Pullite cargo trailer

[phyllisindallas]

Has anyone had experience or heard anything about Pullite brand cargo trailers? They seem to be less than other brands which makes me wonder about quality, but they are light- a 6by12 (5'9" tall)  is $2300 with a dry weight of 980lbs. 

I can't find anything on the web, maybe because it is a local outfit which might not have a nationwide presence.

their website? I think other cargo trailer manufacturers may be carried by local dealers and not have websites.

Yes, that's the website for the manufacturer. I meant I couldn't find any reviews on the web

You are correct on that...lol. They seem nice. I'd call WacoBill and get his biased opinion. It would be worth something.

First reaction from website (besides not being much of a site)...
Use of the term 'hybrid aluminum trailer'....marketing b.s.
Steel frame/aluminum body sheets is standard construction; nothing 'hybrid' about it.

First thing to look at is the roof. Can't tell from the pictures if it's 'one piece' or has a seam. If it's got a seam, walk away.
Second, crawl under with a flashlight. Look for gaps around the floor edges that may allow road spray, grit, crud or critters in behind the walls. From inside the box it may look sealed and tight, but you'd be surprised how many trailers have gaps around the floor once the wall panels come off to insulate.

Thanks for the tips! 

Yes, that website is to "lean" to say the least, but the retailer's site has more info.

The roof descriptions all seem to mention "One Seam Galvalume Roof"

I can't help but notice that they say, "Lite Weight, Light Use."

They use a weasel word "Lite" when talking about the weight, but the real word, "Light" when talking about how you should use them. 

Then they say they are "Recreational Enclosed Cargo Trailers." In other words, they aren't made for doing any real work.

Personally, it just sounds a little too fishy to me.

Phyllis have you checked out WSS trailers in Burleson?  www.wsstrailers.com ?  I haven't ;ooked at their trailers in person but when I talked to them on the phone they weren't high pressure at all.  They have a 6x12 V nose with barn doors that they told me was a 1 piece roof and the roof is curved.  There will be a seam where the panel over the V connects but they said the rest was was on piece.  Like I said I haven't laid my eyes on it just thought I'd throw that out to you.  Whatever you buy be sure you get plywood floor and now that glued together sawdust.

No, I haven't. Thanks for the reference! That sounds like exactly what I think I need. Looks like a little more than the trailers I was looking at, but maybe for a reason!

Are you planning on converting one?

Those Pullite trailers look virtually identical to my Carry-On.

Yes, they are light duty, but will certainly handle a modest build-out.

Mine has been working well for a couple of years, and dealer support is good.

One thing to be ready for....the wiring is kinda 'iffy'...it would be best to inspect all the connections, and where the wire passes thru the frame members, assuming you pull the interior paneling to insulate.

Awesome- thanks!

Awesome- thanks!

I'm looking at the carry on website, and those are made in Mexia, Texas, as are the Pullite, so I'm wondering they are actually the same company with 2 different brands.

I guess I was right- this is from the description of one of the pullite trailers:
Mfg: Carry-On Trailer Inc.
Origin: Mexia, TX.
Label: Pullite/ Moss Creek

Nice investigative work.

Be sure you know the cargo carry capacity. If the trailer weighs only 980 pounds you might be able to only carry 1000 pounds or maybe even only 7 or 800. You'll be adding insulation, wood, a mattress and bedding, clothing, food, water, trailer brakes, etc. etc. Weight adds up quickly so research first and make sure you are buying something you can load up what you want to take and drive safely. Don't rush it.

When we were looking at cargo trailers we found a huge difference in manufacturers and models. Insulation and ventilation are very important, don't forget that. A cargo trailer should not be a stealth vehicle as they are air tight pretty much and need ventilation if you are going to camp in them. Windows weigh as well.

Even our expensive dual axle LoadRunner had holes to patch found after removing the walls for insulation. And even some rust on a 2018 bought 4 months into 2018! So it got primed big time everywhere to prevent that again. No sense putting out money and not building it right. Then again, I was born on an Island so maybe salty sea air is just part of my subconscious.

I ordered a 5 x 8 cargo trailer from a place in Georgia. Really cheap....Rolling Vault...I will let u know if it falls apart on the ride home.
