Trailer Options & Features
Choose from three side rail designs. The appropriate rail size is determined by our engineering team based on your boat’s specific requirements. Certain designs may not be compatible with all boat models.
Standard • Included
I-Beam
I-Beam construction is the go-to choice for aluminum boat trailers, delivering superior strength and performance. For most Ameratrail trailers, I-Beam is the default side rail.
C-Channel
C-Channel frames are commonly used for big boats like catamarans, providing durability and open design for easy maintenance.
AZ Channel
Our proprietary AZ Channel design refines traditional channel with rounded edges, added gusseting, and a hidden mini-channel for wiring and brake lines. Available for most boats up to 36 feet.
Trailer steps not only reinforce the fender, but also add both functionality and style to the overall trailer design.
Standard • Included
Standard Steps
Standard steps feature a simple, streamlined design. As the default option, they’re ideal for larger boats where side boarding isn’t practical.
Classic Steps
Classic Steps offer timeless style with everyday functionality. Ideal for side boarding on boats like bass and flats models, or for adding a sleek, stylish upgrade to your trailer.
Deluxe Steps
Our Deluxe Steps take the Classic design to the next level; stronger, bolder, and exclusively available on trailers equipped with the AZ Channel side rail.
Choose from our selection of wheel finishes. Actual wheel designs may vary; images shown represent finish style only, not specific wheel or spoke patterns.

Aluminum Wheels (Silver)
Aluminum wheels feature our standard silver finish, offering a lightweight upgrade with a clean, polished look.
Aluminum Wheels (Black/Silver)

Powder Coated Wheel
For those who prefer a solid color, our in-house powder coating transforms standard steel or aluminum wheels into a durable, custom-finished upgrade.
Tires provide the critical support for both the trailer and the boat. Some upgrade options may not be available or applicable to specific boat and trailer configurations.
Standard • Included
Standard ST Trailer Tires
Our standard ST-rated trailer tires are matched to the required load capacity and bolt pattern, delivering reliable performance and value without unnecessary cost.

Spare tire mount available as an optional add-on.
Spare Tire w/ Mount
A matching spare tire and mount provide peace of mind on the road. Securely installed and ready when you need it most.
Spare Tire & Hub
While a spare tire provides protection against blowouts, a spare hub offers added security for long-distance towing and large boat applications. Our custom-designed mount holds both the hub and tire firmly in place for quick access when needed.

Brakes are included when required by law. Choose from several upgrade options, including Electric over Hydraulic systems and stainless steel components.
Standard • Included
Actuator
Actuators provide smooth, responsive braking for surge brake systems, combining durability with reliable performance.
Coupler
Standard couplers are used on trailers without brakes or with electric-over-hydraulic systems, providing a secure and reliable connection.
Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
Electric-over-hydraulic brakes offer superior control and responsiveness compared to traditional surge actuators, making them the top choice for larger or high-performance trailers.
Stainless Steel Brakes (Calipers & Rotors)
Built for saltwater performance, our stainless brake components — calipers, rotors, or complete sets — deliver lasting durability and dependable stopping power.
Every trailer comes equipped with all-LED lighting, with a wide range of upgrade options for layout, marker, reverse, and turn lights.
Custom Lighting Package
Custom lighting packages include features like dual tail lights, larger marker lights, and other premium upgrades. Standard on most channel trailers.
Reverse Lighting
Reverse lighting adds dedicated lights to the back of the trailer for improved visibility and safety when backing up.
Guide Pole-Mounted Tail Lights
Additional tail lights mounted to the top of the guide poles improve visibility and protection while loading, unloading, or towing.
When space is limited, a swing tongue can reduce the overall footprint of your trailer. Available only for boats up to 24 feet in length.
Swing Tongue
Our standard swing tongue is added to the existing trailer design to reduce overall length, making storage possible in tight spaces.
Zero Tolerance Swing Tongue
Our Zero Tolerance Swing Tongue goes beyond a standard swing design; the entire trailer is engineered to fit within the boat’s profile, minimizing overall length as much as physically possible. If your boat fits in your space, your trailer will too. Subject to engineering design and feasibility.
As a custom trailer manufacturer, we can tailor your trailer with countless options and enhancements to fit your exact needs.

Every Ameratrail trailer proudly displays your boat’s brand with precision-cut logos on the trailer frame and fender non-skid; a signature touch that ties your trailer and boat together in one seamless design.

Bow Boarding Ladder
Our large custom bow boarding ladders are engineered as part of the trailer build, not as an add-on accessory. To properly accommodate the ladder, we adjust the overall trailer frame length during manufacturing. Because of this, the ladder is not available for installation on previously built trailers.
Bow Boarding Steps
Our winch stand mounted bow steps are a compact design ideal for most boats under 25 feet with lower gunwale/bow heights, providing safe and easy front access. Fitment on existing trailers may be possible depending on the trailer design and configuration, and is subject to engineering review.
