Size for the fleet
Two zero-turns and handhelds fit comfortably on a 7x16. Add a third mower or a bulk debris load and a 7x20 becomes the right answer. Leave room to walk beside equipment.
Gate and ramp choices
A spring-assisted rear ramp gate is standard. A side gate speeds access to handhelds without unloading mowers, and a mesh gate contains debris while keeping weight manageable.
Racks and organization
Trimmer racks, blower carriers, fuel can holders, and a water cooler mount keep the deck clear and reduce equipment damage in transit. Lockable racks also cut theft losses.
Security and branding
Enclosed cages and hitch locks deter theft, which is a chronic problem for Texas crews. Clean vinyl graphics on trailer sides remain one of the most cost-effective advertising channels in the trade.
