Thanks for the information about trailers for sale at Home Depot. I just went and bought one of their 6x8 trailers for $1085 plus tax. It was in great condition and heavy duty, It was made by Anderson Trailers. I never would have known you could by a trailer from Home Depot if I hadn't seen your video. Thanks!
I did the same thing excpet I got an aerator from home depot rental. Also it doesnt hurt to ask for less . My aerator was listed for 1250 and got it for $1000. Also another cool thing is they take gifts cards and credit cards. Hard to buy anything used without paying cash these days. Ive had it for 4 yrs now and done enough lawns to more than pay for itself. Never thought about the trailers untill I watched your video, will defantly check it out
@@deltabravo1257 Rabbits and squirrels will also do that. You can be out on a road with little to no traffic and they will make a run for it just as you pass. Can't figure out why they do that unless they are adrenaline junkies and do it for fun.
As it turned out, her dad and I went halves on a 7x14 14k Big Tex, so it all worked out. Added 30 watt solar and a Stegadon remote. Would like to get a Stillwell hydraulic jack/6 port valve setup, but they don’t seem to return calls or e-mail.
That's smart advice to check and repack the wheel bearings. I bought a similar trailer for my pressure washing biz, 1st thing to go out was the wheel bearings. I replaced them, they almost ruined the spindle.
These are nice trailers. These are just like the uhaul ones you can rent except those are aluminum and not steel. Hopping to get my hands on a Home Depot trailer
@@deltabravo1257 yeah but I’m from Wisconsin. Their pretty extinct here. Plus I’ve seen the small 4x6 or whatever one they had for sale and the store wanted more then 3k for that. Makes little to no sense.
I used to work for Home Depot rental. The trailers in Texas are made by Anderson mfg and there are some small differences depending on locality. I have seen customers absolutely destroy one of those heavy duty trailers.
Ohio Steel provides some of the open sided, wood floor 5x8 trailers here in WA, I've looked at dump trailer for sale and they get trashed pretty bad. Bent gate doors, mangled hinges, etc
@@tomtheplummer7322 I cleared 2 acres of large pines and planted blueberries. They struggled until I did a soil test and discovered the soil wasn't acidic. I amended the soil and they are thriving. I know the trees were over 40 years old.
I recently bought a Homedepot rental 6x8 utility trailer. These are Anderson trailers, they are heavy duty and well made, top of the line. Phenomenal purchase and at a price point lower then one of those 12" tire trailers. The trailer itself is fully functioning, yes it has wear on it but it is in fantastic shape. It came with a spare and many details not found on many trailers, like heavy duty hinged tie down shackles in all 4 corners.
Very nice & thought out video, thank you. I will be considering buying one as well in the future. Fortunately, It appears that Home Depot choose a good quality manufacturer in providing them with good, heavy duty utility trailer rentals That's good to know when deciding where to pick a good used one, & why not? You can pick the one you want with many years of life left on it & avoid paying much higher retail.
I had my 20 year old sure trac trailer repainted last year. It’s a 5 by 8 flat bed originally sold at Home Depot. I added sides. I took it apart, had it sand blasted and re-powder coated purple. All I need now is new tires. I did look at one of the Home Depot trailers in my area to buy. It sold rather quickly. You can buy those tailgate springs thru Sure Trac. They use those on some of their newer trailers.
Sounds like you have a nice trailer! Check out Goodyear Endurance tires. That's what I have on my other trailers. ruclips.net/video/7xfdNfMrV1E/видео.html
@@deltabravo1257 The Sure Trac trailer that has the spring loaded tail gate is just a few years old. It has a piece made for the pins on the tailgate to drop down into a slot. There is a spring on each side of the gate. It makes the tailgate a breeze to pick up. I take it off sometimes when I haul something long. Just pull a coupIe of hitch pins out and it lifts right off. I have also added wood sides by using 2 by 10’s. I also added about 15 tie downs inside and outside the trailer. It’s premium made trailer, but the extras made into make it worth the price. I do check Home Depot site for them selling off their trailers. Look at SureTrac.com site for a visual on how the ends are made. My newer one is a 5 by 10.
It's a little known secret. It requires some digging on Home Depot's website to discover the tools and equipment they surplus out of their rental inventory and sell.
@@deltabravo1257 Yeah, I was there to rent a jamb saw for 35 bucks and realized they had a used one for 75 bucks. It works great and I didn’t have to rush to cut all my jambs in one day.
You can buy used U-haul trailers also. Just checked the Home depot web site, local store has a 5 x8 for $438.00 plus lots of power tools for various prices.
I bought one just like it for $1,000.00 at Home Depot. I had contacted the home depot rental manager and asked them to call me when one came available. could not beat the price and it looked better than the one u are showing.
Nice trailer. Though you should apply some Anti-Seize to the threaded tail gate latches as well as any other commonly used threaded nuts. You didn't mention it, but the white caped piece-of-pipe on the right side of the trailer tongue A-frame is were you should store the trailer registration card to show ownership, cops will ask some times. It's also best to keep a copy of trailer registry with the primary tow vehicle as a back-up.
Wow !!!! I'm actually kind of shocked and impressed that a video about buying Home Depot Utility Trailer has almost a half million views in just over a year !!! Yeah, how I crossed paths with this video is this... I'm about to do a move from Chicago-land to Casper, Wyoming !!! and I was checking Uhaul basic trailers and the prices just floored me !!! about $300 for a one way trip !!! I would rather make 2-3 trips via minivan before I pay that much just to move some storage bins... so, thus, me looking for other possibilities..... yeah, I think they determine the price / cost from the zipcode.... I know storage units use that method of pricing.... yeah, makes me want to move to Wyoming even more !!! I'm done with all this nickel and diming to death.... rents are like $1300 per month plus utilities !!! annnd for parking !!!! yeah, I'm paying $50 a month just to park my vehicle... when it should be freakin FREE !!!! yep, I'm wayyyy over due for me to get the F out of here !!! Take care everyone !!!! Oscar
The views this video has gotten have been skyrocketing since early March. Prior to March 5th, there was only several thousand view. The prices U-Haul charges are insane for one-way trailer rentals. They charge my $188 after tax to rent a car hauler for a 300 mile trip.
Thsnks for the video. I enjoyed watching. that's cool you bought a HD trailer. And it seems a regular car can haul it too. I like the heavy dudu build quality.😀
Curious what part of the country you are located in? I've had dozens of people post comments that I should sell the "pine straw", but it's unheard of in the PNW to use it as landscape material.
@@deltabravo1257 I was about to post the same thing when I seen you dumping it. Here in north georgia alot of people use needles instead of mulch. Not me, I prefer mulch. But I bet you dumped $300 -400 dollars away, lol, I dont like it becasue it doesnt add any thing to the soil. Also if you get leaves in it you have to recover cause its hard to get out.
Are they still selling those? Can't find anything in NY/NJ/CT/PA states... Need to move to Canada soon and this trailer seems to be one of few that offer high walls.
Yes, they do still sell them. They keep them for 5 years before selling them to replace with a new one. I always check the manufacturer date on the VIN Tag on the trailers at my local stores to get an idea of when they will be up for sale.
DB, this is a really nice heavy duty trailer. It would be ideal for hauling about anything. It would be great for homesteaders wanting to haul small livestock (pigs, hogs, sheep, goats). For that very reason, I may consider one. Thanks for the informative video. 👍🏽🙂
Very expensive for a used (and abused) trailer. I would love to have one, but at that price you can get close to some new trailers with similar options.
@@deltabravo1257 I guess, but seems way over built for pine needles (or other normal homeowner projects). The one at the end of the video for sale had rust so it would need to be repowdercoated, and a Torsion suspension is a nice thing to have and you could add it to other trailers and still be close cost wise. I not saying it a bad deal, just that for a older used trailers I was expecting a $500 to $800 price tag and was shocked how high the trailer was you looked at for sale.
I'm having trouble with California DMV they want me to show them the the title and the store said with the bill of sale and the registration page was enough for change of ownership. Trying to contact corporate LEAN HOLDER DEPARTMENT that it shows on the registration. What did you have to do?
The store should have given you the title. The stores used to keep the titles on hand, but the trailer I bought a few weeks ago, that was not the case. The titles are now held by a Fleet Management company called ELEMENT. The store needs to call that company and get the title from them. The store is incorrect by telling you that the bill of sale and registration is sufficient for transfer of ownership - that is NEVER correct. You ALWAYS need the title too, which the seller signs saying they sold the item.
Thanks I also found that information by making several calls to their home office and the store. Now I may need to make several calls also to get the ball rolling. But at least I found a trailer and it's at my house needed lights stop., turn... bearing were loose just adjusted and packed them today. No lateral play now.
I had one of those and i didn't like the torsion axle. I now have a single leaf spring axle, and it can haul about double of what yours can. It actually rides better then the torsion axles do also. The biggest advantage to yours is the sheet metal floor. No other trailers come with that.
Thanks for sharing. Either style axle at a given load rating will carry the same load. If your trailer "carries double of what mine can" it must be a tandem axle trailer. Small trailer trailers such as this almost always have a 3500lb axle. Their weight rating (GVWR) is limited to 2990 so the trailer manufacturer can avoid putting trailer brakes on them.
I guess I did good on my 80 in x 10ft trailer I got from my work. It’s a heavy duty tandem axle 2 3500 pound axles I got for 115. It needed work but so far I got about 500 ish into it but still made out on what trailers go for. A lot of what I put into it was not needed, just upgrades. It was probably well over 2000 new. Not no cheap big box store trailer, it has a center support in the A frame too.
That ain't chit. I got a beautiful ex-rental trailer that was 6 months old and had been rented out only 3 times, looked brand new, tandem axle, all aluminum, and I paid 10 bucks for it.
Sadly, when I search for HD trailers, it sends me to Ritchie Brother’s auction site. The HD website has all their rental hand tools that are listed for sale.
Trailers show up occasionally, but keep in mind that each store only has 2-3 trailers and they keep them for 5 years from what I've seen. They only get sold off and replaced on a 5 year cycle. I check my area every few weeks. No trailers have been listed for sale since at the stores near me I bought mine in 2018. I don't expect their current fleet to be listed for sale until 2023.
Was thinking about a truck bed trailer til I saw u can buy these.... can't find Them available near me tho... the hunt continues. 💯😎 cool video too... keep on keepin on.
They get surplussed every 5 years. Check the stores near you and look at the their fleet of rentals and check the build date on the VIN tag on the front left corner, that will tell you how old the trailers are then you can get an idea of when they will come up for sale.
that one is safe design …. but be aware of other unsafe models by home depot i rented a 5x8 utility trailer to haul a riding mower itsthose ramps are super heavy and there was no stop poits to prevent ramps from falling backward into the trailer almost cut my hand grabbing the ramp it was the way the steel mesh welded on top with sharp side and secondly on pin to secure ramps had poor cotter pins that would drop out causing the steel pin to pops out and one ramp fell down scrapping along the road pavement im never renting it from home depot i liked tractor supply store rental trailer very safe desgin 5x8
Nice vid. It’s was more of a review vid than a how to buy vid. That’s the reason I came lol wanted to hear about the process of buying it. How much it cost and stuff like that
The website hasn't changed. Its the same now as it was 5+ years ago when I bought this trailer. At the top of the website, click on Truck & Tool RENTALS, then scroll down and find a link on the left that says USED TOOLS FOR SALE , it's the third link fro the bottom in the long list on the left side of the page or hit CTRL F on your keyboard to open the search box, and type in FOR SALE and hit enter and your computer will search the web page for that block of text. Click that link, then type in your zip code when the new page opens up
Thanks for sharing - I hadn't thought of Home Depot used equipment before - looks like they may be a good option for a trailer to tow behind our RV to carry our motorcycle. Thanks!
You bet! The nice thing about these trailers is the torsion axle - the ride so much smoother than a leaf spring axle, especially when loaded with lighter cargo. It won't beat your motorcycle to death. I own three torsion axle trailers, this one and two enclosed cargo trailers. I won't own a leaf spring trailer again.
$1250 isn't a bad price, even factoring in another $250-500 for bearings or maybe hubs and tires or wheels/tires and perhaps a few other smaller things. I bet they go pretty fast around me and are quite rusty from salt (New England). Used trailers hold their value very well here, I ended up buying both of mine new.
The trailer I have has a model number of 5x8U. It's shown here: besttrailerinc.com/utility-trailer/ All 3 Home Depot stores in my area still rent these. At least two of the stores have two in their rental fleet. 6x8 is a very odd trailer size. I've never seen a 6x8 trailer for sale on any trailer dealer's lot. Ever. The width is too wide in relation to the length. 6 wide trailers always start at 10' long.
@@deltabravo1257 I know it is weird, and I JUST learned today why! The trailer here on east coast MD/VA/NC etc are Anderson steel, whereas west coast are dominated by Best trailers co. I talked to one of the reps today. So, I am doomed because I cannot buy the one you have even I want it so bad. I am in MD, which state are you in if you don't mind to share. I am asking, so I can try check for any used ones. Thank you so much!
@@vepo2341 I’m in Washington state. What’s also weird is that either some of the surrounding states to Washington either don’t rent stuff at all, or never surplus out their old stuff. I say this because I NEVER see any used tools for sale for Idaho or Oregon stores. I’ve also seen that Ohio Steel makes trailers for Home Depot. 5 years later, I still have the one in the video. I use it weekly to haul a water tank for my house water because my well crapped out 2 years ago.
@@deltabravo1257 Damn that would be long drive for me to get the trailer, but honestly, I might do it since I cannot get the one you have here. Sorry about your well, what happen to it?
In the PNW, no one uses pine needles (pine straw as some commenters have called it) as garden / landscape mulch. I'd never heard of doing that until people started mentioning it in the comments on this video.
Follow the screen shots at 9:28 in the video, which shows you how to see if they have of in their "used tools for sale" inventory. Look under "Moving Supplies" category.
Thanks for your video! After watching it I took your advice and purchased a Best 5x8 from HD down in Salem and pulled it back home to Olympia. I would also like to replace my wheel bearings but don’t really have any information on what kind of bearings I have and where to find replacements. The Best website is a bit lacking as far as info goes. Can you point be in the right direction? Mine was built in 2017 and is identical to yours. Much appreciated! Chip Olympia, WA
Bearings and seals for 3500lb trailer axles are a common size. Trailer manufacturers generally don't list the bearings specs since they buy the axles pre-assembled. Bearings specs would be part of the axle manufacturers info. These are Dexter Axles. I've updated the description with all of the bearings and associated parts. You can also get the bearings from McGuire Bearings and Brown Bearings. The closest McGuire bearing is in Tacoma.
Should of sprung for the dumper model! I’m not a fan of torsion suspension anytime I see a trailer with wheels bowed out it’s a torsion bar, great score it is built heavy duty and overall beefy trailer for the price.
Home depot had a nice 5x8 dump trailer for sale about a year ago. I am kicking myself for not buying it. It wasn't beat up, smashed up or abused like the bigger dump trailers are.
I went in to rent a 1” pex crimper and they had one with the rental price I’d seen online and another one for a few dollars more. I asked the store employee why the difference in price. She said it is three years old and that’s the price I can buy it at. I guess a visit to the rental section might get a bargain on a lightly used tool.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy hand tools from the rental department again, but probably not a gas powered tool. I bought a used up Honda EU2000, I never could get it running correctly. A new carb probably would have fixed it, but I sold it before I was able to get the carb installed.
@@deltabravo1257 I’m set on those Honda’s . I’m about done buying tools. Just finishing my last build and retired from my day job. Well maybe not completely done, the remote cabin needs a deck and.....
No, they didn't take it off. It's still there. I check the tools for sale section at least once a week. It's still there as of two hours ago on 7/25/22
I only use a trailer a few times a year, so I couldn't justify the price the new trailers cost. Better price, and not all beat up like most used trailers are in the private party sales venues (Craigslist, etc.) made this one is a good value
I’ve owned my for 4 years and minus replacing the tires a couple mounts of go(they didn’t need it but we were going on a 3000 miles round trip so I wanted new ones) which were only 60 dollars each the tabs are 18 dollars a year and some grease a few times a year the ownership has been pretty minor. Best part is the trailer is always available no more driving into town to rent it. Or not being able to rent one cause they don’t have any in at the time you need it. Plus if you find something you want to buy and haul after store has closed your no longer out of luck. Lot more pros than cons
What is that small vertical piece of pipe (4") welded and sticking up in the passenger side and forward of the wheel (threaded at the top)? Put there for a reason that escapes me.
The trailer is built somewhat similar to the older UHaul trailers ,I wouldn’t be too surprised if they were either designed or built by the same people I will say Torsion axles are better than leaf spring for a smoother ride but it’s not really relevant for cargo and utility trailers because of their type of contents that are hauled with them sure hauling small trailers with leaf springs without a load will get noisy and airborne at times but that doesn’t really matter much I’ve had many small boat trailers that made lots of noise empty but it didn’t hurt anything , besides I pull them in my 3500 Dually Diesel pick up that is bouncy and noisy on its own a lot of times the trailers spitting grease out of the hubs is because they were overgreased very common if trailers have Bearing Buddies when that grease gets hot it expands and i’ve seen that blow the Bearing caps or Buddies clean off the trailer on highways because it is spinning so many RPMs higher than the tire it will hit the pavement and shoot in front of the tow vehicle
You've got that backwards. The tread on the tire is experiencing a LOT more speed than the bearings because the bearings are close to the point of rotation, where the tire tread is far out there and moving much faster for every turn of the wheel.
Inside dimensions of this trailer are 58" x 98" Price will vary depending on the location of the Home Depot and the brand trailers they have. I've seen prices range from $1250-$1500
No, they don't. Also, a dual axle trailer is overkill for a SxS. That much weight capacity isn't needed for a SxS. All you need is a single axle (3500lb axle) trailer.
it is built pretty well what do they sell them for ? yes i agree Torsion Axles are better but on the other hand of smoothness in the ride i concluded on my last Enclosed trailer with a Torsion axle is the smoothness of the ride wasn’t that important because i didn’t ride in it so what’s the big deal so it really isn’t worth the extra cost i paid $1250 is a great deal on those trailers compared to most of the other ones around
I've always wanted to buy a similar one from the U Haul fleet. They have some extra features for hauling motorcycles in theirs, like a bump-out in the front wall for the front wheel. And a corrugated floor that helps keep the bike form sliding from side to side. But they claim they never sell them, just scrap them when they're too old. They say they're worried that the next owner might come back at them with liability issues. I've also heard that's why you can't buy used UPS trucks as well. They'd rather scrap them than than take the risk of selling them.
The LIABILITY ISSUE is total BULLSHIT ! The corporate lawyers SHOULD be able to find a way past it. Once it's sold out of the fleet , it's NOT THEIR PROBLEM.
WA State law says "15 days". After 15 days, the state will start charging you a late fee at the point in time when you finally transfer the title, which I think maxes out at $125. This particular Home Depot made me transfer the title before letting me take possession of the trailer.
The store by me had one for sale, sold it, the lady had title issues, returned it. They could not get a new title for around 9 months, each month the price dropped. It got all the way down to $200 dollars. Ended up selling it for $600.
@@deltabravo1257 something happened between the cust and the Ca. DMV and she couldn't transfer the out of state title. I dont remember the specifics, but she got her money back.
does that center rail from the hitch ( that looks like channel facing downward ) does it go all the way to the back of the trailer ? or where does it stop at if not ?
@@deltabravo1257 wow .. i thought i would got the the back of the fender or all the way back,,, it would give it a long support if its loaded rear heavy,,, i've see trailers fold at the axle from that ,,,but i do notice they really did use heavier channel on most of the trailer
YES! I ALWAYS ask for a better price, and they always drop it. Their computer system (in the tool rental department) will actually have a "bottom line" price shown.
On the Home Depot website it does not look anything like the one that you have up it doesn’t show that information you might wanna go onto a website today and take a look. Thanks
Where are you looking on the website? When I check here (in their rental fleet) I see one exactly like the one I bought: www.homedepot.com/c/moving_supplies_equipment_rental#trailers
Actually 11:55 shows the info you need to know. GVWR is 2999, the for-sale trailer says max cargo weight 1999, so I'd say it weighs 1000 or thereabouts. Home Depot sticker on his says max cargo 1750, which is probably just de-rated for safety because the average trailer renter is not a great weight estimator. Then again, the axle is 3500lbs and the trailer's plenty stout to handle that, this size trailer are all just rated to be under 3k because many states require brakes on trailers at 3k gvwr. For comparison's sake, my Aluminum 2990-rated trailer weights 390lbs empty, or 525 with 32" wood sides and a spare.
Went to my local HD and they wouldn't sell it to be because they didn't have the title. I guess they are trying to get it. Did you have any issues getting the title? Great Vid BTW
I didn’t have any issues with the title. Fortunately, my local store had the title in their possession. I’ve heard that often times they don’t have the title and need to get it from Compact Power, which is the name of the company that owns and manages the trailers.
The only come up for sale every 5 years. Check the VIN tag on the trailers at your local store next time you are there. The VIN tag shows the build date. They will come up for sale about 5 years after they were built.
Thanks for the information about trailers for sale at Home Depot. I just went and bought one of their 6x8 trailers for $1085 plus tax.

Thanks for the roundabout on the HD trailer. Lots of good ideas for diy builds. I like the securing mechanism for the tailgate. Simple and durable.
You bet. The heavy duty top rails open up a lot of possibilities for adding a rack to hold things such as a roof top tent, Kayaks, etc.
I hope you keep some of the pine straw for gardening. It makes a good weed block.
Careful where you use pine straw for mulch. It’s very acidic. Don’t keep it next to structures, it’s very flammable.
That's why I always haul it away.

You can pick the one you want with many years of life left on it & avoid paying much higher retail.
Glad it was helpful! What I'm seeing is that they use the trailers for 5 years and then surplus them.

@@deltabravo1257
Yeah, I was there to rent a jamb saw for 35 bucks and realized they had a used one for 75 bucks. It works great and I didn’t have to rush to cut all my jambs in one day.
@@deltabravo1257 I'm looking on HD's website and can't find used trailer sales. Can you direct me to where to look on the site?
You can buy used U-haul trailers also. Just checked the Home depot web site, local store has a 5 x8 for $438.00 plus lots of power tools for various prices.
@@terrydouglas5008 I checked HD's site again today, I can't find used tools or trailers. Can you direct where to click please?
I bought one just like it for $1,000.00 at Home Depot. I had contacted the home depot rental manager and asked them to call me when one came available. could not beat the price and it looked better than the one u are showing.
That's a good deal. I've never seen them for less than the one for $1250 I show at the end of the video.
Thanks for the info! I was not aware of how HD liquidates their old rental equipment, so this was helpful.
Nice trailer. Though you should apply some Anti-Seize to the threaded tail gate latches as well as any other commonly used threaded nuts. You didn't mention it, but the white caped piece-of-pipe on the right side of the trailer tongue A-frame is were you should store the trailer registration card to show ownership, cops will ask some times. It's also best to keep a copy of trailer registry with the primary tow vehicle as a back-up.
Thanks for the tips!
Wow !!!! I'm actually kind of shocked and impressed that a video about buying Home Depot Utility Trailer has almost a half million views in just over a year !!! Yeah, how I crossed paths with this video is this... I'm about to do a move from Chicago-land to Casper, Wyoming !!! and I was checking Uhaul basic trailers and the prices just floored me !!! about $300 for a one way trip !!! I would rather make 2-3 trips via minivan before I pay that much just to move some storage bins... so, thus, me looking for other possibilities..... yeah, I think they determine the price / cost from the zipcode.... I know storage units use that method of pricing.... yeah, makes me want to move to Wyoming even more !!! I'm done with all this nickel and diming to death.... rents are like $1300 per month plus utilities !!! annnd for parking !!!! yeah, I'm paying $50 a month just to park my vehicle... when it should be freakin FREE !!!! yep, I'm wayyyy over due for me to get the F out of here !!! Take care everyone !!!! Oscar
The views this video has gotten have been skyrocketing since early March. Prior to March 5th, there was only several thousand view. The prices U-Haul charges are insane for one-way trailer rentals. They charge my $188 after tax to rent a car hauler for a 300 mile trip.
Thsnks for the video. I enjoyed watching. that's cool you bought a HD trailer. And it seems a regular car can haul it too. I like the heavy dudu build quality.😀
Where I live, pine straw mulch sells for $5 a small square bale.
Curious what part of the country you are located in? I've had dozens of people post comments that I should sell the "pine straw", but it's unheard of in the PNW to use it as landscape material.
@@deltabravo1257 I was about to post the same thing when I seen you dumping it. Here in north georgia alot of people use needles instead of mulch. Not me, I prefer mulch. But I bet you dumped $300 -400 dollars away, lol, I dont like it becasue it doesnt add any thing to the soil. Also if you get leaves in it you have to recover cause its hard to get out.
Been looking for a light use trailer. Thanks for the suggestion to check Home Depot tools for sale. On the site now
Glad I could help.
Mm Mr m
Don't buy one from homedepo you have no idea how over loaded they get
@@josebarrera8720 😭😭 I just hauled 5 yards of mulch in their 5x8, sucker squatted & scraped like lowrider but she gotter done
@@OutdoorWalker hahaha
Are they still selling those? Can't find anything in NY/NJ/CT/PA states... Need to move to Canada soon and this trailer seems to be one of few that offer high walls.
Yes, they do still sell them. They keep them for 5 years before selling them to replace with a new one. I always check the manufacturer date on the VIN Tag on the trailers at my local stores to get an idea of when they will be up for sale.
im in the same boat, how did you make out? any luck?
I bought another one about 3 weeks ago.
I thought that was spokane home depot. And the waste tranfer station looked familiar too. Then i noticed spokane on the home depot site.
Yep. :-)
Also worth noting the N. Spokane store has one fore sale again right now. It got listed for sale on 10/31/22
DB, this is a really nice heavy duty trailer. It would be ideal for hauling about anything. It would be great for homesteaders wanting to haul small livestock (pigs, hogs, sheep, goats). For that very reason, I may consider one. Thanks for the informative video. 👍🏽🙂
We agree!
Very expensive for a used (and abused) trailer.
I would love to have one, but at that price you can get close to some new trailers with similar options.
Except they don't have a powder coat finish, not built as well and don't have a torsion axle. The one I bought is in very good condition.
@@deltabravo1257 I guess, but seems way over built for pine needles (or other normal homeowner projects). The one at the end of the video for sale had rust so it would need to be repowdercoated, and a Torsion suspension is a nice thing to have and you could add it to other trailers and still be close cost wise.
I not saying it a bad deal, just that for a older used trailers I was expecting a $500 to $800 price tag and was shocked how high the trailer was you looked at for sale.
At 10:30 you can see a piece of pipe on the trailer just in front of the right fender.. Any idea what that's for???
Registration holder. I finally made another video and mention that annoying pipe.
ruclips.net/video/oJMpfO18fcs/видео.html
What is the small pipe for in front of the right side fender on the brace at 6:15? Anyone know?
My best guess is that the storage for the registration.
Storage for vehicle registration is my guess as well.
I'm having trouble with California DMV they want me to show them the the title and the store said with the bill of sale and the registration page was enough for change of ownership. Trying to contact corporate LEAN HOLDER DEPARTMENT that it shows on the registration. What did you have to do?
The store should have given you the title. The stores used to keep the titles on hand, but the trailer I bought a few weeks ago, that was not the case. The titles are now held by a Fleet Management company called ELEMENT. The store needs to call that company and get the title from them.
The store is incorrect by telling you that the bill of sale and registration is sufficient for transfer of ownership - that is NEVER correct. You ALWAYS need the title too, which the seller signs saying they sold the item.
Thanks I also found that information by making several calls to their home office and the store. Now I may need to make several calls also to get the ball rolling. But at least I found a trailer and it's at my house needed lights stop., turn... bearing were loose just adjusted and packed them today. No lateral play now.
I had one of those and i didn't like the torsion axle. I now have a single leaf spring axle, and it can haul about double of what yours can. It actually rides better then the torsion axles do also. The biggest advantage to yours is the sheet metal floor. No other trailers come with that.
Thanks for sharing. Either style axle at a given load rating will carry the same load. If your trailer "carries double of what mine can" it must be a tandem axle trailer.
Small trailer trailers such as this almost always have a 3500lb axle. Their weight rating (GVWR) is limited to 2990 so the trailer manufacturer can avoid putting trailer brakes on them.
@Dr Pepper Kev I have a trailer that weighs in at 11,000 empty, 21,000 loaded and rides on torsion axles. It rides beautifully.
Looks like you go to the same dump as me in North Spokane and also looks like the Home Depot in North Spokane
Yep, Small world!
As soon as I seen the scales I knew where you were at. That good or bad?
I guess I did good on my 80 in x 10ft trailer I got from my work. It’s a heavy duty tandem axle 2 3500 pound axles I got for 115. It needed work but so far I got about 500 ish into it but still made out on what trailers go for. A lot of what I put into it was not needed, just upgrades. It was probably well over 2000 new. Not no cheap big box store trailer, it has a center support in the A frame too.
Sounds like a nice trailer
@@deltabravo1257 Thank you. It is, If it went to auction it probably would of went for a lot more. Since I wanted it I got hooked up with the price.
That ain't chit. I got a beautiful ex-rental trailer that was 6 months old and had been rented out only 3 times, looked brand new, tandem axle, all aluminum, and I paid 10 bucks for it.
Sadly, when I search for HD trailers, it sends me to Ritchie Brother’s auction site. The HD website has all their rental hand tools that are listed for sale.
Trailers show up occasionally, but keep in mind that each store only has 2-3 trailers and they keep them for 5 years from what I've seen. They only get sold off and replaced on a 5 year cycle.
I check my area every few weeks. No trailers have been listed for sale since at the stores near me I bought mine in 2018. I don't expect their current fleet to be listed for sale until 2023.
@@deltabravo1257 good to know. Our local HD is a small one, so I don’t know that they have everything the bigger ones do, but I’ll keep watch. Thanks.
What is the little pipe on the outer frame rail just forward of the right side tire. Yours has a plastic cap on it.
It's to hold the license / registration paperwork from the DMV.
Was thinking about a truck bed trailer til I saw u can buy these.... can't find
Them available near me tho... the hunt continues. 💯😎 cool video too... keep on keepin on.
They get surplussed every 5 years. Check the stores near you and look at the their fleet of rentals and check the build date on the VIN tag on the front left corner, that will tell you how old the trailers are then you can get an idea of when they will come up for sale.
@@deltabravo1257 thank you Very much i will definitely look at the stores near me.
My family had a trailer similar to the flatbed you briefly mentioned. I think I'd prefer what you've got.
I tried one of the flat bed trailers and sold it not long after I bought it. I prefer something with sides on it.
that one is safe design …. but be aware of other unsafe models by home depot i rented a 5x8 utility trailer to haul a riding mower itsthose ramps are super heavy and there was no stop poits to prevent ramps from falling backward into the trailer almost cut my hand grabbing the ramp it was the way the steel mesh welded on top with sharp side and secondly on pin to secure ramps had poor cotter pins that would drop out causing the steel pin to pops out and one ramp fell down scrapping along the road pavement im never renting it from home depot i liked tractor supply store rental trailer very safe desgin 5x8
Cool,I love tss
Nice vid. It’s was more of a review vid than a how to buy vid. That’s the reason I came lol wanted to hear about the process of buying it. How much it cost and stuff like that
Info on how to buy is towards the end of the video.
I can't find the trailers on the website because the websites probably been changed and updates many times now.
The website hasn't changed. Its the same now as it was 5+ years ago when I bought this trailer.
At the top of the website, click on Truck & Tool RENTALS, then scroll down and find a link on the left that says USED TOOLS FOR SALE , it's the third link fro the bottom in the long list on the left side of the page or hit CTRL F on your keyboard to open the search box, and type in FOR SALE and hit enter and your computer will search the web page for that block of text. Click that link, then type in your zip code when the new page opens up
@@deltabravo1257 Okay well I tried navigating to it and couldn't but I'll try it again.
Thanks for sharing - I hadn't thought of Home Depot used equipment before - looks like they may be a good option for a trailer to tow behind our RV to carry our motorcycle. Thanks!
You bet! The nice thing about these trailers is the torsion axle - the ride so much smoother than a leaf spring axle, especially when loaded with lighter cargo. It won't beat your motorcycle to death.
I own three torsion axle trailers, this one and two enclosed cargo trailers. I won't own a leaf spring trailer again.
Is that pipe with the white cap on the right side of the tongue A-frame where the blinker fluid goes?
I think so. LOL.
Actually it's for the trailer registration paperwork.
$1250 isn't a bad price, even factoring in another $250-500 for bearings or maybe hubs and tires or wheels/tires and perhaps a few other smaller things. I bet they go pretty fast around me and are quite rusty from salt (New England). Used trailers hold their value very well here, I ended up buying both of mine new.
A few minor maintenance items and they are a decent trailer.
Hi there! What is the model for this trailer? I think HD does not carry this 5x8 trailers anymore, instead they have 6x8 :-/ Thank you!
The trailer I have has a model number of 5x8U. It's shown here: besttrailerinc.com/utility-trailer/
All 3 Home Depot stores in my area still rent these. At least two of the stores have two in their rental fleet.
6x8 is a very odd trailer size. I've never seen a 6x8 trailer for sale on any trailer dealer's lot. Ever.
The width is too wide in relation to the length. 6 wide trailers always start at 10' long.
@@deltabravo1257 I know it is weird, and I JUST learned today why!
The trailer here on east coast MD/VA/NC etc are Anderson steel, whereas west coast are dominated by Best trailers co.
I talked to one of the reps today. So, I am doomed because I cannot buy the one you have even I want it so bad. I am in MD, which state are you in if you don't mind to share. I am asking, so I can try check for any used ones. Thank you so much!
@@vepo2341 I’m in Washington state.
What’s also weird is that either some of the surrounding states to Washington either don’t rent stuff at all, or never surplus out their old stuff. I say this because I NEVER see any used tools for sale for Idaho or Oregon stores.
I’ve also seen that Ohio Steel makes trailers for Home Depot.
5 years later, I still have the one in the video. I use it weekly to haul a water tank for my house water because my well crapped out 2 years ago.
@@deltabravo1257 Damn that would be long drive for me to get the trailer, but honestly, I might do it since I cannot get the one you have here. Sorry about your well, what happen to it?
You should use that for your garden as cover up around the plant so it act as like mulch kept the soil moist
In the PNW, no one uses pine needles (pine straw as some commenters have called it) as garden / landscape mulch. I'd never heard of doing that until people started mentioning it in the comments on this video.
Im trying to buy one how do i check if homedepot removed it from there system?
Follow the screen shots at 9:28 in the video, which shows you how to see if they have of in their "used tools for sale" inventory. Look under "Moving Supplies" category.
I need one of these for my utv
This size would work for an ATV, but they are too short and too narrow for a UTV.
Just bought a trailer like this today about 1400 ... cant beat the price got it to haul stuff to the dump also haul a motorcycle around
AWESOME! I use mine for dump runs (yard waste) and motorcycles too.
Thanks for your video! After watching it I took your advice and purchased a Best 5x8 from HD down in Salem and pulled it back home to Olympia. I would also like to replace my wheel bearings but don’t really have any information on what kind of bearings I have and where to find replacements. The Best website is a bit lacking as far as info goes. Can you point be in the right direction? Mine was built in 2017 and is identical to yours.
Much appreciated!

Bearings and seals for 3500lb trailer axles are a common size. Trailer manufacturers generally don't list the bearings specs since they buy the axles pre-assembled. Bearings specs would be part of the axle manufacturers info. These are Dexter Axles. I've updated the description with all of the bearings and associated parts.
You can also get the bearings from McGuire Bearings and Brown Bearings. The closest McGuire bearing is in Tacoma.
Thank you!
Thanks for distributing this video with a lot of good information I wouldn't think about it, thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I've been using this trailer weekly since early December. I put new tires on it once I started using it non-stop.
Should of sprung for the dumper model!
I’m not a fan of torsion suspension anytime I see a trailer with wheels bowed out it’s a torsion bar, great score it is built heavy duty and overall beefy trailer for the price.
Home depot had a nice 5x8 dump trailer for sale about a year ago. I am kicking myself for not buying it. It wasn't beat up, smashed up or abused like the bigger dump trailers are.
What a well built little unit.
Yes, it is a well built little trailer.
good looking trailer. You need to post that pine straw on craigs list. Currently getting $5 per bale.
No one would buy it where I live - every one hauls it away because it's a nuisance to deal with.
I went in to rent a 1” pex crimper and they had one with the rental price I’d seen online and another one for a few dollars more. I asked the store employee why the difference in price. She said it is three years old and that’s the price I can buy it at. I guess a visit to the rental section might get a bargain on a lightly used tool.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy hand tools from the rental department again, but probably not a gas powered tool. I bought a used up Honda EU2000, I never could get it running correctly. A new carb probably would have fixed it, but I sold it before I was able to get the carb installed.
@@deltabravo1257 I’m set on those Honda’s . I’m about done buying tools. Just finishing my last build and retired from my day job. Well maybe not completely done, the remote cabin needs a deck and.....
Yep right compounds can make that look brand spanking new!
I have no idea what that means.
@@deltabravo1257 he means rubbing compound like buffing it out with compound lol
Nothing listed on their site locally or in the search
:-(
@@deltabravo1257 where did you get yours?
Home Depot in Eastern WA.
What size is the trailer ? Looking for one to two my can am spyder
5x8
Did they take this feature off the website? Can’t seem to find it anymore
No, they didn't take it off. It's still there. I check the tools for sale section at least once a week. It's still there as of two hours ago on 7/25/22
I’ll double check again. I see the used tools section, but the trailers are no where to be found for me. Maybe it’s just my area?
Trailers are always listed under the MOVING SUPPLIES category. If you don't see any trailers, then that means none are for sale.
After having a tire come apart on my brother-in-law's trailer, with no spare and halfway to the landfill, I make sure to have a spare.
I really need to get a spare for this trailer, or maybe just borrow the one from my other trailer.
I could use one of those a couple of times a year!
I only use a trailer a few times a year, so I couldn't justify the price the new trailers cost. Better price, and not all beat up like most used trailers are in the private party sales venues (Craigslist, etc.) made this one is a good value
So rent it🤷♂️. Why bother owning it. License, storage and maintenance doesn’t end after purchase.
I’ve owned my for 4 years and minus replacing the tires a couple mounts of go(they didn’t need it but we were going on a 3000 miles round trip so I wanted new ones) which were only 60 dollars each the tabs are 18 dollars a year and some grease a few times a year the ownership has been pretty minor.
Best part is the trailer is always available no more driving into town to rent it. Or not being able to rent one cause they don’t have any in at the time you need it. Plus if you find something you want to buy and haul after store has closed your no longer out of luck.
Lot more pros than cons
It looks like that website only offers rental not to buy used ones. but I’ll keep looking around. Thanks
You have to follow the steps shown towards the end of this video which show how to find them on the Home Depot Website.
What is that small vertical piece of pipe (4") welded and sticking up in the passenger side and forward of the wheel (threaded at the top)? Put there for a reason that escapes me.
That pipe is described in this video: ruclips.net/video/oJMpfO18fcs/видео.html
Hey DB,
I saw the 3,000GVW do you know what the trailer weight is?
Weight is 1000 lbs
Put an add on marketplace or Craigslist
1 cubic yard pine needles $30
Makes great mulch
Local delivery to your driveway
Someone will buy it.
Around where I live, people don't use them for mulch. They get rid of the pine needles.
Yeah I see trucks sometimes w pine straw bales on them
The trailer is built somewhat similar to the older UHaul trailers ,I wouldn’t be too surprised if they were either designed or built by the same people I will say Torsion axles are better than leaf spring for a smoother ride but it’s not really relevant for cargo and utility trailers because of their type of contents that are hauled with them sure hauling small trailers with leaf springs without a load will get noisy and airborne at times but that doesn’t really matter much I’ve had many small boat trailers that made lots of noise empty but it didn’t hurt anything , besides I pull them in my 3500 Dually Diesel pick up that is bouncy and noisy on its own a lot of times the trailers spitting grease out of the hubs is because they were overgreased very common if trailers have Bearing Buddies when that grease gets hot it expands and i’ve seen that blow the Bearing caps or Buddies clean off the trailer on highways because it is spinning so many RPMs higher than the tire it will hit the pavement and shoot in front of the tow vehicle
Ditto on the dually - Mine is rough riding as well. Rancho RS9000XL shocks dialed down to the soft setting helps when I'm not towing / hauling.
You've got that backwards. The tread on the tire is experiencing a LOT more speed than the bearings because the bearings are close to the point of rotation, where the tire tread is far out there and moving much faster for every turn of the wheel.
Is it just simple tools to change the tires?
Yes. Same tools needed to change any other tire.
Does Home Depot rent hydraulic dump trailers also???
Some stores do rent hydraulic dump trailers. I've even found the retired ones for sale, but that's been at least a year ago.
Inside dimensions of this trailer are 58" x 98"
Price will vary depending on the location of the Home Depot and the brand trailers they have. I've seen prices range from $1250-$1500
Where are you finding them available in Washington?
I haven't seen any available in WA for over a year.
@@deltabravo1257 ya, I didn't catch that it was a year ago. Thanks.
Does Home Depot sell a dual axial trailer that would be large enough for a small side by side?
No, they don't. Also, a dual axle trailer is overkill for a SxS. That much weight capacity isn't needed for a SxS. All you need is a single axle (3500lb axle) trailer.
@@deltabravo1257 thx for the info
it is built pretty well what do they sell them for ? yes i agree Torsion Axles are better but on the other hand of smoothness in the ride i concluded on my last Enclosed trailer with a Torsion axle is the smoothness of the ride wasn’t that important because i didn’t ride in it so what’s the big deal so it really isn’t worth the extra cost i paid $1250 is a great deal on those trailers compared to most of the other ones around
It really is a nice upgrade having a Torsion axle. The cargo doesn't bounce around like it does in a leaf spring trailer.
how much does the trailer weigh (alone)?
Empty weight is 1060 lbs
Is the 5x8 large enough to hold a 4x8 sheet of plywood?
I had other trailers that couldn’t lay the sheet goods flat because they were just too small
Yes, it's large enough. The inside dimensions are listed above.
I've always wanted to buy a similar one from the U Haul fleet. They have some extra features for hauling motorcycles in theirs, like a bump-out in the front wall for the front wheel. And a corrugated floor that helps keep the bike form sliding from side to side. But they claim they never sell them, just scrap them when they're too old. They say they're worried that the next owner might come back at them with liability issues. I've also heard that's why you can't buy used UPS trucks as well. They'd rather scrap them than than take the risk of selling them.
The liability issue makes sense.
The LIABILITY ISSUE is total BULLSHIT ! The corporate lawyers SHOULD be able to find a way past it. Once it's sold out of the fleet , it's NOT THEIR PROBLEM.
I know states will vary, but how long of a grace period did you have, after purchase, to get the trailer registered for a tag? Thanks.
WA State law says "15 days". After 15 days, the state will start charging you a late fee at the point in time when you finally transfer the title, which I think maxes out at $125.
This particular Home Depot made me transfer the title before letting me take possession of the trailer.
The store by me had one for sale, sold it, the lady had title issues, returned it. They could not get a new title for around 9 months, each month the price dropped. It got all the way down to $200 dollars. Ended up selling it for $600.
Must have been bad record keeping on the part of Home Depot if they lost the title or something.
@@deltabravo1257 something happened between the cust and the Ca. DMV and she couldn't transfer the out of state title. I dont remember the specifics, but she got her money back.
I’m not telling Doug you can buy these! It will be our little secret 😇
For the money, they are a really nice trailer, plus I don't feel bad about it sitting out all winter and getting snowed on, etc. It's "pre-weathered".
does that center rail from the hitch ( that looks like channel facing downward ) does it go all the way to the back of the trailer ? or where does it stop at if not ?
I checked under the trailer. It doesn't go all the way from the front to the back. It stops at the frame member that supports the front of the fender.
@@deltabravo1257 wow .. i thought i would got the the back of the fender or all the way back,,, it would give it a long support if its loaded rear heavy,,, i've see trailers fold at the axle from that ,,,but i do notice they really did use heavier channel on most of the trailer
So.... how and where to buy?
How to buy is shown in the video. Where to buy.... Home Depot, just like the thumbnail reads.
do you think this will hold a pallet of sod
I'm not sure how heavy a pallet of sod is. If it's no more than 2300 pounds, it will. These trailers weight about 1200
I would mulch them. trees drop needles so they will decompose and give the nutrients back to the tree.
:-)
Does uhaul sell their car trailers too?
No, U-Haul doesn't sell any of their trailers. They scrap them.
Thank you for your video and the information. I learned a lot and Im planning on buying something similar
Glad it was helpful!
Venison burgers, steak, & roasts will make them more skidish😎🔥🥩
saw one for sale on the website for 1599.00 can it be negotiated down?
YES! I ALWAYS ask for a better price, and they always drop it.
Their computer system (in the tool rental department) will actually have a "bottom line" price shown.

@@deltabravo1257 i did non available how often do they come up?
Home Depot uses them for 5 years and surpluses them and buys new ones
On the Home Depot website it does not look anything like the one that you have up it doesn’t show that information you might wanna go onto a website today and take a look.
Thanks
Where are you looking on the website?
When I check here (in their rental fleet) I see one exactly like the one I bought: www.homedepot.com/c/moving_supplies_equipment_rental#trailers
That’s strange I pull up the website and it shows nothing even for rental tools that’s strange. I’ll try doing it a different way thank you
i worked for a guy who had a black trailer like that but with leaf springs, it was older also.
They are nice trailers
Had no idea you could buy these! Great info!
Glad I could help!
Nice trailer, like the sturdiness of it
What does this trailer weigh when empty?
I'm not really sure what it's empty weight is. I haven't weighed it yet.
7:15
Actually 11:55 shows the info you need to know. GVWR is 2999, the for-sale trailer says max cargo weight 1999, so I'd say it weighs 1000 or thereabouts. Home Depot sticker on his says max cargo 1750, which is probably just de-rated for safety because the average trailer renter is not a great weight estimator. Then again, the axle is 3500lbs and the trailer's plenty stout to handle that, this size trailer are all just rated to be under 3k because many states require brakes on trailers at 3k gvwr. For comparison's sake, my Aluminum 2990-rated trailer weights 390lbs empty, or 525 with 32" wood sides and a spare.
Don’t need a trailer, however it would be nice to own as a just in case sort of thing.
Trailers are nice to have when needed.
What is the little vertical pipe on the right side A-Frame for? I noticed that you've put a cap on yours.
It's for the "vehicle registration". Cap was there when I bought the trailer.
How did you buy the trailer?
I found it online like the video shows, then I went to the store and told them I wanted to buy it.
Why don't you burn the pine needles?
Creates too much smoke, plus I live in a dry climate where burning yard waste is not safe.
None available near me. Wish it would search a larger area.
Plug in various large cities further away to get different search area. That;s how I search all over WA State.
@@deltabravo1257 Are they one there very often? I wonder what kind of cycle they get new ones.
They are on a 5 year replacement cycle.
You could probably take that to a shop and have it bead blasted down and then have a rhino bedliner put it in it,,,they spray it in pretty durable
I'm afraid to even think what that would cost.
Went to my local HD and they wouldn't sell it to be because they didn't have the title. I guess they are trying to get it. Did you have any issues getting the title? Great Vid BTW
I didn’t have any issues with the title. Fortunately, my local store had the title in their possession. I’ve heard that often times they don’t have the title and need to get it from Compact Power, which is the name of the company that owns and manages the trailers.
Ya they aren't bad, I've always wanted a U-haul trailer and i think they are virtualy impossible to buy. I have never seen anything U-haul for sale.
U-haul apparently scraps their trailers at "end of life". They last a long time though, probably because they are made of galvanized steel.
Can’t find one for sale?
The only come up for sale every 5 years. Check the VIN tag on the trailers at your local store next time you are there. The VIN tag shows the build date. They will come up for sale about 5 years after they were built.
Beautiful & thanks for sharing!😎
Thanks for watching!
You better put a lock nut on the bolt before you lose the wing nut so the gate dont swing open when go down the road
Snugging the big wing nut tight is all that's required.
