell us how many and how long and we will size the rack.
