“Al was beyond amazing to work with. He was very caring to know what we needed the trailer for and helped just by staying open to help working with me and my Husband. The trailer was also the most incredible one I’ve ever used. It pulls like a dream and felt so safe strong and very secure. I will be saving this trailer for future needs and also telling all my friends and loved ones who has the best one in town, to get the job done absolutely smooth: the tilt feature was also beyond life saving. -Thank you again Al Ashley & Zach”

Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake towing means canyon grades, winter traction rules, and long road trips south. Run through these before you send a rental request.
- Size and capacity: match deck length and payload to your biggest item, and leave room to strap it down safely.
- Weight and brakes: stay within the trailer's rated load and your vehicle's tow rating, keep tongue weight around 10 to 15 percent of the total, and make sure heavier loads have working trailer brakes.
- Hitch, chains, and wiring: confirm the ball size (usually 2 inches, or 2-5/16 for heavier trailers), your hitch class, and that the trailer's plug matches your vehicle. Utah requires a safety chain or cable in addition to the hitch, so cross the chains under the tongue.
- Canyon traction rules: UDOT can activate the Traction Law on I-80 Parleys, the Cottonwood canyons, and Logan Canyon up to 24 hours before a storm, and your tires need at least 5/32-inch tread.
- Mountain grades: on long descents like Parleys Canyon, drop to a lower gear and let the engine slow you down so your brakes stay cool.
- Ramps and loading: for anything you roll or drive on, check for a ramp gate or low deck height; for tall or awkward loads, check deck width and tie-down points.
- Open vs. enclosed: open trailers load fast and cost less; enclosed trailers keep snow, road salt, and canyon storms off skis, sleds, and gear.
- Get your questions answered: check the listing details first, and ask Toby, the towlos virtual assistant, anything else. After you submit a rental request, you can message the Host in towlos Chat to confirm dimensions, hitch, delivery, and anything specific to your load before they approve it.
Common Reasons to Rent a Trailer in Salt Lake City
From Lake Powell runs to canyon ski days, desert OHV trips, and national park road trips, these are the most common reasons Salt Lake renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.
- Boats and watercraft. Tow a boat, jet ski, or paddleboards with a boat or dual-purpose utility trailer. Utah Lake, Jordanelle, and Deer Creek are close, Bear Lake has a 7-lane ramp at Garden City, and every motorized boater needs Utah's annual mussel-aware boater course.
- Powersports and off-road. Get ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes to the dunes with a toy hauler or utility trailer. Little Sahara is about 115 miles south with 700-foot Sand Mountain, and Moab is a classic long-weekend run.
- Snow and winter sports. Get snowmobiles, skis, and winter gear up the canyons with an enclosed or utility trailer that keeps everything protected on the drive.
- National park road trips. Tow a travel trailer toward Zion, Bryce, Arches, and Capitol Reef, but check size limits first. Zion's tunnel highway caps trucks plus trailers at 50 feet, and Arches asks visitors to leave trailers in town.
- Moving and big hauls. Utah was the fifth-fastest-growing state in 2025, and the moves keep coming. Move an apartment, furniture, or a small office with an enclosed or utility trailer. The University of Utah moves in each mid-August.
- Livestock and equestrian. Haul horses and show animals with a horse or stock trailer. The Days of '47 Rodeo runs each July at the Utah State Fairpark, the Utah State Fair follows in September, and Ogden Pioneer Days adds a PRCA rodeo.
- Vehicles and motorsports. Move a car, motorcycle, or race car with an open or enclosed car hauler for track days at Utah Motorsports Campus in Grantsville or Speed Week on the Bonneville Salt Flats each August.
- Home and yard projects. Haul gravel, mulch, and renovation debris with a dump or utility trailer. The Salt Lake Valley Landfill charges a flat $17 for cars, pickups, and hand-unload trailers.
- Construction and heavy equipment. Move skid steers, mini excavators, and building materials with a flatbed, deckover, or gooseneck trailer built for heavy, oversized loads.
- Vending, events, and mobile business. Concession, display, and cargo trailers turn into food stands, pop-up shops, and mobile workspaces for festivals, markets, and job sites. Under Utah law, other counties must honor a food truck's county health permit.
