TRAILER FEATURES

3 4

All Transtyle trailers are fitted with rubber torsion suspension. The rubber inner tubes dampen shock, reduce sway at high speeds and are maintenance-free, unlike conventional leaf spring and shock absorber systems. Both sides of the axle operate independently creating a smooth, quiet ride.

We also offer the option of a contoured bed in the centre of the axle, creating a low centre of gravity for improved handling. The axle beams are hot-dip galvanised and the torsion arm and inner metal shaft are finished with Dacromet plating for protection against corrosion.

Rubber Torsion Suspension

All Transtyle trailers are constructed with marine-grade I-beam aluminium. This lightweight metal is incredibly strong, easy to maintain and will never rust. Transtyle trailers are bolted together using

stainless-steel bolts, U-bolts and nylon lock nuts. This construction technique allows for subtle flexing during operation, unlike conventional welded joins that can crack or split.

Every Transtyle trailer is constructed with an aluminium draw bar, winch post and heavy-duty checker plate guards. Guards are reinforced and

strong enough to stand on, with a backing plate to stop dirt and debris hitting the boat during towing.

Aluminium I-Beam Chassis

Aluminium Construction

Transtyle axles come with the unique Grease Exchange System that is proven to protect wheel bearings from corrosion, wear and water ingress.

Maintenance is incredibly simple and fast. Alternative option of oil bath lubrication is also available. Please see options on page 7.

Jack Murphy

East Coast Pilgrimage

Jack Murphy, from The Captain magazine reflects on his

trip with a Transtyle Trailer.

The trip from Melbourne to Far North Queensland

along the coast isn’t an easy drive by any stretch of the

imagination. Doubly so if you’ve got to trek it back again

at the end of your adventure. All-up, you’re looking at over

8,000km of hard wear and tear on you and your boat trailer.

Along the way you’ll also find treacherous roadworks,

corrugated dirt roads, cattle grids and plenty of potholes,

which all try and put the boot in.

Call me crazy, but I’ve completed this fishing pilgrimage

back and forth three times!

On my first two voyages, using other trailers, I experienced

cooked wheel bearings, flat tyres and even a snapped

winch post! However, on my last trip I got there and back

without a single problem. Yep, I travelled 10,000km without

any trailer niggles. With a single-axle Transtyle under the

belly of my baby, Red Dog (a Stabicraft 1650), the crew and

I travelled in safety and style.

Put simply, a good trailer is one that you forget about.

That’s why I loved the Transtyle. The low centre of gravity

meant it didn’t dance, bounce or sway behind the car, nor

did it flex too little or too much. The oil bearings were an

initial concern, only because of the rumours I’d heard.

However, they ended up being really simple to use and only

needed to be filled up twice in 10,000km. When it came to

launching, the three-roller/skid combination worked a treat.

The boat wouldn’t instantly slide off the trailer when the

straps were removed. A touch of reverse from the outboard

would get it off easily, which is ideal for solo missions.

rated to 4500kg. I’ve also got an AT4500T on order.

Boat: 263 Whitepointer fitted with twin 175 Suzuki 4-strokesSimon saysThis trailer has done close to 80,000km and there hasn’t

been a single fault, everything is perfect. The torsion axles

work really well and we’ve never had a problem. It’s better

than having a leaf system that rusts out.Aluminium suits me. If I went for a steel, galvanised trailer

I’d be up for 300kg more in trailer weight. I’ve towed boats

for the past 25 years and I haven’t had a trailer tow half as

good as these. It tows down the road beautifully; you don’t

even know the boat’s there.15

It’s two years old and I’ve never had to pull anything apart or free anything up.Aluminium trailers are a must these days. Gone are the days of buying metal trailers – who wants to get their trailer galvanised every five to 10 years? It doesn’t make sense!Transtyle trailers make your life simple - driving on and off

is effortless. Gone are the days of doing wheel bearings by the side of the road. Get yourself a Transtyle trailer and you’ve got a trailer for life.

by going with an aluminium trailer.We’ve gone for keel rollers with the skids for better support

Phillip saysI chose Transtyle because they’re custom-made for my

boat. They went over the boat for half an hour, then

custom-made the trailer.

The trailer centres the boat perfectly on recovery, has a

low centre of gravity with the curved axles and I can easily

launch and retrieve on my own.

I’ve had four other trailer brands before this, and

Transtyle is by far the best.
