Car Mate 7 x 16 Car Trailer – 7K with Open Steel Deck

The Car Mate 7 x 16 Car Trailer – 7K is a compact yet heavy-duty transport solution designed for hauling sedans, small pickups, and equipment with precision and ease. It features a 7-foot wide by 16-foot long open steel deck, constructed from diamond plate steel for enhanced traction and durability during loading. The trailer is built on a fully welded steel frame, finished in powder-coated black to resist rust and maintain a clean, professional look. It rides on dual 3,500 lb leaf spring axles, each equipped with EZ-lube hubs and electric brakes for responsive stopping power. The slide-in rear ramps tuck neatly under the deck and deploy quickly for loading low-clearance vehicles. A 2 5/16-inch coupler, heavy-duty tongue jack, and breakaway safety system ensure secure towing compliance. Additional features include diamond plate fenders with integrated steps, radial tires on black mod wheels, and multiple stake pockets and D-rings for flexible tie-down options. This trailer is ideal for Eldoret’s auto dealers, roadside recovery teams, and logistics operators needing a compact, road-ready hauler.

To maintain optimal performance and extend the trailer’s lifespan, a proactive care routine is essential. Begin by inspecting the steel deck weekly for signs of rust, dents, or damage from vehicle loading—especially after transporting heavy or low-clearance units. Grease the wheel bearings every 5,000 km or after long-distance trips to prevent overheating and wear. Check tire pressure, tread depth, and brake responsiveness before each haul, and ensure the breakaway cable and safety chains are properly secured. Lubricate the ramp slides, locking pins, coupler latch, and jack stand monthly to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. After hauling in dusty or muddy conditions, wash the undercarriage, fenders, and ramp channels thoroughly to remove debris and prevent corrosion. Touch up any chipped paint on the frame promptly to maintain rust resistance. For long-term storage, park the trailer on level ground, elevate the tongue to prevent water pooling, and cover it with a UV-resistant tarp to protect against sun damage and moisture buildup.
