Trailer type guide

Landscape trailers

A landscape trailer is a utility trailer equipped for commercial lawn and property work, often with a ramp gate and racks for handheld tools.

What is a landscape trailer used for?

Landscape trailers are utility trailers configured for mowers, handheld equipment and daily crew access.

  • Zero-turn and walk-behind mowers
  • Trimmers, blowers and fuel cans
  • Mulch and bagged materials
  • Daily route work

What formats are common?

The name covers multiple configurations. These are common formats, not a complete list.

  • Open utility body
  • Ramp gate or split gate
  • Single- or tandem-axle
  • Tool cages and equipment racks

What should you compare before buying or renting?

Compare the exact unit and complete towing setup. Do not decide from trailer type or advertised length alone.

  • Gate rating for the heaviest mower
  • Deck width between rails
  • Rack placement and tongue weight
  • Floor material and drainage
  • Brake and lighting setup

When is this trailer type a poor fit?

An enclosed landscape trailer may be better when theft protection and weather containment outweigh added weight and cost.
