Load Trail Trailers - #1 Colorado Dealer

Load Trail is the deepest line on our lots. We carry ramp gate utility trailers, aluminum utility trailers, car and buggy haulers, equipment haulers, and dump trailers including pintle-hitch dumps, in single, tandem, and triple axle. Stock sits at both our Commerce City lot and the Truck Center in Fort Lupton.

Ratings run from small 3K GVWR utility trailers up through 12K equipment haulers, so the same brand covers a homeowner hauling a mower and a contractor moving a skid steer.

Once the trailer's gross weight reaches 3,000 pounds, yes. C.R.S. 42-4-223 requires brakes on all wheels at that point, so a 3K GVWR single-axle Load Trail is right at the line and every 7K and up model needs them.

That is the practical difference between the little 6.5x12 aluminum utility and the 7x14 tandem: one may tow behind a mid-size SUV with no controller, the other needs a brake controller wired into the truck.

Buy tandem if you will ever carry more than about 2,000 pounds of cargo, tow at highway speed on I-25 or I-70, or want the trailer to stay planted in Front Range crosswinds. Two axles also mean you can limp off the road on a blowout instead of stopping where you are.

Single axle wins on price, weight, storage footprint, and ease of hand-maneuvering in a tight driveway. For a mower, a dirt bike, and yard debris, it is plenty.

A pintle hitch uses a lunette ring dropped over a hook instead of a ball and coupler. It tolerates far more articulation and shock loading, which is why it shows up on job sites, farms, and municipal fleets where trailers get pulled over rough ground by whatever truck is free.

The trade-off is noise and slop on pavement. If your trailer lives on the highway, a ball coupler is the better ride.

Yes. Load Trail builds far more length, width, axle, deck, and gate combinations than any dealer can floor, so ordering to spec is routine rather than a fallback. Tell us the load, the tow vehicle, and how you load it, and we will spec the trailer around that.

Yes. We have a parts and service department, so brakes, bearings, lights, wiring, couplers, and jacks get handled here rather than sent somewhere else. Buying and servicing in the same place matters more than people expect when a trailer goes down mid-job.

Colorado's magnesium chloride road treatment is hard on wiring and brake hardware, so plan on an annual look at the harness, magnets, and bearings.
