About Landscape Utility / Light Duty Trailers

Landscape utility and light-duty trailers have gross weight ratings of 7,500 pounds (3,400 kilograms) or less and are ideal for transporting plants, tree branches, yard waste, and more. They typically feature a metal frame with a wood floor and mesh sidewalls. Some models feature drop-down sidewalls in addition to the rear gate for easier unloading or racks and compartments designed to hold tools and lawn maintenance equipment. They may also have enough space for a push or compact riding lawnmower on the platform.

Landscape vs. Other Types Of Utility Trailers

Three other common types of utility trailers are cargo, dump, and flat. Flat trailers are the most similar to landscape trailers but they typically have shorter sidewalls made of metal, wood, or mesh; they may also just have posts. This means they are more ideal for hauling items such as ATVs and other compact vehicles, or any load where there’s no concern for potential weather damage.

Cargo utility trailers are enclosed, which means extra protection for the cargo. They can also transport smaller items during a move, for example, without fear of items blowing away. They may feature a lockable side door for easier access to the middle of the trailer in addition to the rear door, which you can secure with a padlock for extra protection.

Dump trailers are so named because they feature one or more hydraulic rams that lift the cargo box so materials can pour out through the rear gate. They are ideal for hauling sand, rocks, building material scraps, and other loads for smaller construction jobs, DIY projects, and other similar applications. Two things all of these types of trailers have in common is that most are constructed of either aluminum or steel and they nearly all have either single or tandem axles.
