With utility trailers, two limiting factors are the deck size and the carrying capacity, so it depends on what you are planning to haul. When calculating the weight of ATVs, motorcycles and other motorized vehicles, remember to include the weight of fuel (approx. 7 lbs./gallon) and all your gear.
In general, larger trailers are more versatile and come in handy when you have a lot of heavy equipment or gear to haul. Smaller trailers can be pulled by smaller tow vehicles, take up less storage space and are more fuel efficient.
Other important factors to keep in mind:
|
• where you plan to store the trailer |
|
• what type of ramps will you need to load your gear |
|
• how you will tie down or secure your gear |
Regular maintenance is the key to years of trouble-free operation.
Before each trip, you should always check the following:
|
• inspect all lights to insure they are functioning properly |
|
• check your tire pressure and visually inspect all tires for wear |
|
• inspect the coupler or actuator for damage |
|
• if your trailer has brakes, be sure to test them before you get out on the road. |
|
• check condition and tightness of bolts and fasteners. |
When your boat is off the trailer, be sure to do the following:
|
• Inspect the bunks or rollers to ensure they are in good condition and working properly. |
|
• Inspect the winch strap and safety chains to make sure they are in good condition and not showing signs of wear. |
After each trip:
|
• It is always a good idea to rinse your trailer thoroughly with fresh water. |
|
• This is also a good time to inspect the trailer frame for scratches in the paint finish that may need to be touched up. |
Finally, it is very important to inspect the wheel bearings at least once a year. For more information about trailer maintenance, refer to your ShoreLand'r Owner's Guide or request a FREE copy of our

ShoreLand'r trailers stack-up very favorably against the competition, especially with regard to quality of construction and warranty. It would be difficult to find a stronger frame on any trailer. Welded tubular steel provides more strength and less flex. This frame gives your load maximum support and protection.
