Hello Michael,
Thanks for writing in!
Yes, the Caliber PolyShield # CA34KJ can be used on an aluminum utility trailer, but whether it can be mounted directly to your top rails will depend on how those particular rails are constructed and whether they provide a solid mounting point.
I really wish I could give you a more direct answer on your specific trailer, but I don't want to tell you to drill into the top rails without knowing how they are constructed. I did attach a picture that one of our customers submitted showing the PolyShield installed on an aluminum trailer so you can see an example of how someone else has set theirs up.
What kind of aluminum trailer do you have?
