Weed Eater Racks for Open Trailer - Trimmer Rack Weedeater Rack for Trailer Landscape Truck Holder Lawn Equipment Accessories w/Lock

What It Is

A steel rack that mounts to the side rail of an open utility trailer or landscape truck bed, designed to carry up to two gas or electric string trimmers (weed eaters) upright and secure them with integrated locks.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Trailer rail size: Fits standard 2-inch by 4-inch or 2-inch by 3-inch rectangular tube rails. Measure your trailer’s top rail width and thickness before ordering—will not fit round rails or rails under 1.5 inches wide.
• Trimmer shaft diameter: Accepts shafts up to 1.5 inches diameter. Check your trimmer’s shaft (most straight-shaft models fit; curved-shaft trimmers may be too narrow and wobble).
• Brand/model: Universal fit for brands like Echo, Stihl, Husqvarna, Ryobi, and DeWalt. Not compatible with battery-only trimmers that have bulky battery packs at the base (e.g., EGO Power+).
• Hardware: Includes U-bolts and lock nuts for mounting. No drilling required, but you’ll need a socket wrench (not included) to tighten bolts.

Key Things to Know

• Lock quality: Included padlocks are basic disc locks—easily picked. Replace with a better shroud-style lock for actual security.
• Installation: Takes 15-30 minutes. Tighten bolts evenly to prevent rack from twisting. Use thread locker if you trailer vibrates a lot on highways.
• Rust concern: Black powder coat finish chips at bolt points. Apply a dab of touch-up paint or silicone spray after install to prevent corrosion.
• Trimmer stability: Holds trimmers by the shaft, not the head. If your trimmer has a heavy head, the unit may tilt forward. Add a bungee strap as backup for rough roads.

Should You Buy It

Best for landscapers or homeowners who already have an open trailer with square rails and need a simple, lockable way to transport two trimmers without laying them flat. If your trailer has round rails, you need a different mount. For the price, it works—but upgrade the locks and plan for minor rust maintenance.
