Tire shop wont install LTs on my trailer

My local tire shop which I have bought several sets of car/truck tires through and does install tires on trailers told me that due to liability reason associated with the lower weight rating on an LT tire they can't install them. Said I would have to take the tires/rims off the trailer and take them in separately was the only way they could do it.

Obvious reply is going to be to go find another tire shop which is what I will likely have to do. Just trying to get an idea if this is a common theme with tire shops and putting LT tires on trailers?

We have a home-made utility trailer with a Jeep axle and wheels. I mistakenly mentioned to the tire store that we have been dealing with for many years that the tires were for a trailer. After being on here for a few years we definitely did not want ST tires. But, that's all they would sell us since it was for a trailer - apparently for insurance reasons. Towmax.
