Utility Trailer Prices by Type

Single-Axle Utility Trailer Prices

Single-axle steel remains the volume seller for one mower, an ATV, or a firewood run. The Rice SST7612 at 76" x 12' and 2,990 lb GVWR carries 1,715 lbs behind solid steel sides for $2,688, which makes it the cheapest new utility trailer currently in stock. The Load Trail SE7712 adds a 2' dovetail and a 3' spring-assist gate at 3,500 lb GVWR for $2,998.

Full 83" width begins at $3,488, where the Diamond C PSA135 runs 83" x 14' with 1,450 lbs of payload, a 48" bi-fold ramp gate and a spare included, while the Load Trail SE8314 matches that price with 1,651 lbs and an electric brake. The MAXX-D S3X8312 runs $3,998 with a 1' dovetail and a 4" channel wrap tongue, while the heavier 5,200 lb GVWR S3X8314 tops the steel single-axle class at $4,688.

Single-axle utility trailers start at $2,688, with steel models ranging up to $4,688 depending on width, GVWR, and gate options.

Tandem-Axle Utility Trailer Prices

Tandem axles start at $3,998, below the $4,688 the heaviest steel single axle commands, which is the reason crews hauling a compact tractor rarely stop below this class. At that price, the Load Trail UE8314 delivers 7,000 lb GVWR and 5,450 lbs of payload on two 3,500 lb braked axles, and the 16-foot UE8316 costs $4,288 while carrying 5,301 lbs.

Solid-sided builds sit slightly higher in the band. The Rice TST8216 runs $4,488 with 5,170 lbs of payload and steel sides that hold mulch, gravel, and demolition debris, and the MAXX-D U3X8314 lists at $4,988 with the same 5,450 lb capacity as the cheaper Load Trail. The heaviest steel option available is the MAXX-D U5X8320 at $7,988, rated 14,000 lbs with 10,650 lbs of payload across a 20-foot deck.

Tandem-axle utility trailers begin at $3,998 and climb to $7,988, with payloads ranging from 5,170 to 10,650 pounds.

Aluminum Utility Trailer Prices

Aluminum earns its premium on tongue weight and salt resistance rather than on capacity, which is why the price gap widens as the deck grows. The Aluma MC10S-R opens the class at $3,508 with a 1,495 lb payload and a 24" rock guard, and a full-size single axle costs $4,788 in the Aluma 7814ESA-S-TG. The tilt-bed 7814TILT-S runs $5,791 with 2,225 lbs of payload and a hydraulic dampener.

Aluma tandems start at $7,998 for the 7816ESA-TA-EL-BT and reach $8,482 for the 7814TA-EL-BT; both are rated at 7,000 lbs and cost roughly twice as much as a comparable steel tandem. 

The Aluma 1028H deckover sets the ceiling at $17,488 as a 100" x 28' unit rated 9,990 lbs with 7,940 lbs of payload, while Load Trail's aluminum-frame series undercuts every Aluma tandem, with the UA8314 at $5,798 and the UA8320 at $6,488.

Aluminum utility trailers range from $3,508 to $17,488, trading higher cost for lighter tongue weight and salt resistance.

Used Utility Trailer Prices

Used stock offers the lowest prices on the market, along with the shortest availability window. A 2012 single-axle 77" x 12' rated 3,500 lbs is currently the cheapest utility trailer available at $988, and a 2025 Load Trail 6' x 12' at 2,990 lb GVWR sits at $2,200 with only a year of use behind it. At the top of the used range, a 2020 Aluma 8.5' x 24' deckover rated 9,900 lbs lists at $9,998.

Used utility trailers start at $988 and reach $9,998, offering the lowest prices but the shortest availability window.

Buy Your Next Utility Trailer in St. Joseph from Poplar Bluff Trailer

The price of a utility trailer around St. Joseph tracks axle rating and frame material far more closely than deck length, which is the reason an entry-level tandem often costs less than a well-equipped single axle. Choosing a dealer rests on much the same footing, because only published pricing lets you compare two builds properly.

Poplar Bluff Trailer suits buyers working through that comparison, since every unit on our lot carries its price on the page it sits on, and we mark sold trailers as soon as they leave. That turns the shortlist into something you can build from home. Browse our live utility trailer inventory and hold the size your work calls for before it sells.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What size utility trailer do landscapers around St. Joseph typically use?

A 12- to 14-foot single-axle deck handles one zero-turn mower alongside a trimmer rack, which covers most residential routes without straining a half-ton tow vehicle. Crews running a mower plus a walk-behind and a debris load move up to a 16-foot tandem, because the second axle carries the combined weight rather than the additional length.

Can a utility trailer be delivered to St. Joseph rather than collected?

Yes. Poplar Bluff Trailer offers delivery for a fee to most areas in the Midwest, with Kansas City listed as the nearest advertised route to St. Joseph, and free in-store pickup for buyers who prefer to collect. Send your ZIP code and the stock number when requesting a quote, since the fee varies by destination and trailer size. 

What should I inspect on a used utility trailer before buying?

Confirm that the title is present and matches the seller's name, then have the frame, axles, and wiring checked before purchase. Cosmetic wear on deck boards and gates is inexpensive to address, whereas a frame problem or missing title can turn an attractive price into a costly one. 

Does a utility trailer come with a spare tire?

Some units include a spare, while others treat it as an add-on, so the answer varies by unit rather than by brand. Product listings state when one is fitted, which is worth confirming before comparing two trailers that appear identically equipped in every other respect.

Can Poplar Bluff Trailer order a utility trailer that is not currently on the lot?

Poplar Bluff Trailer custom-orders units directly from MAXX-D, Load Trail, and Big Tex every week, so the team can still source a size or configuration missing from the live listings. Appointments are available for one-on-one custom build quotes, which is the practical route when you need a specific deck width or gate setup.
