Spring yard cleanup is the perfect time to mow the lawn, get rid of brush and rubbish, spread fresh bark mulch -- maybe even bring home a new grill. It's also a great time to perform your semi-annual trailer maintenance and hitch your utility trailer to the truck to be ready for all your projects.  

Whatever DIY job you have planned this weekend, when it's time to bring junk to the dump or landscaping materials home from the store, nothing beats an aluminum utility trailer. If you don't have one yet, or need to upgrade an old utility trailer that's rusted with something that will last, check out ALCOM's range of aluminum utility trailers and find the perfect fit! 

Utility Trailer Uses

ALCOM builds plenty of trailers with specific jobs, like hauling snowmobiles and personal watercraft, or transporting horses and livestock -- but our utility trailer lineup is a versatile family of aluminum trailers just waiting for you to get creative and come up with a project. Depending on the model and size trailer you choose, the only real limit to what you can haul is payload. Here are a few ideas we've heard from happy ALCOM customers: 

• Move brush, leaves, grass clippings, Christmas trees, etc., and take trash to the dump.
• Bring new furniture or appliances home from the store and unload without hurting your back. 
• Move yard and landscape materials like bark mulch, gravel, pavers, and plants home from the store. 
• Bring a new lawn mower, grill, basketball hoop or camping gear home for the family.
• Take bikes, fishing gear, lawn games, coolers and all your favorite supplies up to camp. 

If you need to move it, chances are, your aluminum utility trailer can help. Which model will you choose? Take a closer look at ALCOM's options.  

SSR Utility Trailers

AR Utility Trailers

Work hard and play harder with the AR Utility Trailer series! Use it for lawn mowers, dump runs, motorcycles -- we're not judging. You can haul all your toys and gear with this versatile option. It comes in nine sizes, from a 54" x 8' to a 80" x 14' trailer, so capacity isn't a concern. Each size has ALCOM's standard all-aluminum construction, LED lights, an integrated rear ramp, and extruded aluminum decking. 

AR series utility trailers also come standard with perimeter and interior track on the trailer deck designed for quick, easy installation of accessory kits. Choose 10" solid sides, 14" slatted sides, or a 2" x 2" rail kit. Keep cargo contained and design your own custom tie-down configurations. Add a stake pocket kit, D-ring kits, or even a cooler tray and tool rack! On 12' and 14' models, you can upgrade to add side ATV ramps to the trailer.

FA Utility Trailers

ALCOM's all-aluminum FA Series open utility trailers come in three versions:

• FA 2.0 Single Axle Utility Trailer: The classic FA Series utility trailer is light enough to maneuver by hand, built with a single torsion ride idler axle, extruded aluminum decking and a fixed 2" x 2" rail kit. Easy-install solid and slatted rail kits, D-ring and stake pocket kits, and upgrade to a bi-fold ramp are available. 
• FA 2.0 Tilting Deck Utility Trailer: Prefer a tilting trailer deck option to our standard fixed deck? Available in 12' or 14', with a 5K upgrade for the 14' model, this tilting deck trailer has a fixed 2" x 2" aluminum rail kit, removable aluminum fenders, and perimeter track for easy installation of tie-downs. Get solid or slatted rails for cargo containment.
• FA 2.0 Tandem Axle Utility Trailer: Get more payload and smooth dual braked axles in 14' to 20' length. This trailer is big enough to bring home your new lawn mower and then haul your ATV to the trailhead once spring yard cleaning is finished! Plus, with standard extruded aluminum decking, it's completely rust-resistant and easy to clean.    

Homeowner Dump Trailers

Need a trailer with side walls and a hydraulic tilt dump system? Check out the 4.5' x 8' and 5' x 8' homeowner dump trailer models! Each has a curb weight under 850 lbs., making them easy to maneuver and tow. The smaller model includes front and rear panels that double as ramps, while the larger version has rear swing doors and a canvas tarp system. Each model includes a 12V hydraulic pump, a power up/down tilt system, and tongue-mounted storage for the controller. Both models are built with a single braked 3500-lb. Dexter leaf spring axle. 

Why opt for a dump trailer? If you want the convenience of a smaller open utility trailer plus the ability to unload materials using a hydraulic tilt system, a dump trailer delivers. Tilt to dump and spread gravel or bark mulch around your yard, or to send brush and waste into the hopper at the landfill.
