open trailer

Roofless towing platform

An open trailer is a trailer without a roof or enclosed sides, used for hauling equipment, vehicles, or materials that don't require weather protection.

Flatbed trailers and utility trailers are common types.

The term distinguishes these from enclosed trailers or box trailers: We loaded the ATVs onto an open trailer.
