Size and capacity
Utility trailers are open flatbed style trailers, often equipped with low side rails. They are commonly used to transport gardening equipment, building materials and other items that do not require protection from the elements. Cargo trailers, on the other hand, are enclosed and provide a safe and weatherproof space for transporting goods. They are ideal for delivering fragile or valuable items and long-distance transport.
Utility trailers, while simple in design, suit a variety of industries because of their adaptability. From agriculture and landscaping to recreational uses such as hauling ATVs and camping gear, these trailers support a wide spectrum of applications. Conversely, cargo trailers are often used by businesses that need to protect items such as electronics, furniture or perishables from environmental factors.
