Landscape/Utility Trailers For Sale in Thomasville & Winston-Salem, NC

Utility Trailers for Sale at NC Trailers

North Carolina Trailer Sales, known as NC Trailers, is a trailer dealer with stores in Thomasville and Winston-Salem, and this page lists the new and used utility trailers at both locations. Each one is an open-deck trailer you tow behind a truck or SUV to move lawn mowers, golf cars, ATVs, tools, and supplies. Big Tex Trailers, one of the brands the dealership carries, designs its 35SA single axle model for homeowners moving furniture or landscaping supplies and for small businesses in landscaping, construction, or handyman services. If you are making several trips in a pickup bed to finish one job, one of these models puts the mower, materials, and tools on a single load.

Single Axle or Tandem Axle

Axle configuration comes first, because it sets how much weight the model is rated to carry. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines a trailer's gross vehicle weight rating as the weight of the empty trailer plus its rated cargo load, so what you can haul is always less than the rating. Big Tex lists the 14-foot 35SA at 2,995 lbs with 1,922 lbs of cargo capacity, and the difference is the weight of the empty trailer. The 30SA, 35SA, and 35SV all share that 2,995-lb rating, while the tandem axle 70TV is rated at 7,000 lbs.

As a starting point, browse single axle utility trailers when your loads stay under about 2,000 lbs and tandem axle models when they run heavier. A higher rating only helps if your tow vehicle can handle it, so check your truck or SUV's towing capacity against the full loaded rating before you buy. The table below compares Big Tex models featured on the NC Trailers site, using the manufacturer's published specifications as of October 2026.

Sides, Gates, and Ramps

After weight, the features on the deck decide what you can load and how easily. NC Trailers offers options such as 24-inch mesh sides and side gates, and a side gate gives you a second loading point along the side of the deck. The Big Tex 35SV adds a pipe-top rail and higher sides to keep tools in place, along with an optional rear ramp gate for golf carts, ATVs, and side-by-sides.

Lighting and add-ons matter too. Big Tex equips the 35SV with L.E.D. D.O.T. stop, tail, turn, and clearance lights, and it lists toolboxes, side rails, and spare tire mounts as accessories you can add to the 35SA. If you prefer aluminum over steel, the dealership also carries Alcom Cargo Pro aluminum utility models.

When Another Type Fits Better

An open deck is not the right fit for every job. If your tools need protection from the weather, an enclosed trailer keeps them covered. If you mostly move gravel, mulch, or debris, a dump trailer is built to unload loose material. If your machinery weighs more than the 7,000-lb rating of the 70TV, compare the equipment trailers in the Thomasville and Winston-Salem lots before you decide.

Rent to Own With No Credit Check

NC Trailers offers rent to own on utility trailers through Hometowne Capital. The first payment is made at the dealership and covers the first month's rent plus a deposit, and later payments go directly to Hometowne Capital. If you cannot continue payments, you can return the trailer to the dealership, which ends the agreement. The rent-to-own landscape and utility trailers page lists the full requirements.

Questions About Buying a Utility Trailer

What size should I buy?

Size the deck to the widest and heaviest item you plan to carry. Measure that item's width against the deck, then compare its weight to the cargo capacity rather than the overall rating. Big Tex builds the 30SA at 60 inches wide in 8- and 10-foot lengths, while the 35SA and 35SV are 77 inches wide in 10-, 12-, and 14-foot lengths. Big Tex markets the wider 35SA for hauling side-by-sides.

What is the 60/40 rule for loading?

The 60/40 rule means placing about 60 percent of the load in front of the axles and the rest behind them. Safety guidelines from the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service put the figure at 60 to 65 percent, because the balance affects how the trailer follows and how well the tow vehicle steers. With a correct load, the rear of the tow vehicle squats down slightly. If the rear lifts, the load sits too far back.

How do I load cargo safely?

Keep the trailer hitched with the tow vehicle's brakes set and the wheels chocked while you load, especially for wheeled vehicles. For heavier wheeled loads, built-in ramps that support the rear of the deck are the better choice. Loads should not be able to move or fall in transit, so wedge or tie it down. For wheeled vehicles, run tie-downs from all four corners, with combined working load limits of at least half the vehicle's weight.

Which brands are available?

The dealership carries Big Tex utility trailers, including the 30SA, 35SA, 35SV, and 70TV, along with Alcom Cargo Pro aluminum models. The selection on each lot changes as units sell, so use the Make filter in the listings above to see what each store has. You can also call either store to ask about a Big Tex model that is not listed.

Can I buy without a credit check?

NC Trailers offers a rent-to-own program through Hometowne Capital that does not require a credit check to start. You rent for six months or more and purchase at the end of the term. To qualify, you need a valid U.S. driver's license and current proof of insurance on the tow vehicle. The program covers landscape and utility models along with several other trailer types the dealership sells.
