American Hauler manufacturers both steel and aluminum framed trailers. Both have their unique advantages and both make excellent trailers. Few materials can match the strength and durability of steel. Because steel is so strong, you can often use less in the manufacturing process, partially negating the weight. In general, steel is less expensive than aluminum. Aluminum is a lighter metal in terms of density and overall not as strong. Aluminum does have natural anti-corrosive properties which provide a long-lasting attractive appearance and requires less maintenance. Depending on your application and budget, American Hauler can provide the best-suited trailer, steel or aluminum, for your planned use.
