What Grade Utility Trailer Do I Need? 

Appalachian builds Utility Trailers in Light Duty, Standard Duty and Contractor Grade packages. There are multiple capacity ratings available in both Standard Duty and Contractor Grade. There are 3,500 lb., 5,200 lb., and 6,000 lb. axle choices. Tires are matched to axle capacities. We use premium radial tires on our Contractor Grade trailers.

Light Duty Utility Trailers

Light duty utility trailers are designed for light hauling tasks, such as transporting yard waste or small equipment. They typically have a lower weight capacity and are more compact, making them ideal for smaller loads and occasional use.

Standard Duty Utility Trailers

Standard duty utility trailers offer a balance between versatility and durability, suitable for a wide range of hauling needs, including transporting furniture, appliances, or landscaping materials. With a moderate weight capacity and sturdy construction, they can handle regular use with ease.

When to Choose a Contractor Grade Utility Trailer

Contractor grade utility trailers are built for heavy-duty tasks and frequent use, making them the top choice for professionals in construction, landscaping, or agriculture. These trailers boast high weight capacities, reinforced frames, and heavy-duty components, ensuring they can handle demanding loads and rigorous work conditions.

Open vs Enclosed Utility Trailer Options

Open utility trailers offer easy access from all sides, making loading and unloading simple for a variety of cargo types. They are versatile and often more affordable than closed trailers. However, they leave cargo exposed to the elements and lack security for valuable items.

Enclosed utility trailers provide protection from weather elements and theft, making them ideal for transporting valuable or sensitive cargo such as tools, electronics, or furniture. They offer security and privacy, but loading and unloading can be more cumbersome due to limited access points. Enclosed trailers are popular for long-distance hauling or transporting goods requiring protection from rain, wind, or theft.
