Tandem axle trailer designs include two sets of tires in close proximity to each other to help disperse the weight of the load. Keep in mind that these tires will wear faster than tandem tires due to having to carry more of the weight. They also have simpler structures to maintain due to only having one set of wheels. Cost wise, single axle trailers are lighter and are more inexpensive to tow. Because of their small size, they are more fuel efficient and towing is easy to handle due to a lower weight and easy to adjust towing angles. They are easy to handle when parking spaces are scarce or there is little wiggle room. Depending on the size and weight of the boat, we will determine whether a single-axle or tandem-axle trailer is the better choice for your boat.Ī single axle trailer with only one set of wheels can be a bit easier to maneuver.

Since most roller trailers are more of a general fit, bunk trailers offer a more custom and a tighter fit.īunk trailers are designed to cradle the hull of the boat and offer the most economical choice for transport as they have fewer parts to maintain. The bunks are designed to make contact with the hull of the boat at every point. These days, with improved technology and craftsmanship, you can find bunk trailers carrying larger boats even longer than 30 feet.Īt Pacific Trailers, we recommend bunk trailers.
