Enclosed Trailer Size Guide

What Size Enclosed Trailer Do I Need?

Short answer: Pick the length from your longest item plus about 2 feet of room, and the width from what has to fit between the wheel wells. 5x8 and 6x10 trailers suit small loads and tools. A 6x12 is the most popular size for landscapers and small moves. A 7x14 or 7x16 fits contractors, motorcycles and a pair of ATVs. 8.5-wide trailers from 16 to 24 feet fit side-by-sides, golf carts and cars.

How Do I Pick the Right Enclosed Trailer Size?

Start with the biggest thing you'll haul. Measure its length and width, then add about 2 feet of length so you can load, strap and walk around it. Check the width against the space between the wheel wells, not just the outside width. If you'll grow into more gear, go one size up. Bring your measurements and we'll show you units that fit.

Single Axle or Tandem Axle?

Smaller enclosed trailers (5x8 to 6x12) usually ride on a single axle, which keeps them light and easy to back up. Longer and wider trailers (7x14 and up) usually have two axles for heavier loads and a steadier tow. Match the trailer to a tow vehicle and hitch rated for it when it's loaded. We're happy to help you check.

The 6x12. It's big enough for a riding mower, tools or a small move, and small enough to park in a driveway and tow with many midsize SUVs and pickups.

What size enclosed trailer do I need for a motorcycle?

One motorcycle usually fits in a 6x10 or 6x12. For two bikes plus gear, most riders pick a 7x14.

What size enclosed trailer fits a side-by-side or golf cart?

Most side-by-sides and golf carts need an 8.5-wide trailer, usually 16 to 20 feet long. Measure your machine's width and check it against the space between the wheel wells.
