Consumer Description
My 2.5 year old, 2020, 7 x 14' Cargo Mate Tandem cargo trailer is not a great product nor even good product. It is a faulty product with a major manufacturing flaws. This unit was not manufactured square and should have never been sold like this and should not been put on road. The axles are not square and is wearing out the left rear tire before the others. The inside edge has worn out (see photo evidence) and has already needed replacement. A real tell tale sign of this is the screws that are supposed to hold the floor boards down do NOT screw into the frame as it is supposed to because the frame does NOT line up (see photo evidence). A badly worn, misaligned trailer tire/axle can suddenly blow out causing a major accident and injury or death. In addition, it is not a quality product as I doubt that the frame has been powder coated nor uncoated as it is rusting worse than a 20 year old unit. A badly rusted frame can cause the axles to seperate and cause a major accident.
