4 Other Uses For A Car Hauler Trailer, Besides Hauling Your Car

A car hauler trailer is a handy piece of equipment as there are so many different ways to use it. It is mostly used for transporting a vehicle somewhere when an extra driver is not available and it is simpler to haul it. A car hauler trailer can also be used in several other ways. Here are four different ways you can put your trailer to use.

Move Landscaping Equipment

Landscaping equipment makes completing specific jobs around your yard easier. A garden tiller, a lawn aerator, and a snow blower are all heavy-weighing tools you can borrow from a neighbor, friend, or family member with the use of a hauling trailer. 

With the trailer's handy ramp that folds down in the rear of the trailer, you can wheel or carry up any heavy piece of equipment onto the trailer. The trailer has metal bars that make it easy to attach tie-down straps for  securing the landscaping equipment during its ride to and from your home.

Landscaping companies often use car hauling trailers to transport all their tools and equipment to and from each job. Many times they will have an attached metal rack that holds their rakes, shovels, and other manual tools. Lawn mowers and even riding mowers can be secured to the trailer's bed along with edgers and weed eaters. 

Parade Float Frame

Several times a year cities and towns organize holiday parades that businesses and groups can take part in by decorating their own parade float. A car hauler trailer gives a float the sturdy body and foundation that you need to build your winning float entry for your town's annual parade.

You will need some extra materials to turn your trailer into a float, such as chicken wire, plywood, a staple gun, and nails. You can build up the base of the trailer's bed with plywood to make a stage where your float participants will stand during the parade. 

Chicken wire is a good way to mold and shape different structures on your float top to cover with fabric or other materials for a finished look. Your float's final touches can include tinsel, streamers, flowers, balloons, or metal arches.

Once your float is completed, you can hook it up to the back of a vehicle and pull it down the parade route.

Moving Furniture

Because a class I trailer can carry up to 2000 lbs in gross trailer weight and a 200 lbs tongue weight, it makes the perfect transport for moving day. 

Moving all your heavy furniture, appliances, and boxes on the back of a trailer gets everything to your new home just as an expensive moving van does. 

This class of trailer can also be pulled easily by most types of vehicles, including compact cars. So, you don't need a pickup truck to haul the trailer, just a hitch on the back of your vehicle.

Haul Outdoor Toys and Equipment

When summer comes and it is time to take all your camping toys and equipment to the mountains or the lake, a trailer makes this easy. A class I trailer will carry your four wheelers, dirt bikes, and razor ATVs. 

For winter activities your trailer will also carry a couple of snow mobiles, and an ice fishing tent, a tent heater, and fishing gear.

Car hauler trailers are so versatile and useful that you can use them in a variety of ways. These four ideas will help you get more use out of your trailer when it isn't hauling cars. Just make sure you securely strap down any items on your trailer. You never know when your trailer might hit a little bump, sending heavy, unsecured equipment flying into the air.
