What is the hitch height of my trailer?

When level with the ground, the hitch from the ground approximately:

  • Utility Trailer: 15”
  • Boat Trailer: 14”
  • Kit Trailer equipped with 8” Wheels: 13”
  • Kit Trailer equipped with 12” Wheels: 15”

 

How can I determine if my car can haul this – how do I find the payload or GVWR?

Determining the payload, GVWR, or empty weight of the trailer can be done using the following formulas:

  • Maximum Payload = GVWR - Trailer weight
  • GVWR = Maximum Payload + Trailer weight
  • Trailer weight = GVWR - Maximum Payload

To determine if your vehicle can haul a trailer, you will consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual and the information from above to determine if the trailer falls within your vehicle’s hauling capabilities.

Can the Landscape gate be used to drive-on?

Yes, the landacape gate can be used as a drive-on gate, it has been designed to handle
50% of the payload of the trailer. It can also fold-inside the bed of the trailer to accomodate longer loads.
