harbor freight does not sell 5 x 8 trailers anymore?

[mkurczewski]

I have been to our local harbor freight and on their website, I don't see any 5 x 8 trailers anymore. I am thinking of building the cubby on a 5 x 8 frame. What other 5 x 8 would be most compatible with the cubby?

I don't think HF ever had a 5' trailer. Northern Tool has a 5 x 8 that lots of people use.

Exactly. But they're actually made by the same manufacturer, Changzhou Nanxiashou, just sold under different names from different companies.

Here are the biggies....

Lowes , tractor supply , big R farm stores, and Menards all handle the Carry-on brand built by some good ol' Georiga boys.

Home depot carries Load star trailers out of Ontario Canada.

The only Taiwan manufacture I found was Long Chih Inc who builds the Northern Freight light duty trailers.

The highest praise came from Rural Kings 5x8 which is built by Tarter industries a Kentucky Family operation since 1945 now with a 100,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Utah. This one was the only one with 13" tires standard !

Redtrailers.com sells a 5x8 trailer with a better tongue design than HF (at least IMO) They also have an upgrade option to a 13" 5 bolt pattern tire. They seem a bit more spendy, but its the direction I was planning on going and could be worth it. I also like the fact that they have a 36" tongue extension option for better turning radius.

Thanks for the answers. I thought HF did sell a 5 x 8 for some reason.

Redtrailers.com also sells pieces if you want to stretch the trailer to a 5x9 or 5x10!

Harbor Freight trailers the 5x8 part model 92175 trailer with tailgate you need to ask if you store sent all the ones they had back.the store here had 2 for 200 ea but no cash when back to buy out of luck.

I used a Red Trailers 5x8 a few years ago. I bought the axle/wheel upgrade, then stretched it as well to build a 5x10 tear.
