Written by ALCOM Trailers | Sep 14, 2026, 3:15:00 PM

Autumn has arrived in ALCOM’s home state, Maine, and cooler weather is creeping across the USA as fall settles in. The kids are back in school, the leaves are changing colors, and pumpkins are appearing on porches. It’s almost time for the harvest season. Whether you’re looking forward to apple picking, pumpkin pie, trick-or-treating, or something else this season, there’s plenty to enjoy. In Maine, find Fall on the Farm Weekends, the Maine Harvest Festival, the Fryeburg Fair, and many more seasonal events happening in celebration of harvest time, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the last warm days before winter begins. 

If you’re getting ready for your own season of hayrides, harvest festivals, haunted fun and trick-or-treating, check out ALCOM’s open aluminum utility and dump trailers for light, rust-resistant hauling. For small businesses, homesteads and farms, apple orchards, seasonal vendors, booster clubs, community organizations, or homeowners on a mission -- ALCOM builds the aluminum trailers you need to make this harvest season better than ever. 

Hayrides & Harvest Fun w/Open Aluminum Trailers

Move hay bales, pumpkins, signs, fence posts and more with our all-aluminum open utility and landscape trailers. Set up the perfect harvest festival without breaking your volunteers' backs when you load up using a sturdy, slip-resistant ramp, towing a trailer so light your compact SUV can safely haul it. ALCOM builds compact, lightweight trailers for moving materials and gear and larger models for moving equipment and more. Our heavy-duty multi-purpose open trailers might even make a good DIY hay wagon, using a 14K trailer as a base and adding custom rails with its built-in perimeter stake pockets. Whichever trailer you choose, count on all-welded, all-aluminum construction built in the United States at one of ALCOM's manufacturing sites.

Frightfully Good Hauling w/Aluminum Cargo Trailers

Build out a spooky photo booth, smoothie shack, pop-up costume shop or haunted trick-or-treating display in an enclosed aluminum cargo trailer. Haul enough candy to supply the entire neighborhood in enclosed aluminum haulers from 4'x6' and up, with a menu of available upgrades so good it's almost scary! Our enclosed cargo trailers are built with all-welded aluminum construction and come in your favorite solid or two-tone color. Screwless, bonded side panels make the perfect blank canvas for a rolling billboard or a seasonal mural. 

If you're building a food truck or concession stand, get a concession door and power package, plus interior storage and organization upgrades like cabinets, wall track and hooks. For a mobile boutique, add LED lights, a power package, and a side access door with steps. Work with your local ALCOM dealer to review the size trailer you need and all the options you want to add when placing your order.

Why Choose Aluminum Trailers, Anyway?

In New England, where fall fun leads directly into winter's wild weather, an aluminum trailer is the best investment for folks who want to haul cargo without worrying about rust. Aluminum's natural rust resistance means you can cross rust spots off your list of trailer concerns and focus instead on your seasonal trailer inspection, tire maintenance, and keeping your tow vehicle gassed up.

Plus, aluminum is lighter than steel, so a trailer of the same size weighs less than a competitor's steel model. A lighter trailer can be towed by a wider array of tow vehicles, and our lightweight and compact trailer models allow folks without a full-size pickup truck to get an aluminum utility or cargo trailer that suits their needs and safely hitches onto their existing vehicle.
