The Chassis

The strength of any camper trailer is in its chassis. At Trak Shak we have been perfecting our design for over 20 years. So that you can have the confidence in knowing wherever you venture in this wide country your Trak Shak is built tough to survive the journey there and back for many years to come.

The Trak Shak chassis is designed and built to provide maximum strength whilst keeping the overall weight of the camper to a minimum. Our unique pre stressed draw bar and SHS chassis construction provides a bullet proof foundation for our camper. With 4 super strength recovery points fillet welded directly to the chassis even if you do get yourself into trouble offroad you know you have the option to recover the unit safely.

 Welded to this chassis is our trailer body providing ample storage for all of those essential items. The front and rear tailgates provide easy access to this storage area and have beendesigned and constructed to reduce flex ensuring a tight dust and water seal.

Jerry can and gas bottle storage, a full length toolbox and boat loader are just some of the features integrated into the overall construction of the standard trailer.

Suspension

The way a trailer tows behind your vehicle is determined by a few factors, the main factor is the suspension design, at Trak Shak we developed our own unique coil sprung independent suspension system over 18 years ago. With many millions of Km's traveled this design has proved to be incredibly reliable. This design is now standard on all of our trailers. A spare suspension stub axle is supplied bolted to the side of the trailer because in the outback you just never know. Matched to this suspension is 10" electric drum brakes, this remains the most efficient and reliable trailer braking system for offroad applications. In addition to electric brakes, mechanical overide brakes are also provided as standard.

We have two standard choices for wheels and tyres, a 5 stud 16" steel rim with 265/75R16 offroad tyres, these are compatible with 100/200 series Landcruisers or a 6 stud 16" steel rim with 265/75R16 offroad tyres, these are compatible with Patrol and earlier model Landcruisers. Other stud and offset combination's can be manufactured upon request.
