The late-summer sun is high. The corn, tomatoes, and peppers were picked this morning. The blueberries are ripe, and the eggs are waiting on ice in coolers. You’re at the farmer’s market in Maine – what could be better? Summer is one of our favorite times to shop local in ALCOM’s home state, Maine, where farmer’s markets and farm stands overflow with fresh produce, meat, berries, eggs and more during our short but vibrant growing season.
Visit the farmer’s market with ALCOM this season and discover how open and enclosed aluminum utility trailers can be the perfect addition to your homestead. Plus: don’t miss livestock trailers and truck toppers from Frontier!
Frontier Trailers: Choose a Frontier aluminum livestock trailer if you're running a farm that moves livestock and produce depending upon the day. Maybe you only have the budget for one trailer, but you need to move different things, because that's how farm life goes. Check out Frontier's line of livestock trailers. They're made from ALCOM's signature all-welded aluminum, but the features and options are designed with livestock in mind instead of electricians and snowmobilers. That said, your ALCOM dealer can help you customize a Frontier trailer with ramp, construction, and organization options. Explore the smaller Colt Series, full-size Strider Series, the versatile Livestock Series and popular Stock LowPro Series. Don't miss the Aluminum Truck Topper Series: an all-aluminum, ventilated and lighted enclosure that attaches to a pickup truck bed for transportation of smaller livestock, like rabbits or poultry.
Utility Trailers: With an open aluminum utility trailer on the farm, you're ready for almost anything -- except for moving livestock, but you already know what we recommend for that specialized task. To bring berries, beef, textiles, eggs, corn and more from the farm to the farmer's market, check out open aluminum utility and landscape trailers. ALCOM has open aluminum landscape trailers for tow vehicles of all sizes, including: the solid-sided SSR trailer starting at 5'x8'; the open Wood Deck Utility 2.0 model available in sizes from 12' to 20'; or the FA 2.0 Tandem Axle model with 5K payload and a variety of easy install/adjust rail and tie-down kits.
Cargo Trailers: For a versatile enclosed aluminum hauler that can move almost anything depending upon the construction options you choose, get our classic cargo trailer. Get a small one if you're using a compact SUV to move products back and forth; get a big one if you have the budget, the truck and the inventory. Add lights, floor coverings, wall studs and more to fit out the enclosed aluminum cargo trailer that will be your homestead's hauling hero for years to come. It's rust-resistant, it's available in any size you need with axle upgrades to increase payload, and it even comes in your favorite colors with screwless side panels that let you add custom decals to advertise your farm. Build out your cargo trailer with any organization and tie-down upgrades you need to move meat, produce, and more.
If you've ever explored the online content created by trailer DIY enthusiasts, you know there are almost as many buildout ideas and videos as there are trailers on the road. Check out this DIY box trailer to plant hauler in 3 minutes video showing the custom buildout one person created. Here is a full farmer's market trailer buildout from start to finish, including market day. Here's a repurposed utility trailer turned roadside farmstand.
Choose your customizations based on what you're hauling: will you need integrated wall studs to create custom, adjustable shelving or storage configurations? Do you need cabinets for materials, or space for coolers and a generator? Maybe you just need extra tie-downs to make sure everything is secure on the road. Your local ALCOM dealer can help you choose the exact options you need to customize your aluminum farm trailer.
When you start with a Frontier livestock trailer, your options are closely tailored to livestock related hauling. When you choose an open aluminum utility trailer, add decking upgrades, rail kits, tie-downs and more. With an enclosed aluminum cargo trailer, you can deck that trailer out with exterior and interior options galore. Whichever model you choose, you get our standard all-aluminum, all-welded, rust-resistant, lightweight construction.
