If you run a lawn care business, landscaping company, or just maintain multiple properties, having the right trailer to haul your mowers and equipment is essential. The wrong trailer means wasted time loading and unloading, damaged equipment, and lost money. The right one keeps your crew moving efficiently all day long.
At Trailer Place in Wharton, TX, we help lawn care professionals and property owners find the perfect trailer for their mower hauling needs every day. Here is what you need to know.
Utility Trailers: The Lawn Care Workhorse
For most lawn care operations, a utility trailer is the go-to choice. Open-top designs make loading and unloading zero-turn mowers, push mowers, edgers, and blowers fast and easy. A 6×12 or 7×14 utility trailer can carry 2-3 commercial mowers plus all your hand tools.
Look for features like a mesh floor or solid steel deck, fold-down gate ramp for easy drive-on loading, tie-down points, and a built-in trimmer rack or weed eater holder. Brands like Diamond C and Iron Bull build utility trailers with the kind of heavy-duty construction that holds up to daily commercial use.
Equipment Trailers: When You Need More Capacity
If you run a larger operation with skid steers, stand-on mowers, or heavy commercial zero-turns, an equipment trailer gives you the payload capacity and deck space to haul everything in one trip. Equipment trailers typically offer 7,000 to 14,000 lb GVWR, fold-up ramps or dovetail loading, and wider deck widths for side-by-side mower placement.
Iron Bull equipment trailers are a popular choice for landscapers because of their heavy-gauge steel construction and powder-coated finish that stands up to the Texas heat and humidity.
Enclosed Trailers: Protect Your Investment
Commercial mowers are expensive — a quality zero-turn can cost $8,000 to $15,000+. An enclosed cargo trailer protects your equipment from theft, weather, and road debris. Many lawn care companies use enclosed trailers as mobile workshops, storing tools, fuel, parts, and equipment all in one secure space.
Cargo Craft and Alcom make excellent enclosed trailers for this purpose. Look for side doors for quick access, interior lighting, and ventilation to prevent heat buildup.
Dump Trailers: Double Duty for Landscapers
Many landscaping companies find that a dump trailer pulls double duty — haul your mowers to the job site, then use the dump function to move mulch, topsoil, gravel, or yard debris. A 5×10 or 6×12 dump trailer for landscaping is one of the most versatile investments you can make.
What Size Trailer Do You Need for Mowers?
Here is a quick sizing guide:
- 1 residential mower + hand tools: 5×8 or 5×10 utility trailer
- 1-2 commercial zero-turns: 6×12 or 7×14 utility trailer
- 2-3 commercial mowers + full crew gear: 7×16 or 7×18 equipment trailer
- Full landscaping fleet (mowers + skid steer): 7×20 equipment trailer or 20ft+ gooseneck
