Default Any Suggestions on an Aluminum I-Beam Trailer

Any suggestions on purchasing an Aluminum I-Beam Trailer up in the Mid West. I am kicking around the idea. Any manufacturers you would suggest?
Thanks
Jr.

Whoever you decide to go with, insist on torsion axles with removable spindles. Then spend the extra $$ and get a spare set to mount on the tongue. One bolt off and on - flat or bearing problem. You can be back on the road in 30 min.

What size are you needing? I've got a fairly new Venture VATB-8725 with poly slides and new tires that has been stored inside most of it's life. I'm considering selling it since I don't really need it anymore.

They built one for my old 38 Special a few years back as well.

I had no issues with it,,,,and great to deal with.

Looking for a trailer for the 21' Scout..... However, I do not want the back hanging off on just the 32 wood bunks... So I know I will have to go with something a little longer
