Weight Capacity Explained

This trailer has a maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 2,990 lbs, which includes the trailer itself and everything loaded onto it.

Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight: 2,990 lbs

Empty Trailer Weight: 999 lbs

Maximum Cargo Payload: 1,991 lbs

Although the axle is rated for 3,500 lbs, the trailer's GVWR is only 2,990 lbs. The higher axle rating does not increase the trailer's allowable loaded weight.

The calculated payload assumes the stated empty weight includes all installed equipment. Added accessories reduce available cargo capacity.

Suitable for:

Riding lawn mowers and zero-turn mowers within weight and dimension limits

Push mowers, weed eaters, and landscaping tools

Small ATVs and four-wheelers

Dirt bikes and motorcycles

Furniture, mattresses, and household appliances

Lumber, plywood, and building materials

Bagged mulch, soil, and landscaping supplies

Small generators, pressure washers, and contractor equipment

Equipment exceeding the rear gate's rated loading capacity

Loose gravel, sand, dirt, or demolition debris without appropriate containment

Hazardous materials or improperly secured fuel containers

Loading & Safety Information

Load heavier items low and near the axle while maintaining proper tongue weight.

Secure cargo using properly rated ratchet straps and approved tie-down points.

Never exceed the trailer's 2,990 lb GVWR or 1,991 lb calculated cargo capacity.

Check the weight of riding mowers, ATVs, and equipment before loading.

Ensure equipment fits between the trailer's side rails and through the rear gate opening.

Never exceed the rear gate's weight rating when loading equipment.

Secure loose materials to prevent debris from escaping during transportation.

Check your vehicle's towing capacity before booking.
