Benefits of an Enclosed Trailer Over an Open Trailer
Security and Protection
Landscaping equipment is expensive — and easy to spot in an open trailer. An enclosed trailer helps deter theft with lockable doors and keeps everything out of sight while you’re on a jobsite or parked overnight. (Bonus: fewer straps, fewer “did we forget something?” moments).
Weatherproof Your Day
Rain, irrigation overspray, road grime, and sun fade add up. Enclosed walls and a roof keep gear cleaner and reduce wear on blowers, trimmers, and handheld tools — especially when you’re bouncing between jobs.
Temporary Storage Between Stops
Treat it like a rolling storage unit: stage materials for tomorrow, keep tools organized, and leave non-essentials in the trailer so your truck bed stays free.
Branding That Gets Noticed
Your enclosed trailer is a moving billboard — clean lines, big flat panels, and a pro look that helps you stand out when you pull into neighborhoods and commercial properties.
Steel vs Aluminum — Why Aluminum Wins for Landscaping Crews
Light Aluminum Material (Easier Towing + More Payload)
A lighter trailer can mean easier towing, less strain on your tow vehicle, and more usable payload for equipment and materials. ALCOM specifically highlights lighter construction plus less wear and tear on the tow vehicle as key advantages.
Rust Resistance (Built for Wet Grass, Washdowns, and Year-Round Use)
Steel trailers can rust if coatings chip or maintenance slips. Aluminum is naturally more corrosion resistant, helping it look better longer and cutting down on “constant touch-up” upkeep. ALCOM calls out long-lasting rust and corrosion resistance as a core aluminum benefit.
Low Maintenance (Less Sanding, Painting, and Fighting Corrosion)
Less corrosion management typically means fewer maintenance headaches over the trailer’s life — especially for landscapers dealing with wet equipment, fertilizers, and frequent cleaning.
Holds Value Better (Long-Term ROI)
Aluminum’s corrosion resistance and long service life often translate into stronger resale value — particularly for commercial buyers shopping used equipment.
Why ALCOM?
ALCOM’s enclosed aluminum cargo trailers are positioned as lightweight, rust/corrosion resistant, and highly configurable (doors, lighting, electrical packages, decking, tie-downs, and more).
Outfit It for Your Crew (Custom Options)
E-Track Tie-Down System (Flexible + Secure)
Add wall or floor E-Track so you can secure mowers, stand-ons, blowers, and racks exactly where you want them — then reconfigure as your business grows.
Gridiron Tool Storage (Cleaner Setup, Faster Stops)
Modular storage systems (like Gridiron racks) help you lock in trimmers, blowers, ladders, and handheld tools so they don’t shift — and so your crew can grab gear quickly without digging.
Doors, Lighting, and Work Packages
Want a side access door, upgraded lighting, or electrical packages for jobsite needs? ALCOM notes enclosed cargo haulers can be configured with cabinets, lighting, electrical packages, ladder racks/catwalks, fuel/side access doors, decking, and lots of tie-down options.
Built for Landscaping — Ready for More
Landscaping is the focus, but the same enclosed aluminum trailer can also serve:
- Pressure washing and property maintenance
- Pest control and pool service
- Mobile storage for jobsite tools
- Seasonal equipment hauling (ATVs, small tractors, etc.)
Are Aluminum Trailers More “Green” Than Steel?
The honest answer: It depends on the lifecycle — but aluminum can be a sustainability win in real-world landscaping use.
Here are defensible points you can include:
- Recycling aluminum saves major energy versus producing new aluminum from ore. The U.S. EIA notes recycled aluminum uses about 95% less energy than making aluminum from bauxite.
- The Aluminum Association similarly notes recycled aluminum can be made with ~5% of the energy needed for primary production, and aluminum is high value and recyclable in a circular economy.
- Lighter towing can reduce fuel use over time (especially for crews driving stop-and-go routes), and ALCOM emphasizes aluminum’s lighter construction and reduced wear on tow vehicles.
- Steel is also highly recyclable, and the steel industry highlights major resource/energy savings from recycling.
Because aluminum is lightweight, corrosion resistant, and highly recyclable, an aluminum enclosed trailer can reduce long-term waste and upkeep—especially for crews putting in heavy miles. Sustainability ultimately depends on how long you keep the trailer, how it’s maintained, and end-of-life recycling—but aluminum’s durability and recyclability make it a smart “build it once” option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size enclosed trailer do most landscapers choose?
Most crews choose a size that fits their largest mower plus room for handheld tools and fuel/chem storage — then add tie-downs and storage to keep it organized.
Can I add tool storage, racks, and tie-downs?
Yes — options like E-Track systems and modular storage racks can turn the trailer into a mobile shop.
Is aluminum really lower maintenance than steel?
Aluminum’s corrosion resistance helps reduce rust-related repairs and cosmetic degradation, which is a common maintenance issue with steel over time.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — California Trailers offers financing with an online application.
Can this trailer be used for more than landscaping?
Absolutely — many owners use enclosed aluminum trailers for contractor work, storage, and equipment hauling. ALCOM also positions enclosed aluminum cargo trailers as versatile with extensive configuration options.
