utility trailers

Hitched cargo platforms

Utility trailers are unpowered vehicles towed behind cars or trucks to haul cargo.

They range from small open-bed trailers for lawn equipment to enclosed models for moving furniture.

We rented a utility trailer to bring the lumber home.

Unlike specialized trailers (boat trailers, horse trailers), utility trailers serve general hauling purposes.
