This is perhaps a bit of an odd review, but I think it speaks directly to the type of company and product and people you can expect to find at Imago. I've been researching dump trailers for quite a while, trying to figure out what the best quality, longest lasting trailer is for the money. I don't work in the trade, but do a lot of construction and land improvements on my own properties and needed something to haul my bobcat as well as haul debris to the landfill and bring materials to my building sites. I feel strongly about buying quality tools so I can keep them for a long time and they won't let me down. I was looking for the same qualities in a trailer. I would rather not buy something if I can't afford to get the best, and save up until I can buy the right one-- rather than save a few bucks and get something of lower quality. So I did my research-- spoke to friends and anybody I saw driving around with a dump trailer, researched online, checked out the competitive products in person and everything pointed to one product which was pretty obviously the gold standard in the industry-- Imago. I won't go through the line by line comparision with all of the competitors, but I'm sure you'll figure it out the minute you start looking at different companies' offerings side by side-- the quality of materials, workmanship and thoughtful design are just conspicuously better with Imago. So that was the hard part-- the decision was made. I called Imago and spoke to Javier who I believe is the owner. Super nice guy-- not trying to make a sale, just happy to talk about trailers and answer every question I have. Really knowledgeable and genuinely concerned about making sure I am getting the right trailer for my needs. But there's a problem-- he is running 6 weeks delivery lead time and I need a trailer right away because I have to move my bobcat. I desperately needed a trailer and plenty of competitors had product sitting on their lots, but I really didn't want to compromise on this decision. Javier brings up a customer who just bought a trailer-- the exact model I want to buy-- a few months back but is having a major health issue and needs to sell it. Javier reaches out to the seller several times, follows up with me, and makes sure I am able to reach the seller. I go see the trailer the next day and buy it on the spot. This deal had nothing to do with Javier-- he was just helping out a customer in a tight spot and helping me-- and bear in mind he was basically killing a sale of a new trailer by doing this. That's somebody who sees the big picture and is in it for the long haul. So I've lived with this trailer for a little while now and I can confirm that everything I had hoped to be true about the Imago product absolutely is-- these things are built like tanks and work all day without complaint-- but the most impressive thing is that every single detail has been thought out just right-- when you are reaching for a tie-down D ring- there it is-- just where you need it; when you open the doors, the locking pin is easy to latch; and on and on. I can't say enough good things about these trailers, but more importantly you will be buying it from a great company which cares about their product and the user experience long after the sale. Honestly, Javier is a rare find in a world filled with slick salesmen who will feed you any line of bull just to make a sale. If you need a dump trailer, buy an Imago. Period. read more
