Compact, reliable, and built for everyday hauling, the Carry-On 5 x 8 Landscape Utility Trailer is ideal for small-scale landscaping, light construction, and general transport needs. It features a 5-foot wide by 8-foot long pressure-treated wooden deck, framed by low-profile steel side rails that offer containment without obstructing access. The trailer is supported by a single 3,000 lb-rated axle, fitted with 15-inch white-spoke wheels and radial tires for stable towing across urban and rural terrain. A rear mesh ramp gate allows for easy loading of wheelbarrows, lawn equipment, or boxed goods. The front end includes a 2-inch coupler, jack stand, and safety chains, while DOT-approved lighting ensures visibility and compliance on public roads. Its powder-coated black finish adds a layer of protection against rust and wear, making it a durable choice for both business and personal use.
To keep this trailer in optimal condition, consistent maintenance is key. Inspect the wooden deck monthly for signs of cracking, rot, or loose boards—especially after exposure to moisture. Grease the wheel bearings every 3,000 km or quarterly to prevent overheating and wear. Check tire pressure weekly, and rotate tires every 5,000 km to extend their lifespan. Lubricate the ramp gate hinges and coupler latch regularly to ensure smooth operation. After hauling soil, gravel, or fertilizer, rinse the deck and steel frame thoroughly to prevent corrosion. Touch up any chipped paint promptly to preserve the trailer’s finish and resale value. For long-term storage, consider covering the trailer or parking it under shade to protect against UV damage.
