Frequently Asked Questions
about Trailers

What makes a landscape trailer different from a car trailer, or a cargo trailer? For many years the trailer industry sold standard, off the production line trailers for landscaper use, and many still do this today.

In 1996 Glenn and Wayne Ehrgott, owners of Performance Trailers Inc., Traileroutlet.com, recognized the need for a standard model trailer to better serve the landscape contractors needs. Glenn and Wayne had previously worked for over 20 years in the outdoor power equipment industry. They put together a list of options, and met with the owner of U.S. Cargo. The Performance Trailers Heavy Duty Landscape Package was born.

Today the Landscape Package Trailer includes the following features: Floors are framed on 12” centers instead of the two foot centers that used to be standard. With today’s heavy riding mowers, this has become more important to eliminate sag and premature failure of the trailer floor. All Landscape Package Trailers come with a triple tube extended tongue. With more landscapers upgrading their tow vehicles to Mason dumps and rack body trucks, standard tongues are too short, allowing the rear corners of wide trucks to hit the front of the trailers. A longer tongue prevents this from happening.

Wolmanized treated floors inhibit the growth of mold and mildew in the plywood floors, making them last longer.

A heavy-duty spring assist ramp has extra framing to hold up better under the weight of heavy riding mowers.

In hilly areas, bottoming out and rear end dragging occurs when going up a steep driveway. This problem is minimized by using 10 degree down axles lifting trailers an extra 2” off the ground.

The taillights used to be on the ramp doors. Machines would hit wires running to the ramp, and when the ramp was down, the lights would be hidden under the door, pointing at the ground. Today’s trailers have the light in the side doorframe, eliminating exposed wires and allowing motorists to see your four-way flashers when the trailer is parked with the ramp down.

The landscape package also includes such standard features as 2-12 volt interior lights, a switch at the side door and ramp door, a 3/4” plywood kickplate one foot up around the bottom of all the walls, 4 wheel electric brakes, a frame coated with Ziebart Z Tech rust protection, and the tongue and door frames coated with Ameriguard, an epoxy bedliner type material.
