Big-Boot Luggage Carrier

The Big-Boot (Big-Trunk) Luggage Carrier was built by a husband and wife partnership in Victoria, Australia. 400-500 of these fiberglass box trailers were built and sold in for around $400. On a special request basis, the trailers fiberglass was died in the manufacturing process for special colors. The box itself is about 1 meter (3.25ft) square by 20" tall with a removable lid (not hinged). The wheel is positioned behind the trailer instead of underneath as seen in the picture above, and with a max load of 100kg (220lbs), the center of gravity is as much on the car as the trailer wheel itself. Of the 400-500 produced in Austraila, a few made it to the US, Japan, Iran and Europe. These trailers may been produced in the 80's. If you have any info, literature or pictures of your Big-Boot send them to so we can share with everybody.

The "Big Boot" or Big Trunk in American were made in Victoria, Australia up until the 1980's.

Owned by Brad Calvert. I'm in australia, and have a locally made one-wheeled trailer, called "Big-Boot Luggage Carrier" (Boot = US trunk). I bought it about a year ago (2000) at a garage sale for $A170 = $US80, it's in VGC.  I'd never seen one like it before. I'd never seen one like it before, then just a few months later I met someone who has one the same, he says he bought it new in 1980, (for areound $500). [Which Brad is going to send us pics of soon...I hope!!]

Owned by Barry Hamm. I'll send you some pictures and more detail later but for the moment. The "Big Boot" or Big Trunk in American were made in Victoria, Australia up until the 1980's. It's taken me awhile but here are some more pictures of my trailer.
