For the Consumer Today's Market
Today's consumer-oriented trailers - boat, ATV, utility, horse- are extrusion intensive as well. Aluminum extrusions' high strength and light weight provide improved payload with reduced fuel consumption, while their non-corrosive nature yields long life and low maintenance. Finally, with the design flexibility that extrusions offer, a high level of functionality can be engineered into the parts.


The Sylvan Sport GO recreational and utility trailer shown here is versatile, durable, weighs just 840 pounds and transforms into a pop-up camper that sleeps four adults. It was awarded the Grand Prize in the ET Foundation Aluminum Extrusion Design Competition. The utility trailer is manufactured using 6000-series custom aluminum extrusions and has multiple uses. Just about any vehicle can pull it.
Lightweight aluminum makes the trailer fuel efficient, 100% recyclable and the extrusion process allows for the incorporation of features that created flexibility in the design.
