Enclosed Landscape Trailers
Landscaper's Dream Enclosed Trailers
Our enclosed landscape trailers are built specifically with landscapers in mind—not just converted cargo trailers. From the frame up, they’re designed to handle commercial use, heavy mowers, and Florida weather.
Below are a few key upgrades that set these trailers apart from typical open trailers and many competing enclosed models.
Corner Gussets
Most trailers rely only on the basic frame rails and walls. We go a step further with reinforced corner gussets that tie the walls, floor, and roof together at critical stress points.
Why it matters:
-
Stronger structure under load – Daily use with zero-turns, stand-on mowers, and heavy blowers can twist and flex lesser trailers. Corner gussets help keep everything square and solid over time.
-
Better ride and less flex – A stiffer trailer frame means less bouncing and rattling, which is easier on your equipment and your crew.
-
Long-term durability – If you’re investing in an enclosed landscape trailer, you want it to last. Corner gussets add the extra strength that separates a pro-grade trailer from a “just good enough” box.
Compared to many open landscape trailers, you’re getting a more rigid, enclosed work platform that’s built to hold up to long-term commercial use.
Polyethylene Vapor Barrier
Florida humidity is no joke. Moisture that builds up under the floor can lead to rust, rot, and soft spots that shorten the life of your trailer.
That’s why these trailers feature a polyethylene vapor barrier—a moisture-resistant layer between the underside of the floor and the elements.
Benefits of the vapor barrier:
-
Helps prevent moisture buildup under the floor
-
Reduces the chance of rust on the frame and corrosion on fasteners
-
Helps protect the deck from rot, keeping the floor solid longer
You might not see it at first glance, but this kind of hidden protection is a big reason these enclosed trailers outlast many competing models—and any basic open mesh landscape trailer.
Set-Back Jack
It only takes one tight turn or one distracted backup to bend a traditional tongue jack.
Our trailers use a set-back jack, positioned farther from the hitch area and designed to be less exposed to accidental contact with:
-
Truck tailgates
-
Weight distribution setups
-
Sharp turns in tight driveways or commercial lots
Why landscapers love it:
-
Less chance of jack damage during everyday hooking and unhooking
-
Easier maneuvering in tight spaces
-
More usable space at the coupler for hitches and accessories
It’s a small change that makes a big difference when you’re dropping and hooking trailers multiple times a day.
Additional Considerations When Buying Enclosed Trailers
What Are You Hauling?
Start with your equipment list and work backward.
Consider:
- Mower types:
- One walk-behind or stand-on mower
- Multiple zero-turns
- Specialty equipment (aerators, dethatchers, spreaders)
- Handheld equipment: trimmers, blowers, edgers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers
- Crew size: one-person operation vs. multi-person crew
- Future growth: Will you be adding another mower or crew in the next year or two?
From there, think about:
- GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): Make sure the trailer’s rating comfortably covers your equipment, fuel, and tools—not just “on paper,” but with a safety margin.
- Size & layout: Longer trailers offer more room for organization and walking space, while shorter trailers are easier to maneuver in tight neighborhoods.
- Interior height: Being able to stand upright inside the trailer makes a huge difference when you’re loading, unloading, and organizing tools all day.
When in doubt, it’s often smarter to step up one size—especially for growing landscaping businesses.
Security & Protection
One of the biggest advantages of an enclosed trailer over an open landscape trailer is security and weather protection.
With an enclosed landscape trailer, you can:
- Keep equipment out of sight from passing traffic and potential thieves
- Lock up your investment at the end of the day or between jobs
- Protect tools from Florida’s weather—sudden rain, sun exposure, and windblown debris
Rain is a near-daily reality in much of Florida. With an enclosed trailer, your mowers, trimmers, and blowers stay dry and ready to work instead of sitting exposed on an open trailer.
Temporary Storage
Your enclosed landscape trailer can also serve as rolling storage.
- Multi-day jobs: Park the trailer on-site (where allowed) and leave your equipment secured and ready to go.
- At home or at the shop: Instead of unloading everything every night, many landscapers use their enclosed trailer as a locked storage unit for their entire setup.
- Off-season: When the busy season slows down, the trailer can double as a clean, dry place to store seasonal equipment and materials.
This is a benefit open trailers simply can’t match—especially in a humid climate where equipment left outside ages quickly.
Branding – Get Your Name Out There!
An enclosed trailer isn’t just a tool—it’s a rolling billboard.
With a clean, smooth exterior, you can:
- Add full or partial wraps with your logo and brand colors
- Apply vinyl lettering with your phone number and website
- Showcase services and specialties (residential, commercial, HOA, etc.)
Every mile you drive and every minute you’re parked at a job site becomes free advertising. An open trailer doesn’t give you nearly as much usable space for branding.
