Aluminum trailers for landscaping crews.

Haul mowers, tools, mulch, fuel cans, and jobsite materials with a trailer that's light, corrosion-resistant, and built for daily loading.

A Rugged tandem-axle all-aluminum utility trailer with diamond-plate sides hauling a small orange compact tractor, parked on a green lawn.

What you typically haul.

The recommended 6.5×14 tandem utility provides a nominal 78×168-inch deck and 5,911 lb estimated base payload for mowers, handheld gear, and materials. The published deck dimensions above set the footprint. Add the actual loaded weights of the mowers, fuel, attachments, handheld tools, and material, then compare that total with the builder’s live remaining-payload figure.

What to add. What to skip.

A short list beats a long options sheet. These calls come from how this work actually loads and rides — change any of them in the builder.

Worth adding

Earns its keep on every trip.

Bi-fold ramp
A rear bi-fold ramp makes daily mower loading fast.
Swivel D-ring tie-downs
Floor swivel D-rings secure mowers and equipment for the road.
Mesh tarp kit
A mesh tarp keeps mulch and debris contained between stops.
Spare tire
A mounted spare keeps a crew moving when a tire goes down mid-route.

Quantities, sizes, and loading specifics are confirmed in the builder

Skip unless the work demands it

Money better left on the deck.

Interior cabinetry
Cabinetry belongs to enclosed builds; open decks favor clear floor space for equipment.
Power packages
Powered interiors are typically more than a landscaping crew needs on an open trailer.

If the work changes, your specialist can revisit these with you

Loading
A bi-fold ramp or tilt deck supports loading mowers and wheeled equipment.
Organization
Dedicate floor zones for rolling equipment and use rail-mounted points for handheld tools.
Power
Open landscaping trailers need no added power; standard road lighting is included.
