Fibre Core Trailers

I have a 2007 PT-710 Fibercore trailer for making shaved ice in the Daytona Beach Florida area. I purchased it used but I plan to purchase a new one once my business takes off. It’s an amazing concession trailer well worth the investment. It’s made of fiberglass so you never have to deal with rust or replacing water damaged wood. If you have done your research like me you won’t purchase any other trailer!!!

We love our fibre core trailer and we had a great experience having it made, they are great people to work with. The trailer was fair priced and great quality.

Excellent product. Excellent value. Nicest people you'd ever want to do business with.

My trailer is 15 years old and still looks like new!

Put a order in back in October with $9k down. Told the trailer would be completed by May-April. Sounded good. Now come to find out after calling and calling to see when it might be completed is July or later. The lady keep blaming others for the delay. First her dad passed then ex employees sabotaged, then people stole from the buisness. I asked why they never communicated with us. She was rude and keep saying I'm trying then hung up on me. Now WE have to tell our clients that we cannot be there for them and loosing money. Guess I'll be buying a trailer from somewhere else. UP DATE, now being told No refunds on something not started. STAY FAR WAY from these SCAMMERS.

Placed trailer order in late 2021 with required half down payment. Trailer was finally “ready for pickup” in March 2023 which was way past quoted delivery date. Encountered issues with trailer 10 miles from picking up - no answers to phone calls, no replies to emails, and even rejecting certified mail. What once was a trusted company that stands behind their trailers is no more - look elsewhere.

If I could give zero stars I would.

My sister bought a model PT-714 just over a year ago and it’s been an absolute nightmare from the start. To start off the trailer was not finished and ready on the day it was supposed to be picked up and we wasted a 1600 mile trip and were told it would be delivered for our troubles. A day before the delivery date we were told the trailer would be dropped off at a city over 200 miles away from us and we were to meet the driver and take delivery of the trailer. That’s just the start of the story.
In the first year of use:

1. The water pump failed in the first few hours of use due to plastic shavings being left in the water tank during installation

2. The water fill hose had to be rerouted to remove kinks so water could be added to the trailer (kind of important)

3. The water fill fitting on top of the tank had to be replaced because the original one was installed with silicone instead of an actual bulkhead and caused it to leak.

4. The overhead shelving bows down if more than a few pounds worth of items are put on it

5. The front door seal leaks any time it rains and has done this since day one

6. The seal covering the side “vending” door hinge fell off

7. The water pump had to be repositioned to a lower spot in the trailer otherwise it would lose prime and not pump water

8. The water heater brackets were attached with very small screws and broke loose right away, allowing the water heater to bounce around in the trailer

9. A second power service had to be added to the trailer because as it sits it will pull more than 30 amps and will blow breakers wherever it is plugged in. Nothing more is being used in the trailer than what it was originally designed for.

10. More supports had to be added to the fresh and waste water tanks under the trailer to keep them from dragging on the ground.

11. The water tank drains that fiber core installed are less than 2” off the ground which is not nearly enough clearance for a trailer that is being pulled down the road.

12. The trailer brake wiring near the axles was connected with wire nuts made for house wiring and will allow moisture to enter the wiring connection and cause the brakes to fail.

13. Currently the trailer is having an electrical issue and blowing breakers any time the A/C unit is turned on and has possibly ruined our portable generator.

There is probably more we’ve forgotten about in the last year but you get the idea. Fibre Core trailers are absolute garbage. Do not waste your time, go buy a real vendor trailer and save yourself the headache. Also there is no warranty unless you bring the trailer back to fibre core which is 742 miles from us.

I do all of the general maintenance for my sister’s business and so far we’ve had to work on every single part of the trailer except for the axles. That’s all that’s left.
