How to Choose the Right Utility Trailer for Your Needs

Thinking about renting a utility trailer but not sure where to start? You’re not alone. With so many sizes and styles available, it's important to find one that fits your needs exactly.

Let’s walk you through what matters most.

🚚 1. Know What You’re Hauling

Start with your cargo. Are you moving:

  • Lawn equipment?

  • Furniture or appliances?

  • Yard waste or fencing materials?

Choose a trailer that matches the size and weight of your load.

🧮 2. Understand Load Capacity

Don’t overload!
Each trailer has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). Make sure your cargo (plus trailer weight) doesn’t exceed this limit.

📏 3. Choose the Right Size

Typical utility trailers range from 4x6 feet to 7x14 feet.

🔐 4. Secure It Right

Look for trailers with tie-down points, side rails, or enclosed walls to safely strap down your items. This prevents shifting while driving.

🚙 5. Make Sure Your Vehicle Can Tow It

Check your vehicle's towing capacity and ensure it’s compatible with the trailer’s hitch and brake system. We can help you with this if you're unsure!
