High-Quality Open Utility Landscape Trailers
Open utility landscape trailers are the go-to for crews who want speed and flexibility—easy loading, quick tie-downs, and an open deck that handles everything from mowers to mulch runs.
Detro focuses on Sure-Trac Tube Top Utility styles—built to stay rigid and square over time, even with constant loading/unloading.
Why landscapers like tube-top open utility trailers
Rigid tube-top framing (built for daily use)
Sure-Trac’s tube-top design is built around a 2" x 2" tube top rail and uprights, and the rail is described as full-seam welded to the uprights—one reason tube-top trailers are favored over lighter, basic open trailer designs.
Set-back jack = fewer “oops” moments
Set-back jacks improve clearance and help reduce interference around the coupler area—especially helpful for real jobsite turns and modern truck tailgates.
(And Sure-Trac calls out setback jacks as a common landscape/utility feature.)
Ramp systems that keep crews moving
Landscapers load constantly, so ramps matter. Sure-Trac configurations commonly highlight spring-assist ramp setups and reinforced gate designs on landscape/utility lines.
Open trailer styles to consider
Tube Top Utility
Great for: mower routes, equipment hauling, general landscape work.
Tube Top 3-Board High Side
Great for: mulch, debris, clippings, loose material containment while keeping utility flexibility.
Heavy-Duty Enclosed Landscape Trailers
If you’re ready to upgrade from open hauling, an enclosed landscape trailer is the move for security, weather protection, and a more professional presence on job sites.
These purpose-built enclosed models are designed for daily commercial use, and many landscapers choose them specifically for what they prevent: theft risk, weather delays, and gear getting beat up in transit.
What makes a “landscape” enclosed trailer different?
Corner gussets = built to take a beating
Reinforced stress points help the trailer stay tighter and straighter over years of loading/unloading.
Polyethylene vapor barrier = helps fight moisture and rust
A moisture-resistant layer helps reduce moisture buildup under the floor and helps protect the frame and fasteners over time—especially relevant in wet seasons and winter storage.
Set-back jack = easier hitching + less accidental damage
Better clearance around the hitch zone makes everyday hook/unhook simpler and helps reduce damage from tight turns and busy job sites.
Brand spotlight (manufacturer reference): Sure-Trac’s Landscape Pro Round Top Enclosed is positioned specifically for landscaping use.
How to Choose the Right Landscape Trailer
The right trailer depends on what you haul today and what you’ll add next season.
GVWR + payload
List your mower(s), handheld tools, racks, fuel cans, and material loads—and choose GVWR with headroom for growth. (Many purpose-built enclosed landscape models are offered in multiple GVWR configurations depending on size.)
Size (length/width/height)
Common enclosed landscape sizes are often in the 7' wide to 8.5' wide range, with lengths such as 14', 16', 18', 20', and 24'.
Also consider workflow: where the mower parks, where trimmers/blowers mount, and how the crew moves in/out.

Why Enclosed Wins for Many Indiana Crews
If you work through shoulder seasons (or store gear through winter), enclosed trailers solve problems open trailers can’t:
- Security: lockable, out-of-sight equipment
- Protection: keeps tools out of rain/sun/debris
- All-weather storage: practical off-season storage in Indiana winters
- Branding: clean exterior for decals/wraps (more professional look)

FAQ
What’s the biggest difference between an open utility landscape trailer and an enclosed landscape trailer?
Open utility trailers prioritize speed and flexibility. Enclosed trailers prioritize security and protection—locking tools up and keeping equipment out of weather.
What’s the advantage of tube-top construction on open utility trailers?
Tube-top framing is designed for rigidity and long-term durability—helping the trailer stay square under load and over time.
Why do set-back jacks matter for landscapers?
Set-back jacks improve clearance around the hitch zone and help reduce accidental damage during tight turns and jobsite maneuvering.
How do I choose the right size?
Start with your mower footprint and typical weekly hauling, then factor in growth (more tools, racks, or bigger equipment later).
