Homesteading has always been part of the American way of life, and it’s seen a renewed interest in the 2020s. Since the turn of the decade, homesteading groups have seen sharp increases in membership as folks across the USA turn to old-fashioned practices for food sustainability, for fun, and for a locally-focused life.

Modern homesteaders also have some major advantages over folks back in the olden days, including online resources to connect them across state lines and throughout the world. Connecting online helps farmers, livestock breeders, and homesteaders share best practices, tips and tricks for DIY success, growing information, successes and challenges, and more.

Modern homesteaders also have access to gas-powered tractors, running water, power tools, solar panels, pickup trucks, and of course: all-aluminum farm and homestead trailers from ALCOM. Learn more about our best picks for open and enclosed aluminum trailers for your North American homestead. 

Why Choose Aluminum Homestead Trailers?

Aluminum is a rust-resistant construction option that homesteaders can depend on for durable, lightweight performance. Without the risk of rust gnawing holes in your trailer, and with a lighter construction material than steel, aluminum trailers offer the lightweight, rugged option you need to get things done. Plus, with our North American dealer network, homesteaders in the continental USA and Canada can choose all-aluminum homestead helpers. 

Moving things around is a big part of farm and homestead life: bringing seeds, feed, animals or equipment home or moving them around a large property; hauling produce and eggs to the farmer’s market; and more. If you’re a homesteader, you probably have uses for a trailer we haven’t even considered yet -- so take a look at our lineup and get started choosing your ideal all-aluminum homestead trailer.

Aluminum Horse Trailers

The Colt Series, for smaller breeds, is available in Bumper Pull and Gooseneck models, with Lite versions of each available. Check out the Big Sky series, too, for an easy-to-own trailer for first-time buyers with two or three horses. Step up to the larger Strider Series or Ambassador Series for larger breeds of horses. Each series offers gooseneck and bumper pull trailer options.

Frontier Trailers lets you add options for a customized horse trailer for two to four. Learn more from real customers like barrel racing champ Breanna Brown and skijor champion Josie McAllister. 

Aluminum Livestock Trailers & Stock Boxes

Frontier Trailers builds livestock models as well as horse trailers. Aluminum livestock trailers are available for transporting animals like hogs, cows, or goats. There's a Livestock Lite BP option, a standard Livestock BP trailer, two gooseneck options, and a stock box. The stock box, known as our Frontier Livestock Truck Topper, fits into your pickup truck bed and allows you to transport smaller creatures, like rabbits, chickens, piglets, or goats. The Stock LowPro Series offers BP and gooseneck options and a lower profile. 

We've talked with real ALCOM customers like the award-winning Dadson family about how Frontier livestock trailers make traveling with animals easier. Check out the full lineup and talk with your local Frontier Trailers dealer to choose the best aluminum livestock trailer for your livestock. 

Open Aluminum Landscape & Utility Trailers

Open aluminum landscape trailers and utility trailers are a hard-working option available in a wide array of sizes and payloads. Start as small as a solid-sided 5'x8' SSR Utility trailer and work your way up from there. With our full line of open utility and landscape trailers, you get plenty of options, including pressure treated decking, heat treated, or classic extruded aluminum; bi-fold or straight ramps; side rail kits and tie-down options. 

Choose a 14K heavy-duty open utility trailer to move tractors, hay and heavier cargo with a full-size pickup. Explore beavertail deck options for smoother loading of low-clearance equipment. From lightweight single axle models to burly heavy-duty trailers, ALCOM's open aluminum landscape trailers are built for farmers and homesteaders. They're lighter than steel and resistant to rust, so they're ready for hard work and variable conditions. 

Aluminum Dump Trailers 

Opt for a compact homeowner model to tow behind a side-by-side, or a full-size commercial utility dump trailer that can haul hay rolls, tractors, and heavier-duty cargo behind a full-size pickup truck. All of our aluminum dump trailers are constructed with all-welded, all-aluminum frames, extruded aluminum decking for easy cleaning and rust resistance, easy tilt operation, and tie-down options.

The homeowner series is available in 4.5' or 5' wide with braked leaf spring axles. The 4.5' model has a 12" dump body height and removable front and rear panels which also act as ramps. The 5' model has 17" sides and a canvas tarp system with swinging rear doors instead of a removable panel. The commercial utility aluminum dump trailers are available in 6' and 7' wide and up to 16' long. Standard side height is 17" but you can upgrade to 24", 36", or 48" sides. Add expanded 24" mesh atop the 48" sides for extra containment! Your aluminum dump trailer 

Enclosed Aluminum Car Haulers

Car haulers are built for heavy-duty hauling for some of your most expensive cargo. You can also use our enclosed aluminum car haulers for moving a wide array of other cargo, too, including homestead supplies, smaller vehicles, building materials, furniture - you name it. 

Choose a standard bumper pull or gooseneck style enclosed aluminum car hauler in sizes starting at 8.5'x14' and going up from there. Get an entire interior options and upgrades menu available to customize your aluminum car hauler if you need lights, a power package, wall studs, interior insulation, extra doors and windows and tie-downs.
