What typically fits in a 6x10 utility trailer

  • A small apartment's worth of furniture (bed, dresser, small couch, chairs, table)
  • A riding mower + push mower + trimmer + blower for a landscaping day
  • Roughly 20–25 bags of leaves, yard debris, or clippings
  • A moderate home-improvement material haul (drywall, lumber, tile)
  • Small business or event use — booths, coolers, tables, canopies

Tow-vehicle checklist

  • Verified tow rating in the owner's manual (loaded weight ≤ rating)
  • 2" ball on the hitch
  • 4-pin flat connector wired and tested
  • Safety chains attached in a crossed pattern
  • Working tail, brake, and turn signals on the trailer
  • Tires (yours and the trailer's) at proper pressure

Weight distribution and securing your load

Load heavy items forward of the axle (never behind), keep the center of gravity low, and strap everything before you leave the yard. Aim for roughly 10–15% of total load weight on the tongue — noticeably too little or too much causes sway.

Items that should not be hauled on the utility trailer

  • Hazardous materials — paint, oil, chemicals, propane
  • Wet or leaking loads without a liner
  • Items too tall to safely strap under overpass height
  • Vehicles (use the 20' car hauler instead)
  • Livestock

Pickup and return process

  • Reserve online — payment and authorization on file at booking
  • Arrive at the Opelika yard during your confirmed window
  • Trailer inspection with our team (existing damage documented)
  • Return the trailer clean, on time, at the same location
  • Authorization released after inspection
