We at Triad Trailers, Ltd. realize that trailers spend the majority of their lives within a marine environment. That's why we have chosen, and tested, Keeler and Long's 2 component Epoxy Primer and their 2 component Acrylic Urethane Enamel top coat for our protective coatings. With 15 stock colors and 30 optional custom colors, these coatings' durability, dependability, and luster will protect your trailer for the many years to come.

Galvanizing is the process of dipping bare steel into a tank filled with molten zinc. During the process the molten Zinc adheres to the raw steel and creates a rugged rust-resistant finish. We offer the galvanized finish, as opposed to the painted finish, on trailers for boats that are less than 29 feet in length.

The axle or axles are one of the most important structural features of any trailer. Along with the structural trailer frame the axles dampen the effects of road shock, determine the carrying capacity of the trailer, and determine the distance the keel will sit off the ground. Twenty-two years experience and thousands of Triad Trailers have led us to believe that Dexter Axle produces the most technologically advanced axles. Both conventional spring sprung axles and independent suspension rubber ride TORFLEX axles are incorporated into our trailers. Refer to the Models section of our site for the running system that your trailer will come equipped with.

An added advantage of our Dexter Axles is that we have them equipped with the unique E-Z lube bearing lubrication system. This allows the axle to be periodically lubricated without removing the hubs or drums from the axle. This feature consists of axle spindles that have been specially drilled and fitted with a grease zerk in their ends. When grease is pumped into the zerk, it is channeled to the inner bearing and then flows back to the outer bearing and eventually back out the grease cap hole.

Safety is one of our top priorities at Triad Trailers, Ltd. We have chosen lights that are rust-resistant as well as aesthetically pleasing. All of our lights either meet or exceed the D.O.T. requirements on the date the trailer is manufactured. Peterson Manufacturing is the supplier for our side marker and clearance lamps and for our 3-Id aft light bar. Wesbar manufactures our 7-way rear "Wrap Around" tail lights that contain a vacuum sealed bulb.

Triad Trailers name is placed on every single trailer we fabricate, so it's no wonder why we protect our reputation by using the most durable trailer components available. As you read through the Models section of our site you will notice that we give the manufactures name of the trailer accessories we incorporate into the trailers design. We have nothing to hide because we have confidence in our suppliers. If at any time you would like more information on our trailer component manufactures than is provided here, please contact us. We will do our best to provide you with the information you request.

Unlike powerboat trailers, sailboat trailers have to be designed according to the hull shape, placement, size, and type of keel, the draft, and the boats center of gravity. Taking these factors into mind we design our trailers to provide a custom fit, not a forced fit. We have designed over 1,000 different trailers for various sailboats either in production today or out of production for quite some time. If we don't have a trailer plan for your sailboat in our files, we will locate either line drawings of the boats hull, or an identical sister ship.

· Over 23 years experience exclusively in the sailboat trailer construction field.
· Over 1200 different sailboat plans in our growing files.
· Custom crafted from structural steel to meet the needs of you and your boat.
· Designed to the hull of your boat for a specialized tailored fit, not a forced fit.
· Mig welded connections for superior strength.
· 100% hull accessibility to perform hull work on 98% of our trailers.
· Custom tailored to the load for exceptional balance and tracking.
· Float-on/Float-off packages available.
· Diversified selection of options to choose from including galvanizing.

If you have access to a travel hoist and have no desire to ramp launch your boat, then our Lift-Off models are for you. Ideally designed for the racer, the Lift-Off trailer has become increasingly popular amongst all types of sailors with different needs. It's priced just right to make it economical for dry sailing, vacationing, winter storage, hull work, etc.

Initially introduced for heavy sailboats or sailboats with fin keels, the Special Float-Off Package is popular with trailer sailors utilizing many different ramps. Our unique Special Float-Off Package can accommodate almost any launching needs. The design consists of keel guides, a bow stop and ladder with winch, an extension bar that averages 18 feet in length and a front airplane launching wheel that swivels 360 degrees. With this configuration you're sure to get almost any size boat deep enough in the water to easily float off of any launching ramp. We're happy to recommend whether your trailer should be equipped with the Special Float-Off Package or not.

· 5,200# tandem axles with hydraulic or electric brakes (hydraulic brakes recommended on float-off)

· Lift-off or float-off package

· Bow stop and ladder (included in Special Float-Off Package)

· Mounted spare tire

· Two rear stabilizing jack for ability to change spare tire

Notes: These recommended trailer packages are recommendations only and Triad Trailers cannot be held responsible if customer is not satisfied with the trailer package selected. Bow stop and ladder, spare tire and mount, and rear stabilizing jack options are not necessities in having an excellent trailing package. The options offered are simply to assist the trailers' owner while at the yacht club, boat yard or en route.
