About Built-Rite Trailers
Built-Rite was established in 2020 by Mike, an engineer driven by a commitment to precision and durability. Our journey began in 2012 with boat sales, evolving into custom trailer modifications by 2013. Since our official launch, we've crafted about 400 trailers, each designed with meticulous attention to detail.
At Built-Rite, we use only the highest quality materials and components, including 6061-T6 full radius, marine-grade aluminum for unparalleled strength and corrosion resistance. Our trailers feature V-shaped bent crossmembers and torsion axles, providing superior stability and smooth towing compared to traditional straight axles. We drill and fasten all parts with stainless steel fasteners—never welded—to ensure maximum durability.
Our trailers are equipped with submersible LED lighting and a non-grounded wiring harness, drawing power directly from the vehicle to eliminate the risk of electrolysis when submerged in water. Every Built-Rite trailer is a testament to our commitment to quality, innovation, and the unique needs of our customers.
