Upgrade stripped-down utility trailers to move mulch and tow your tools.
If you have a 16-inch-tall angle-iron trailer body, you’re limited with what you can tow unless you add to it and upgrade the utility trailer.
I’m a trailer guy. Yes, a dump truck would rock for heavy haul-outs, and a big box truck would be great for storing tools and serving as a mobile workshop. But, depending on the day, the work we do may range from residential bathroom improvements to our Food Network bakery make-overs. We may also tackle a weekend DIY project like hauling mulch and a mower to a friend’s house. This variety of jobs requires the flexibility a trailer offers.
We can also leave a trailer at the jobsite and just drive the truck by itself, which isn’t possible with the aforementioned vehicles. Part FedEx, part dumpster, all workhorse, our trailer sees no end to its work … or play, for that matter. A utility trailer is a king vacation machine, too. Forget about jamming everything you own into the SUV. Put the bikes, beach blankets and Beanie Babies in the trailer and ride in style.
If all you have is the common 16-in. tall angle-iron trailer body, you’re limited to how much you can get in and out of a simple utility trailer. That is, unless you add to it.
