Before purchasing your new utility trailer, it's important to first determine the primary use and storage location of your trailer. This will help you pinpoint your trailer needs, so that you ensure you buy only as much trailer as you need - not more, and not less.

The first thing to determine is the kind of material you will be hauling in your trailer. If you plan to transport weather sensitive items, multiple small items, or extremely valuable items, you may want to consider an enclosed trailer. These trailers are made of sturdy material and are completely enclosed, usually with a lockable door, keeping your cargo safe and secure from the elements or from thieves. Enclosed trailers are also the best option if you plan to travel long distances at 45 mph or faster. These types of trailers are not particularly aerodynamic and thus can decrease fuel economy.

If you plan to transport very heavy, bulky items, such as cement, building materials, or even cars, then a flatbed trailer may be your best option. The flatbed design of the trailer evenly distributes the weight of your load across the entire frame, putting less strain and wear and tear on the frame, allowing you to haul heavier loads than most other trailers.

If you will be hauling and dumping loose loads of things like rock, gravel, bark or trash, then you probably want a hydraulic trailer. These trailers have a hydraulic system that raises and lowers the trailer bed, making loading and dumping much easier. These trailers can be installed on almost any kind of vehicle, including trucks, SUVs, or cars.

A box frame trailer is the right one for you if you want easy access to lots of equipment and tools. These trailers have a large, open box frame that safely contains your equipment, but lets you access it without having to unload all of your cargo. You can find a range of sizes from 6' X 4' to 20' X 8'.

Another factor to consider is storage. If you plan to store your trailer outside, you will likely want an enclosed trailer, which will protect the inside of the trailer and prolong it's usage. For all other types of trailers, it is preferable to store them under a carport or in a garage.

When purchasing your trailer, consider buying one used. With the exception of hydraulic trailers, there are few moving or hidden parts, which makes determining the trailer's quality fairly easy. Try to find trailers that are two to three years old. These will have the least ware and tear for the money - in fact, most sell for about ½ of the original price.
