Best Built Raft Trailers FOR SALE in Montana

WHY? cause where others cut costs we throw down more money to make a better trailer.

Lets start with a 3500# gvw made in the USA dexter EZ lube Axle , not cheap imitations or Chinese axles. not 2000# axles, but 3500# cause the have bigger bearings and less revolutions on the highway. with the EZ lube you can grease the axle without removing the tires.

Springs not torsion axles - do you want heavy duty fool proof springs like an F350 or Jeep, or a torsion axle like a hyundia - enough said

5200# spring hangers weld 360 degrees to a 3 inch channel steel subframe - cause lets face aluminum frames and hangers are not going to take the abuse of you driving 45 mph on the worse washboard dirt road when the fish are biting or when its beer thirty. aluminum cracks like a grain of salt. grade a36 steel has the right amount of flex and strength so it does not break.

3/16" Tri-Frame extra long tongue - not 1/8'' - we are 50% thicker and 200% stronger for when you jackknife your tounge on your trailer  or some idiot hits it in the packed full parking lot

Schedule 80  full width roller bar and winch with 20 foot strap, you can stand on this bar and it will not bend, no bearing to pack full of dirt and sieze or fall apart. hook the strap to the raft or build a rope undersling attached to your rafts frame, and crank it up .

Optional tilt triframe tongue, for those that want to leave coolers full of fish and beer in the raft and drag it up loaded.

Kiln dried Fir 2x6 decking that can all be removed with 3 bolts. We build our trailers to last longer then the 20 year wood. Oil stain, not latex paint. optional 20 gauge galvenized steel decking also available.

Painted and primered on top and bottom, rustolum gloss black. IF you dont look good , we dont look good. we paint them in the air 360 degrees. Touch them up with a rustolum black spraycans when you rub the gaurdrail on the highway.

Stakepockets loops and tiedowns

Missoula School teacher gets trailer upgraded free after having his raft and trailer stolen.

NO CHARGE * When a local school teacher had his raft and trailer stolen, he was lucky enough to find one of our base model trailers for sale from a private party. He bought it then contacted us to have a winch and a full width raft roller bar installed on it, and to purchase a spare tire for it. We decided to not only give him the parts and install for free, but in "pimp my ride style" we also put on new stained 2x6 decking, a new paint job, serviced the axle, new stickers, and a mount for the free spare tire. We have been so lucky to have free legal help with our case to defend our free housing shelter called Orange Acres against Missoula County, and generous donations from our GOFUNDME donors, that we wanted to give back to our community. 
Thanks to all that have supported us.

Raft Trailers For Sale


 ORANGE ACRES WELDING (406) 370-5466



NEW Custom built raft trailers made right here in Montana. No one builds a better, stronger trailer than us.
Full 80" inches wide x 10' foot long. Or 7x12, 8x10 and 8x12. Tilt and non tilt tongue available.

Grade A36 steel, will not stress fracture like aluminum trailers. Made with 3/16 thick, 3 inch channel steel, fully welded 360 degrees. 3" channel cross support on tongue and sub frames. Welded to 5200lb rated spring holders, with 3500lb springs. Full length sub-frame keeps axles from coming up though deck.

These are a heavy duty Tri-Frame Tongue. 3" tube tongue made of 3/16" inch steel, 50% thicker than the competition, giving it more tongue weight for a better pull and preventing fishtailing on the highway as is common with light weight trailers. 2x3 A-frame supports on tongue prevent tongue from breaking or bending when you hit something backing up.

Due to common problems with 2000lb axles made in China, and Lipert brand axles (read bad reviews online), we only use a solid 3500lb Dexter EZ lube axles made in the U.S.A. We use 3500lb axles instead of 2000lb axles because they have a bigger set of bearings and last longer. They also have an EZ lube grease fitting on the hub for easy seasonal maintenance. If you don’t have EZ lube hubs you must remove the wheel and hub to pack the bearings, and incorrectly packing the bearings can cause the wheel to seize resulting in tire blow out or the wheel falling off completely and rolling into oncoming traffic.

Comes with full size tires and wheels, trailer steel belted radials, not smaller 12'' or 8'' inch tires that turn faster and wear out bearings on highway. Many manufactures are using bias ply tires to save $20, not steel belted radials, and this results in more frequent blow outs that leave you stranded on the highway. 13” or optional 15” tires for more ground clearance and for getting over rocks and rolling over logs.

Custom 2 x 6 decking milled right here in Montana, and stained with Thompson timber oil l stain. Our deck boards fit in bolt-down steel pockets for easy replacement in 20 years. Screws don't go though decking (this causes decking to split over time due to flexing). This also makes the deck easy to remove for trailer painting or rhino lining in the future. Trailers are also available undecked for a discounted price, in case you want to install your own plywood that will rot out in a few years.

2 coats of primer and 2-5 coats of Rustoleum brand black paint. Trailers are also available unpainted if you have your own custom plans, rhino lining, truck color, or want to save a few bucks.

Also comes with boxed in taillights and front marker lights, DOT stickers,  LED lights 


OPTIONS AVAILABLE:

Tilt tongue $250; rebar side rail $60;
 2” flat side rails $100;
 upgrade to 15” wheels and tires $50 each; 13” spare tire $100; 15” spare tire $150

Optional galvanized decking available on 10 foot trailers.
see video here---> https://youtu.be/BxpmfOJ1ZRo

Raft package: 2'' full length removable rear roller bar, will not bend. No bearing to pack full of dust and seize or break. Sky winch and 20' strap lifts rafts up as you winch it on trailer. Tie down loop in rear center for locking down back of raft. Tie down loops on sub-frame so you can used ratchet straps without the ratchets rubbing on your tubes. Steel stake pockets on sides and front for building side boards for enclosing or firewood racks, plus 2 more tie down loops on tongue for strapping down ramps or securing front of raft. 4.5 foot extended tongue.

above pictured with $250 optional winch and roller.




NEW Custom built raft trailers made right here in Montana


No one, builds a better, stronger trailer than us.

Full 80" inches wide x 10' foot long.

Made with 3/16ths thick 3inch channel steel, fully welded, 3" channel cross support on axle and gusseted. in front and rear,


These are a Tri Frame Tounge
3" tube tounge made of 3/16" inch steel, with a 2x3 A-frame supports on the tongue prevents tongue from breaking or bending when you hit something backing it up.

36" sub frame made from 3" channel ties into cross members (3'' inch channel) and welded to 5200 lb rated spring holders, with 3500lb springs.

optional Swing lock jack with a six inch wheel, you can lift this trailer by hand but if you have a bad back you will enjoy this jack for moving this trailer around. it swings sideways and sits lower than the deck so you could put a raft over the top of it if you had a 12 to 15' raft.

Due to problems that we have seen with 2000# axles, we only use a solid 3500 lb Dexter EZ lube axles, we use 3500# instead of 2000# axles because the have a bigger set of bearings than the 2000# axles so it means that they last longer. They also have a ez lube grease fitting on the hub for easy seasonal maintenance, you can put a grease gun on it or have the guys a jiffy lube do it for you. If you dont have EZ lube hubs you must remove the wheel and hub to pack the bearings. Incorrectly packing the bearings can cause the wheel to sieze resulting to tire blow out or the wheel falling off compleatly, rolling into oncomming traffic.

Full size 13" tires and wheels, trailer radials, not smaller 12'' or 8'' inch tires that turn faster and wear out bearings on highway. more ground clearance for getting over rocks and rolling over logs.
( I also sell them without tires and wheels if you want it cheaper or have tires yourself)

Custom 2 x 6 decking milled right here in Montana, stained with oil penetrating stain. Our deck boards fit in bolt down steel pockets for easy replacement in 20 years. Bolts don't go though decking( this causes decking to split over time due to flexing). also makes deck easy to remove for trailer painting or rhino lining in the future.
