Utility Trailers for Any MoveUtility trailers are useful for hauling equipment, supplies or small vehicles, like lawn mowers and motorcycles. They are open on top, which allows for easy loading and unloading. Be sure to secure cargo with straps and a tarp. Steel trailers are very sturdy yet lightweight. This makes them great as all-terrain vehicle (ATV) trailers or utility task vehicle (UTV) trailers. You can use larger trailers as golf cart trailers or as equipment trailers to haul tool chests and construction materials to a jobsite. Some trailers have ramp gates to make loading and unloading equipment easier. The floors of a utility trailer can be made of wood, wire mesh or steel. Make sure you choose a floor material compatible with the loads you expect to carry. Trailers range in length from 4-foot utility trailers to 18-foot tow trailers. Before buying a utility trailer, check to be sure your vehicle is compatible for towing and capable of hauling the extra weight. You may need to install a trailer hitch or signal wiring, too. Whether you’re
shopping for work or for leisure, read our Trailer Buying Guide for valuable information that can help you make the right decision. The guide also can assist you in knowing what your legal obligations may be to your local jurisdiction before you’ll be able to take the trailer on the roads or streets. Please allow additional time at your local store during the
pickup experience for the registered owner to complete additional paperwork. Is it cheaper to build your own utility trailer?Buying your own materials can be expensive. However, buying a utility trailer kit offers you similar discounts compared to the factory-built trailer. In fact, a trailer kit you will build yourself cuts out other costs and often costs much less compared to buying an actual trailer.
Are aluminum utility trailers better than steel?The bottom line is that aluminum is a superior manufacturing material for trailers. While a steel trailer can do the job, an aluminum trailer almost always does a better job. It can last longer, too.
How much does a 12 foot utility trailer weigh?Large enclosed trailers, namely those 12 feet or longer with a bumper pull coupler, typically weigh about 2,700 pounds when empty. Some are little as 900 pounds. Heavy-duty models weigh up to 5,200 pounds.
What are standard utility trailer sizes?As we have discussed a few times, the standard dimensions of a utility trailer are 8', 10', 12', 14', 20', and 22' in length. Trailers seldomly are larger than 8' in width.
