Reasons Why People Like a Light Duty Trailer

 

There are people who really like a light duty trailer and can not live without one. Light duty trailers are great transportation for hauling material needed for somewhat smaller and less invasive tasks completed at residential, commercial, and civil properties. Light duty trailers are frequently used for maintenance and repair functions by counties and municipalities, commercial realtors, property developers, sports facilities, large and small estates, golf courses, farmers, ranchers and homeowner associations. Services provided by light duty trailers may include landscaping, seeding, ground preparation, aeration, excavation, grading, disking and rototilling. Light duty trailer services may also include inspection and maintenance tasks at various properties.

Light duty trailers, also known as cargo trailers, are open trailers that require less material and weigh less than other hauls. Less trailer weight equates to less wear and tear on the vehicles doing the hauling. It results in fuel savings, and easier vehicle maneuverability. Light duty trailers which are open trailers offer more visibility, making them easier to haul, drive and park. Open trailers tend to be easier to load and unload, and are also easier to clean.

Light duty trailers are used for a multitude of services such as: seeding and ground preparation, acreage fertilization, aeration, excavation, grading, disking and rototilling. Government run organizations use light duty trailers to inspect and maintain facilities, conduct environmental testing, remediation, mitigation, evaluation of groundwater and soil conditions, grading land, digging trenches, grading of driveways, roadways and easements, grading of land, improving open spaces, improving pastures and fields, and for specialized mowing along hillsides, ditches and embankments.

Other organizations that may use light duty trailers provide services for taxpayer-approved building projects at schools or universities with agriculture programs, arboretums or gardens. They have been used for grading of land for commercial and residential construction projects or digging trenches for utilities, and improvement of open spaces, pastures and fields at housing developments.

Cost is a significant factor for a lot of people looking to buy a light duty trailer. Open utility trailers are almost always lower in price than enclosed utility trailers of comparable size due to the difference in manufacturing materials. Open light duty utility trailers may offer less security than enclosed light duty trailers that can be closed and locked. The interior contents are more visible, as well. Passersby can not see the contents of an enclosed trailer, so they can also be used as storage units safely protecting its contents. When fully loaded, a small enclosed light duty utility trailer can be rated for a maximum of up to 7,000 pounds. Trailers less than 12 feet in length have a capacity of about 2, 200 pounds.

Enclosed light duty utility trailers also safeguard contents from inclement weather, another important benefit. During storms, the material and contents will remain safeguarded, dry and protected. Enclosed light duty trailers can also be customized with benches and shelves. Individuals who provide portable services frequently use enclosed light duty utility trailers to transport all their tools and supplies to clients’ sites.
