Alcom Aluminum Trailers for Sale — Authorized Texas Dealer
Trailer Place is your authorized Alcom dealer in Wharton, TX, carrying their premium lineup
of all-aluminum enclosed trailers, utility trailers, and specialty trailers. Alcom (Aluminum
Company of Maine) manufactures some of the lightest, most durable aluminum trailers in the
industry — perfect for buyers who want the corrosion resistance and weight savings that only
aluminum can deliver.
Why Choose Aluminum? Why Alcom?
Aluminum trailers offer significant advantages over steel, especially in Texas’s humid Gulf Coast
climate. Aluminum doesn’t rust, weighs 30-40% less than steel (meaning better fuel economy and
more payload capacity), and maintains its value longer. Alcom takes these inherent advantages
and adds premium construction: all-tube aluminum framing, seamless aluminum sheet exteriors,
stainless steel hardware, and meticulous fit and finish. The result is a trailer that looks great,
hauls efficiently, and lasts for decades without the rust and deterioration that plague steel
trailers in our coastal humidity.

Aluminum vs. Steel Trailers: Key Differences
Many buyers wonder whether aluminum is worth the higher upfront cost. Here’s the breakdown:
an aluminum trailer weighs 30-40% less, which means your truck uses less fuel and can carry
more payload before hitting GVWR limits. Aluminum never rusts — critical in Texas humidity —
so your trailer maintains its structural integrity and resale value for 20+ years. While aluminum
trailers cost 20-30% more upfront, the total cost of ownership is often lower when you factor
in fuel savings, no rust repairs, and higher resale value.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Alcom aluminum trailer cost?
Alcom enclosed aluminum trailers typically range from $7,000 to $25,000+ depending on size
and configuration. While they cost more than steel equivalents, they last longer and hold
their value better.
Can a half-ton truck tow an Alcom trailer?
Many Alcom models are specifically designed for half-ton truck towing. Their lightweight
aluminum construction means a smaller truck can tow the same cargo capacity that would
require a 3/4-ton truck with a steel trailer.
