Coffs Metal Works – Catamaran Trailers

Coffs Metal Works builds 100% Australian‑made catamaran trailers, designed, engineered, and manufactured entirely in Australia using locally sourced materials. As an Australian‑owned and family‑operated business, we take pride in producing trailers that deliver unmatched strength, reliability, and long‑term performance in harsh marine environments.

Catamarans require a very different approach to trailer design compared to single‑hull boats. Every trailer we build is individually engineered to match the exact hull spacing, weight distribution, and loading points of your vessel. This ensures safe towing, smooth launching, and effortless retrieval—no matter where you operate.

Why Custom‑Built Matters for Catamarans

Catamarans vary widely in:

• Hull spacing
• Weight distribution
• Keel and tunnel design
• Length and beam
• Launching environments (ramp, beach, river, shallow water)
  

A generic or "near‑fit" trailer can cause:

• Hull damage
• Poor towing stability
• Uneven weight loading
• Difficult launching and retrieval
• Premature wear on suspension and tyres

A custom‑built catamaran trailer eliminates these risks. At Coffs Metal Works, every trailer is engineered specifically for your boat, ensuring:

• Correct hull support
• Balanced towing
• Safe load distribution
• Smooth launch and retrieve
• Long‑term structural integrity

This is why custom design is not optional for catamarans—it's essential.

Australian‑Made Construction

Every Coffs Metal Works catamaran trailer is built to the highest standards using:

• Marine‑grade aluminium 
• Locally sourced structural materials
• In‑house engineering and CAD design
• Certified Australian components
• ADR‑compliant braking and lighting systems

Our team produces custom engineering drawings for each trailer, ensuring perfect fitment and compliance with all Australian road and towing regulations.

Load Ratings Available

We build catamaran trailers across a wide range of load capacities to suit everything from small recreational cats to large offshore vessels.

Standard Load Ratings

• 1,500kg ATM – small recreational catamarans
