HOW TO BUILD A UTILITY TRAILER

A utility trailer should be customized to your specifications. You will need to decide on the length, the weight capacity, and whether or not it will be enclosed.For example:If the utility trailer will be used for lumber or building materials, it may need a stronger trailer suspension and full-size wheels.For ease of loading and unloading—especially lumber—you would probably not want it enclosed. You would also want to make it long enough to hold lumber and sheeting.For machinery and valuable tools, you would not only want it sturdy, but also enclosed and secure to prevent theft.The vehicle that you will use to pull the utility trailer will also help determine the dimensions. For example, a utility trailer to haul groceries behind a bicycle will necessarily be much smaller than a utility trailer built to haul a table saw.
