Brooker Trailers...

[rsvnige]

Hi guys me again.

Been offered one of these as part of a package.

Are they good quality and well designed as compared to say a Dunbier trailer.??

Cheers .

I bought one about 18 months ago. They are one of the cheaper brands available in Sydney, but i was impressed with the standard equipment on my dual axle (3 speed winch with strap, powder coated alloys with new LT tyres and plastic guards)

The down side is that mine doesnt have load sharing suspension and most of the bolts appear cheap and just zinc plated (?) againt rust. Mines had several liberal coats of fish oil and the bolts are doing fine but they are pretty well coated in a layer of goo.

The roller configurations on them is gererally traditional with a mix of keel and multi rollers (they may make skid version?) and it loads/launches my boat fine on at any tide of any ramp.

Would I buy one again - YES VERY DEFINATLY, as long as its priced noticably cheaper than the other brands such as the one you mentioned. YOu get what you pay for. No way I would call the Brooker a rolls royce of trailers though.

cheers

yeah they are good.

but with any new boat, you want to make sure the trailer suits the boat and is set up well. as many dealers dont pay that much attention in that department

they are a good trailer ,but are built to a price if you know what I mean.I have been looking to buy a new trailer myself and having been to both the Brooker and Boeing factories here in sydney and had a good look at the other main brands I rate them this way.

#1 BOEING very solidly built & they have so many little extras that make a huge difference like extra folded up section of light cable ,rolled drawbar,tilting skids etc.

#2 STACER and DUNBIER both very good,strongly made.

#3 BROOKER good trailers but lack the little extras of the other brands.

I spent a lot of time shopping around and this is my honest opinion.
