Are the prolite trailers solid?
Yes, the Prolite trailers are solid.
Contrary to what one might think, the lightness of a product does not equal to a lower resistance. Nowadays, vehicles are built with increasingly lightweight products to improve fuel economy, mobility and driving efficiency. Take, for instance, the cars and aircrafts steel parts, which are often replaced by titanium, or boat hulls and hockey sticks wooden parts, which are also replaced by fiberglass.
New products are increasingly resistant despite their very light weight and too often people make the mistake of believing that “the heavier it is, the more resistant it is.”
We present to you one of our trailers that was smashed by a Toyota 4Runner vehicle. The vehicle was going at a speed of 50 km/h while the trailer was immobilized on the highway. The trailer hitch was completely crushed under the car that was dragging it, yet the only real damage to the trailer is at the rear and it is very minimal for an impact of such power while stationary.
