Pelican is an unknown quantity at this point
I've got an 18' Pace American I custom ordered for my lawn care operation. I've had it going on 8 years, it has worked out pretty well.

Some options you might want to consider:

Extra headroom. The cost is minimal and allows you to stand upright inside.

Translucent roof. Allows natural lighting, makes finding tools much easier.

Extended tongue. Makes towing with a dump truck safer. This lessens the chance of truck to trailer body contact during tight turns.

Curbside ramp door. Allows extra access to the trailer, and can keep your workers out of traffic and safe.

After 5 years, I had some fairly serious cracking where the tongue meets the trailer frame that I repaired with gussets. This has been the only problem with the trailer. I chose Pace for both price and willingness to build the trailer to my specs at a very reasonable price. All the options I listed totaled less than $1000.
