"Thanks to all of you for selling me the Cargo Max trailer. We live in Wisconsin. Older trailer had issues and we needed something to move our 4-wheeler, ice house and family out to go ice fishing. New trailer works great. Light weight, tows great on the ice and off. Back in Wisconsin now and can't wait to haul wood chips. Thanks again to Cargo Max and Grandville Trailer for great sales and service."

Aluminum Frame- Lightweight Utility Trailer
In the trailer world, when we hear "aluminum" our attention is grabbed. It's no secret that we love aluminum trailers. That's why we are such big fans of Aluma and Neo. Aluminum is a perfect base material for any trailer because it is both lightweight and strong. Being rust free and extremely resistant to climate changes, it's the best material for outdoor equipment in the Midwest. So when we first heard of this FLOE trailer and all of its aluminum-ness, of course we wanted to know more.
Fun Fact: Aluminum is only 1/3 the weight of steel!
Because Aluminum isn't very heavy, this lightweight utility trailer is super easy to tow and maneuver. Honestly, the smaller sizes can just be picked up by hand and rolled over to your vehicle or back to its storage spot. Knowing this, the designers of this small trailer built it with a swivel tongue jack, making it even easier to move around your driveway or parking lot by hand. Even better, the FLOE CargoMax can be pulled with a car or SUV.
And since not much of the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is spent on its own weight, it's left with a bigger Payload Capacity.
The XRT 8-57 can hold 6 times its own weight!
If you're looking for a heavy duty trailer to haul large equipment on a regular basis, this trailer isn't it. (Check out Diamond C or Sure-Trac for that.) This trailer is best suited for home projects, weekend ATV and hunting trips, and support for your small business.
"I stopped by Grandville Trailer to pick up a new FLOE utility trailer and my experience with the purchase was top notch. The staff treated me like I was their only priority at the time. They answered every question, offered ideas and suggestions about how to best use the trailer and what to do with my old trailer, and they even let me get an early entry into their Customer Appreciation drawings. I already LOVE my trailer and know it'll be well taken care of with Grandville Trailer!"

Polymer Bed- Durable Small Utility Trailer
One of the things that makes this trailer stand out; it's not JUST aluminum. This small utility trailer has a rugged polymer bed. The UV-resistant material is ideal because it does not rust, rot, or dent. Nor will it ever need a paint job. And have you seen it? It looks awesome!
There are some skeptics out there who don't believe this trailer is as tough as it claims, but time and time again, I've seen it prove its strength. In fact, the people at FLOE have even enjoyed dropping heavy things on these trailers just to see what will happen. Here is a fun playlist filled with boulders, sledge hammers and chainsaws.
There's also a video of a really cool customer testimonial. After a large storm dropped a tree on their CargoMax trailer, they thought it was done for. It appeared that the trailer was crushed and destroyed. But after removing the tree, the trailer popped back into shape and was completely fine! Turns out this polymer bed can withstand quite a bit.
"Normally I hate spending money, but the team at Grandville Trailer made it very painless during our trailer purchase. The staff is well versed in their product and is able to relate the utility and quality of the product to the prospective buyer. We found it hard not to purchase the FLOE trailer we were seeking after talking with the staff and their ability to answer all of our questions and concerns was outstanding! All in all we are extremely satisfied with our trailer purchase and would go back without hesitation."

Smart Design- Versatile Utility Trailer
The engineers of this trailer obviously knew what they were doing. You'll notice in the picture below that the 8-foot frame is grooved to help hold down your belongings. And here is something extra cool: there are collapsing tie-downs that connect directly to the aluminum frame! Is anyone else asking "why didn't I think of that?" Depending on the size of your CargoMax, these D-Rings are each rated for 500-1,667lbs!
This small utility trailer is also built with a full rubber torsion independent suspension. This allows a smoother, maintenance free ride that will perform better in windy conditions and bad roads (not that that's a problem in Michigan AT ALL.) It is really made to be easily pulled behind any vehicle and by (almost) anyone.
*Picture shown represents the smallest model: XRT-8-57. From there, they only get bigger and better.
The aluminum frame, polymer bed, and lighter weight make this a versatile and easy to use product. You'll find yourself reaching for it when you're doing yardwork, going to Home Depot, packing up the snowmobiles or quads, moving a friend, or wanting to take the neighborhood kids for a hayride. It's so easy to move around and you can always find a little corner to store it when you're not using it. This is the perfect small utility to have on hand!
If you're looking for a small utility trailer that will last for years to come, take a minute to look over the details of this trailer and consider the different sizes. We think you'll like it just as much as we do!
