advice on buying a utility trailer - beerman - 09-26-2008
I'm starting to do alot of beer brewing demonstrations and I have to haul a truckload of stuff to each event. The problem is that I don't own a truck so I'm always begging a favor from someone. The other problem is that the brewing stand is very heavy and it is difficult for two people to lift it into the truck (I overbuilt). So I'm thinking about buying a utility trailer. I don't know where I will keep it but I think I need one. I looked at home depot and the one that has high sides is $1600 which seems like alot of money. It also has a very high load capacity, far beyond what I would need. Any suggestions on where to get a utility trailer with sites for a better price?

Aha, I can rent a 5x9 trailer for $25/day.

Costco has very nice utility trailers for less than $1K

I have two made by these folks- a single and and a dual axle. The dually has been going strong since '88, including six trips on the West coast -replaced the deck once. The single 12 foot bed was about $900. Dealers all over the country.

Harbor Freight, but you probably can do better on Craigslist.

I bought one years ago from this company when they sold them at
Lowe's but I see they no longer make the Utility trailer I have.
