HOSTAR designs and builds state-of-the-art hydraulic trailers for
today's marina's, boatyards, haulers, restorers, dealers, and manufacturers.
Our hydraulic trailers solve the problems of limited storage space, high
transporting and handling costs, unwieldy cradles and time-consuming loading
and launching procedures. A completely open center, simple controls, and
hydraulically driven arms and frame are the keys to their timesaving and
laborsaving capabilities. A HOSTAR hydraulic trailer requires only one
operator to handle ramp launching and haulout, loading and off-loading,
transporting and storing.
Committed to providing hydraulic trailers and allied equipment of the
highest quality, we have earned our reputation for incomparable value and
superior customer service. We equip our trailers with the finest components,
U.S. made wherever possible, and out welders and mechanics are exceptional
craftsmen who take great pride in their work. We are known for our
willingness to adapt designs to fit special customer requirements which
often results in interesting and innovative improvements.
Our customers, who use their trailers on a daily basis, have become our
best salesmen! We invite you to talk with some of them and to call us or
visit our plant here in Massachusetts.
