Dunbier trailer subframe
Submitted by Dirt on Mon, 2015-06-29 11:08
hey guys I made the mistake of deciding to get my trailer re galvanised about 12 months ago. We cut out and replaced 1 of the 3 cross members as it didn't pass the hammer tap test. Unfortunately the other two are already showing signs of rust. The main thing I'm pissed about is that the rest of the trailer looks brand new as I replaced axles and suspension parts. I wondering if anybody knows if there is somewhere I can just buy the subframe and swap over all my bits. The boat is 6.3 mths the trailer is dual axle full roller trailer. Anyone done or enquire about doing this. Any info would be great I'm just thinking that if this is doable it will prolong my trailer life considerably
thanks in advance

Ask the manufacturer. I am sure they would flog the frame to you.

Speak to Paul at Fremantle
Speak to Paul at Fremantle Trailers. They are Dunbier agents and do top work. They can source stuff from Dunbier, but they might expect to fit it for you.

Ahh ok, that may put a spanner in the works.
You could always try Papas or another trailer manufacturer? Very often see large bundles of trailer frames just back from the galvanisers.

Frame replacement
I enquired about a new subframe from trailit, the 5.8 was around $2500 from memory, they were happy to supply to the public

Chivers replaced mine - custom built
Through their trailer division - And transferred all the running gear across saving me heaps - the old one was full of holes - cost for a 6.8 metre craft was around $4,000 and it is bloody brilliant - support our sponsors!

Wouldn't waste my time on
Wouldn't waste my time on trying to deal with Wayne at Trailit to get anything for your trailer.He f@#$edME around no end when Ihad my boat built and I'm still waiting on a price for a rear swing arm after 3 months and several calls. Part sorted elsewhere thanks Wayne. Will never deal with him again. Just give a local Dunbier supplier a shot.
