  • Enclosed trailer

    I'm in the process of opening an Outdoor Services company. Mainly starting off in lawncare for the moment. I've been looking at enclosed trailers and was wondering what good trailers are out there. As of now, I've looked at Homesteader, Haulmark, WellsCargo, and Pace. As of right now, Pace and Homesteader are out. Haulmark looks to have a nice trailer, but haven't seen a WellsCargo in person. Any info would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Waterboy

    Haulmark and Wells cargo make fine trailers. Don't have a clue about Homesteader. I had a pace and it sucked, the cable mechanism for the aft door broke within the first year and then shortly after, both of the aft door hinges broke. The support to where they are welded up was pretty thin. If you decide to get an enclosed, get a tall car hauler, they'll last much longer.
    If you feel that you must burn our flag, please wrap yourself in it first.

      Well, at the moment, I've narrowed in down to a 7x16. I think the 14 would be a little small when I get another ztr or walk behind.

      Funny you mention the Pace, today I looked at a pace and it was new and one of the cables was already broken.

        I drove about 7 hours to Tramp Trailers in Savannah, GA and saved about $1,000. The interior walls come standard with 3/8" plywood. Much better than PACE from what I've seen.

          I know I said the Pace was out. But I found a Pace Summit Landscape trailer and they say they are built better than the normal enclosed trailers. What do you guys think of this trailer.

          I also found an open trailer made by Forest Rivers (I think) that is all aluminum. Only downside is they offer no racks out of aluminum
