AMM perfects extreme hardcore performance

by Australian Master Marine on 26 Jan 2017 A leading plate alloy boat manufacturer has now gone hardcore in design and production of boat trailers for off road use with the launch of its Extra Heavy Duty series - a range even more robust than its existing Off Road models.

Fully independent trailing arms suspension mounted on 16mm thick alloy location plates; two Gabriel heavy duty shock absorbers per wheel; a four bag Cruisemaster adjustable air suspension system; massive 285/75/16 tyres on alloy rims, a Hitchmaster DO45 all terrain drop-on coupling which allows the trailer to articulate at radical angles, an 6mm thick heavy duty box section main frame, massive ground clearance - the list of near-bullet proof features goes on and on.

Australian Master Marine created its new design in response to requests from customers who are pushing further and further into remote locations to access almost unheard of fishing destinations.

The first trailer completed to the new Extra Heavy Duty Off Road design specifications is for a seven metre stealth black, AMM Centre Console kitted to the hilt.

The trailer even includes an on-board air compressor for inflating tyres and the air bag suspension; a fully automated on-board water supply system that automatically flushes down the trailer’s vital components with fresh water after launching and retrieving; two spare wheels including one with its own stub axle and bearings so it can become a massive front dolly wheel for extricating the trailer from near-impossible situations; a swing aside draw bar extension that adds three metres of extra space behind the vehicle’s tow bar; electric and manual winch systems and an automatic launch and retrieve system.

And in typical AMM precision manufacturing form, every upright supporting the hull has been individually measured, cut and welded into place.

AMM Director, Mr Barton Thomas said: “The struts are custom-made for every boat to reduce the likelihood of damage to the hull when travelling in extreme situations.”

“The Extra Heavy Duty is like an off-road trailer on steroids - it boasts immense strength to tackle the harshest of conditions. It is a significant step up in capability from our heavy Duty Off Road range of boat trailers.”

AMM Off Road trailers can be inspected at the company’s headquarters at Brendale on Brisbane’s northside and on its website
