With the light weight trailers, the wheel is only supported on one side of the axle. This means it can’t handle as much load as the heavy duty trailer or the axle will break. However with standard 10mm wheel axles it will handle up to 50kg just fine, which is a decent load of groceries or a big dog. This trailer works best with 16 inch wheels or 20 inch wheels. The frame is designed to be used with the Mitre10 Jobmate Bin 100L. Other bin sizes can be custom made if required. The bins come with lids to keep everything dry and lift out making transfer of groceries a breeze. Two strips of light aluminium angle are included which bolts to each side of the bin to stop it slipping too low.
Cost: $220 for kitset frame & hitch, $160 for new wheels, $50 for the bin = $430. $60 courier
Option to use your own bike wheels to save some money and reduce the environmental impact
