Aluminium boat trailers are designed to offer the maximum longevity and are used for high-end, no compromise setups. In a FELK model, both the chassis and cross members are aluminium.
FELK Engineering has been manufacturing aluminium trailers since 2014. The chassis is bolted together in sections, which allows for easier maintenance and repair (if damaged) over the life of the trailer.
Aluminium trailers are purchased by those looking for an extremely long-lasting trailer and are often paired with new boats so the trailer lasts the life of the boat. These trailers are usually the first choice for professional fisherman and sailors.
We source marine-grade aluminium from reputable Australian suppliers. The compound is specifically designed for marine environments.
You may have read that FELK predominantly sells hot-dipped-galvanised trailers. We are often asked, “If your hot-dipped galvanised model is already good, what advantages are there upgrading to an aluminium model?”.
Put simply, both are extremely high-end products. It’s like comparing business and first-class flights, both are extremely good and a cut above economy options.
Aluminium trailers will still require maintenance and ongoing servicing.
As mentioned, they are very strong, yet aren’t suitable for high-impact use, which is why we do not sell Aluminium versions of box trailers, tipping trailers etc.

The material for aluminium trailers is much more expensive than the steel used in our galvanised models, hence they are marginally more expensive.
No.
The only advantage is the extreme longevity in marine environments. As a rule of thumb, a gal trailer will last 15 years, you’ll double that with an aluminium model (if well maintained).
