Home 5 News 5 All You Need To Know About Designing a Custom Trailer

At Silver Moon Trailers, we pride ourselves on offering a broad range of trailers both online and in our Arkansas dealership. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, however, there’s also another option: you can design a custom trailer that will suit your needs exactly.

In this article, we’ll let you know what you should know before designing your custom trailer: why some people choose to design a custom trailer, how the design process works, and more. By the end, you should be ready to get started on your journey to getting a trailer custom-designed for you.

Why Do Some People Prefer to Design a Custom Trailer?

There are a lot of trailers out there, and before choosing to design your own, we recommend looking at the options available to you to see if there’s something that fits your needs. However, there are a few reasons why you may want to get a trailer designed specifically for your needs.

Maybe you’re trying to haul something with unusual dimensions, maybe you’re looking for a multi-purpose trailer that needs to carry a vehicle some days and equipment other days. You may even have a certain look in mind that you can’t find among the current options in the market.

Regardless of your reasoning, Silver Moon Trailers can help you build the trailer of your dreams.

How Does the Custom Trailer Design Process Work?

The first step to designing your custom trailer is keeping all your needs in mind. Is there something in particular that you want to carry with your trailer (e.g. a vehicle, equipment, or something else entirely)? Or are there a variety of different things you want to carry, depending on the day?

From there, you’ll need to decide what type of trailer you want. The dimensions of what you want to carry -- as well as how vulnerable they are to the elements -- will determine whether it’s best to get an open trailer, an enclosed trailer, a horse trailer, or a dump trailer.

After that, we need to determine the most secure hitch for this trailer, as well as whether or not it needs a winch. Power-assisted landing gear may or may not be necessary, depending on what you’re hauling.

Make sure to think carefully about what you intend to haul because this will impact both the height and length necessary for your trailer.

You also have the option to add a living space to your trailer if necessary.

There’s also a section for additional notes, which will allow you to discuss any concerns or extra modifications you have that aren’t covered by our form.
