How you plan to use the utility trailer is a major deciding factor in the type of trailer you buy. The best trailer characteristics for your needs should be determined based on the type of cargo you plan to haul and how frequently you plan to haul it.
The weight of both the load and the vehicle is another primary deciding factor. To make sure a trailer is compatible, check the gross combined weight rating or GCWR. This stat is the maximum towing capacity weight of the trailer.
The hitch weight, or the weight that rests on the tow vehicle's hitch, is also essential. The trailer tongue weight should never exceed the hitch weight, or you'll create unsafe driving conditions.
Utility Trailers are useful for homeowners, professionals, and everyone in between. But shopping for the right trailer can be challenging, so we put together a few questions to ask yourself to help match you with your perfect trailer.
What Are The Standard Utility Trailer Sizes?
The most popular utility trailer sizes range from 4' to 16' for single axles. 18' to 24' utility trailers are less common as they are designed to haul heavier loads. Most of them are usually goosenecks or tandem axles.
4ft X 6ft & 5ft X 7ft are the best sellers among utility trailers in the United States. They are long enough to be hauled by a small car and compact enough to maneuver around tight spaces easily. This trailer is perfect for anyone who needs occasional transport for smaller loads.
What Should I Look For When Buying A Utility Trailer?
The specs you should look for when buying a utility trailer depend on what you plan to use it for. If you are only going to use the trailer occasionally, you don't need to invest in a heavy-duty utility trailer. However, there are some general things you should always look for when purchasing a trailer:
- The Hitch Weight
- Payload Capacity
- The Size Of The Utility Trailer
- Trailer Safety
- Trailer Parts and Accessories
- Trailer Maintenance
- Trailer Registration Requirements
What Are The Different Types Of Hitches?
There are three types of jointers: ball mount, pintle hitch, and gooseneck.
Ball Mount
The most common type of jigger is the ball mount. It uses a trailer ball that attaches to the tow vehicle. This type of jigger is perfect for anyone who needs occasional transport for smaller loads.
Pintle Hitch
The pintle hitch is a more heavy-duty option and is perfect for anyone who needs to haul heavier loads more frequently. It uses a pivoting head that attaches to the tow vehicle.
Gooseneck
The gooseneck hitch is the most heavy-duty option and is perfect for anyone who needs to haul the heaviest loads. It uses a pivoting head that attaches to the tow vehicle –with a neck that extends down from the trailer to the back of the truck. This type of jigger is perfect for anyone who needs to haul large equipment or animals.
Are Aluminum Trailers High Quality?
Aluminum utility trailers are undoubtedly worth every penny. They are lightweight, resist rust & corrosion, and have better overall durability than steel trailers. For instance, most horse owners prefer aluminum trailers because they have a higher payload capacity. That means you can pull more weight without putting extra stress on your tow vehicle.
How Much Weight Can A 5x7 Utility Trailer Hold?
Most 5x7 utility trailers can hold around 1,600lbs. This weight capacity is perfect for smaller loads, such as a motorcycle or ATV, hauling dirt to and from your garden, taking out the trash, or lugging around camping equipment to the campsite.
