After significant research, I found Basic Trailers on Gumtree. I contacted them directly with some questions and purchased a 8x5 tandem axle trailer. The ordering process was very easy as they had it in stock. They respond to emails very quickly.

I guess this is the best price I can find in Adelaide, Quality trailer and professional services.

Sid Frankling

Ben

Extremely happy with this purchase (8 x 5 w/ 900mm cage). Customer service was excellent, the trailer itself is very well built and finished. Will certainly recommend Basic Trailers in the future.

John Phillips

Awesome experience from the basic trailer crew. A young chap called Nicholas helped me with buy my dream trailer. Thank you.

Craig Blesing

I spent 2 days driving around Adelaide looking at all the trailer suppliers for a 8 x 5 cage with H bars for long materials. Hands down the quality design service and price was far superior at Basic Trailers !!!

Alexander Brown

I purchased an 8x5 3500kg ATM tandem axle trailer around 12 months ago. In that time i have probably done 6000kms with it and it has towed beautifully. As far as service goes, they were excellent to deal with and being able to use trailer pay was a bonus. would certainly use them again.

I would like to commend Sam and Leah at Basic trailers. I had been looking for a 8x5 tandem and pricing trailers for a while. Sam was great to deal with and it is fantastic to see these trailers being made at the Holden hill factory to a very high standard.

Basic Trailers Terms And Conditions

All Basic Trailers come with a twelve (12) month warranty period covering the welding fabrication, electrical components, running gear, ancillary parts, and labour costs.

  1. BUILDING SPECIFICATIONS
    • Basic Trailers are built or supplied to the specification detailed on the invoices issued at the time of payments being made. Ensure that you check the specification of the build for accuracy on the invoice prior to any deposit being paid, or after any agreed changes have been added to your order. If any variation discussed to the specification of the build is not added to the order it will not be included in the invoiced price and may not be possible to rectify once the trailer has been fabricated, built, or completed. As far as possible trailers will be built using the parts/brands/colours detailed in the quote or the parts/brands/colours visible in the yard. Due to supply chain availability Basic Trailers may have to source alternative parts/brands/colours that are equal to or better in quality as a replacement without prior consultation.
    • Pictures on the Basic Trailers Website or in any Basic Trailers Adverts may not be an exact representation of the specification build of any trailers advertised.
    • Basic Trailers require a 20% deposit to be paid before the commencement of any trailer build and final payment to be made on completion of the build. Delaying the deposit payment may result in the original lead time quoted not being achievable.
    • Unless agreed prior to the order being processed, credit terms with Basic Trailers are not available.
    • It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the following:
      • The towing vehicle has the capability to tow the Gross ATM weight of the trailer.

  3. PAINT COATING
    • The Paint Coating system used on Basic Trailers is an etch primer with two topcoats of QD Enamel Paint with a Hammertone finish in Basic Charcoal Colour (or specified colour). This coating is classed as sacrificial and aesthetic and will scratch or stone chip with general everyday use. Each trailer is finished to a standard as determined by Basic Trailers, paint quality application issues, paint run’s or weld spatter may be visible. Every effort will be made during the process to avoid these issues.
  4. WARRANTY PROCEDURE

A time slot will be scheduled for you to bring your trailer to Basic Trailers Workshop in Adelaide for evaluation.
    • Warranty repair will not be honoured unless the trailer is brought to the Adelaide workshop. Basic Trailers will not be liable for any other associated costs incurred to return the trailer to its premises in Adelaide.
    • Once the evaluation has been completed, you will be informed of the outcome, the expected duration of the repair, and whether covered under warranty or whether there will be a cost to repair. No repair work will be carried out until an agreement has been agreed. As far as possible identical parts will be used as part of any warranty repair.

    • Proof of original ownership or proof of legal change of ownership is required for any warranty repair.
    • Basic Trailers is not able to collect or deliver trailers to any locations.
  5. WARRANTY VOIDING CONDITIONS
    • The warranty will become void if the trailer has not received proper maintenance, has been modified from the manufacture build specification or if any spare parts used do not comply with Basic Trailers specifications.
    • The warranty will also be void if any overloading has occurred, laws broken, or safety procedures have not been adhered to. Basic Trailers cannot be held liable for any costs incurred through unlawful use.
    • Basic Trailers have qualified professionals that are capable of handling any repairs needed for warranty purposes.
