Why SHIFTR is the Right Trailer for Lawn Care Contractors

Whether you’re mowing sports fields, city parks, large estates, or a full day’s worth of suburban lawns, one thing is always true:

If you can’t move your equipment efficiently, you can’t run your business efficiently.

Ramps are risky. Traditional utility trailers are too steep or too narrow. And loading multiple zero-turns usually requires two people, a lot of time, and a little luck.

The SHIFTR car trailer changes that.

It’s the smart, ground-level loading trailer built to carry one or two full-size zero-turn mowers, with no ramps, no injuries, and no wasted time.

The Problem with Standard Mower Transport

If you’re still using a standard utility trailer, you know the drill:

  1. Steep ramps = scraped decks and tipped machines
  2. Wood blocks and extensions just to load a second mower
  3. Hard-to-reach tie-down points that waste time
  4. Two-person operation just to get loaded safely
  5. No backup plan if a mower won’t start

Every minute wasted loading is a minute not mowing.

And that adds up fast when you're running a crew.

SHIFTR Makes Equipment Transport Easy

The SHIFTR car hauler trailer features a remote-controlled hydraulic deck that lowers the entire trailer to the ground at a gentle 4-degree angle.

That means you can drive or push both mowers straight on, safely and solo.

Its durable design allows it to double as an equipment trailer, for applications like mower hauling.

Key benefits for mowing professionals:

  • Carries two full-size zero-turns or one wide commercial mower
  • Ground-level loading = no ramps, no risk of tipping
  • Fast solo loading = under 2 minutes
  • Over-the-tyre tie-downs = quick and secure, no underbody crawling
  • 83" wide steel deck handles commercial machines with ease
  • Tows behind standard pickups or fleet trucks
  • Optional use for hauling tools, trimmers, baggers, or light UTVs
  • Perfect for Municipal Teams or Private Contractors

Whether you’re managing city parks or running five residential crews, SHIFTR helps your team:

  • Reduce job turnaround time
  • Load safely without a second person
  • Minimize mower damage from bad loading angles
  • Standardize operations across multiple crews
  • Operate with more confidence in public or high-traffic areas

It’s built for daily use and tough conditions, and it makes your team look professional wherever they go.
