Used Utility Trailers in Des Moines

Used Utility Trailers — what to check

Used utility trailers are simple and cheap, so focus on the frame and axle: look for rust-through or amateur welds where the tongue meets the frame, check that the axle isn't bent (tow it and watch the tires track straight), and verify the wiring and lights work. Deck boards are cheap to replace; a bent frame or seized bearing is not. Confirm the coupler size matches your ball (1-7/8" vs 2").
