Ordered Around Your Work

The Right Trailer Is the One Built for Your Job

Every trailer on our lot was chosen for everyday durability — but sometimes the job calls for a spec that isn’t sitting in anyone’s inventory. That’s where a custom order makes sense. Tell us what you haul, how often you’re loaded heavy, and what you’re towing with, and we’ll spec a trailer that matches your equipment, your routes, and your tow ratings instead of forcing your work to fit a stock unit. At Mentor Golf Carts & Trailers, custom doesn’t mean complicated. We handle the manufacturer ordering, keep you updated through the build, and prep the trailer before handoff — so the only surprise on delivery day is how exactly right it feels.

What You Can Customize on a Factory Order

Nearly every part of a factory order is a decision you get to make. Start with the bones: deck length, width, and height, deck-over versus between-fender layouts, and the axle count and GVWR rating your loads actually demand. Then shape how you load — spreader gates, barn doors, slide-in ramps, side heights, stake pockets, and the D-rings and rails that keep cargo planted.

From there it’s the working details: lockable tongue boxes and tarp kits, LED lighting and wiring matched to your tow vehicle, load-range tire upgrades and mounted spares, jack upgrades, and factory finish options. We’ll walk every line of the build sheet with you so the trailer that shows up is the one you’d have built yourself.

Simple From Start to Finish

How Custom Ordering Works at Mentor

Five steps, most of them ours. First, tell us what you haul — equipment, materials, weights, routes, and what you’re towing with. Second, we translate the job into a build sheet: size, axles, options, upgrades. Third, you approve one clear, itemized quote with no mystery fees. From there we place the factory order and keep you posted on current build timelines. When it lands, we prep everything and hand it off at our Ohio lot — or ship it nationwide to your door. You make the decisions; we handle the paperwork, the factory, and the prep.

Built With the Best

Custom Orders From Brands We Trust

A custom trailer is only as good as the factory behind it. Our custom program is anchored by Big Tex Trailers — building professional-grade trailers since 1982 — alongside Quality’s landscape, equipment, car hauler, tilt, and deckover lines and RC’s enclosed cargo trailers. Whatever you haul, we’ll order the build from the manufacturer that does it best.

Custom build-sheet checklist
Deck dimensions	Length, width, and deck-over vs. between-fender — sized to your longest, widest regular load
GVWR target	Heaviest realistic load plus margin — the number every axle and tire choice hangs on
Loading style	Ramp gate, slide-ins, dovetail, or tilt — chosen for how you actually load
Securement	D-rings, rub rails, stake pockets, and E-track where your tie-downs really land
Storage & power	Toolboxes, spare mounts, battery and charging where the work needs them
Lighting & wiring	LED packages and connectors matched to your tow vehicle
Finish & extras	Colors, tarp kits, and option packages — the details that make it yours

Custom ordering choices compared
Choice	Pick It When	Trade-Off
In-stock unit	The fit is right and the need is now	You adapt to the spec on the lot
Factory custom order	The spec matters more than the wait	Lead time — quoted honestly upfront
Dealer-ordered custom	You want prep, support, and warranty help	None — that's the point of a dealer
Fleet spec	Multiple identical trailers over time	Lock the build sheet once, reorder forever

Every recommendation gets checked against your tow vehicle and your actual loads before you order — that math is part of every quote.

Custom order terms explained
Build sheet	The line-by-line factory specification your trailer is built to
Lead time	The factory's current build-and-ship window, quoted before you commit
Option package	Bundled factory upgrades — often cheaper than the parts individually
Prep / PDI	Our pre-delivery inspection: lights, brakes, tires, and paperwork checked before handoff
Itemized quote	Base model plus each option priced separately — no mystery numbers
Factory order	A trailer built for you at the manufacturer, not pulled from anyone's lot
GVWR	The loaded legal maximum your whole spec is engineered around
Title & registration	Handled through the dealership as part of every sale

Rooted in Mentor, Ohio

Serving Northeast Ohio — and Shipping Nationwide

Our lot sits at 8647 Tyler Blvd in Mentor, an easy drive from Willoughby, Painesville, Kirtland, Madison, Geneva, and the whole Cleveland east side — and buyers regularly make the trip from Akron, Canton, and across the state line because inventory and straight answers are worth the drive. Walk the rows, compare build options side by side, and hitch up the same day when the fit is right.

Not local? No problem. We ship trailers nationwide, handle the paperwork on our end, and stay your point of contact after delivery — a real dealership behind the sale, wherever the trailer lands.
