What are Utility Trailers?
Let’s back up a little bit. If you’re not familiar with the term, utility trailers are open flatbed trailers that either feature no walls or low-side walls about a foot high. They’re typically less than 16 ft. in length and they feature a gate or ramp in the back for convenient cargo loading. Some models feature a high wall so equipment from falling off. Utility trailers don’t usually have a front axle resting on one or two sets of wheels positioned toward the middle or back of the bed.
You’ll be able to choose from a few different hitching styles, including fifth wheel couplings that anchor to the back of a truck bed and triangular frame tongues of various lengths that are bumper-pulled. You can also choose a short or long utility trailer made from different materials. For example, some models have a wooden bed while others have metal mesh-style flooring. The style you choose will be determined by what you plan to carry in it, how flexible your budget is, and how durable your trailer needs to be.
Best Uses
Versatility is one of the many features that makes utility trailers so appealing as they can be used to tow large and small vehicles or they can be used for general transport when you need a lot of room to carry bulky equipment and tools. You can also use your utility trailer to haul away large amounts of trash and debris if you’re landscaping. They’re perfect for hauling lawn equipment, clippings, and other materials. There are really no limits to what you can use your utility trailer for!
