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!
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:

Get the best features of an open utility trailer, plus fixed short side walls to enclose and secure cargo, with the SSR Utility Trailer series. Available in 5'x8', 5'x10' or 6'x12', SSR aluminum trailers have fixed 20" sides with .086" aluminum skin. Other standard features include 1/2" marine tech plywood decking, integrated aluminum rear ramp, welded aluminum fenders, and LED lights. Want the ultimate rust resistance? Upgrade to an extruded aluminum trailer deck.
This lightweight, versatile trailer is great for hauling lawn care equipment, brush, garden supplies and more. Add surface-mount or recessed D-rings for extra cargo tie-down choices. Add a Northern Package and get a bifold rear ramp and reinforced sides (available in single- or tandem-axle configuration). For a compact trailer that's ultra-versatile, choose the SSR series.
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. For a bigger trailer that's up for any yardwork or adventure, choose the AR series.
ALCOM's all-aluminum FA Series open utility trailers come in three versions:
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.
