All of our trimmer racks like the Lockable Dual Trimmer Rack for Open Utility Trailers # 288-01811 are bolt-on. So, you'd either need to run a bolt through the tube on your trailer, or you'll need to run U bolts around the tube.

Like I had mentioned before, all of our trimmer racks like the Lockable Dual Trimmer Rack for Open Utility Trailers # 288-01811 are bolt-on. There is no kit available to work with a round tube frame, unfortunately, so, you're going to either need to run a bolt through the tube on your trailer, or you can run some U bolts around the tube. I have attached a picture of a neighbor that has attached the Lockable Dual Trimmer Rack # 288-01811 to their round tube frame utility trailer so you can get a visual on how you could possible accomplish this.

Hey Clarence. There's no way to look at a tire or wheel and tell if it's a 5 on 4-1/2 or a 5 on 5 but you can take a real quick measurement to figure it out. If you'll look at the picture below you'll see a wheel with a red line on…

Hi Kyler! We definitely have center caps and lug nuts that you can use, but the Kenda Karrier KR35 ST175/80R13 LRD Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Aluminum AM03 Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 #KE34TJ does not include them. With that said, I recommend the…

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…
