What is the most popular utility trailer size? ›

The 6×12, 7×14, and 7×16 utility trailers we have in-stock are indeed the most popular utility trailers of all time. But that truly means nothing unless you get a trailer that's going to provide you many years of useful life.

So what are the best utility trailer brands? The best utility trailers are Sure-Trac, FLOE, and Sport Haven. They are made from aluminum, steel, wood, and even polymer. You'll find single and tandem axles, some with no sides, and all the way up to 24" sides.

Utility trailers are typically used for hauling equipment, tools, and other materials. These trailers range in size from small, single-axle models to larger, tandem-axle models. With proper maintenance, a utility trailer can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years.

Even with the high cost of materials though, many find that building a trailer is cheaper overall—at least when we're talking only in dollar amounts. The other costs come in when you consider tools and time.

With cargo capacity totaling 142 cubic feet, household items such as loveseats, kitchen furniture and children's beds fit seamlessly into our 4x8 cargo trailers. Enclosed trailer rentals are popular for both personal moves and businesses in many ways.

If you have a UTV that measures 120 inches (10 ft), we typically would recommend going to up in trailer length by 2 ft to a 14 ft trailer. This gives you room for a cooler, gas can, and other gear you might need on your trip. For hauling multiple UTVs a tandem axle trailer in 20 or 22 ft are popular choices.

On the other hand, with aluminum, a quick acid bath will generally help keep it looking as good as new. For that reason, aluminum trailers typically have a higher resale value than steel and may be the more cost-effective purchase in the long run.

Some of the main factors you'll need to consider when you look for your next trailer include its construction material, braking system, tyres, size, and type.

Greasing Regularity

Most trailers need greasing every 10,000 to 12,000 miles. A single axle utility trailer may need less frequent greasing than a large K-trailer. On the other hand, boat trailers with small wheels may need more regular greasing. In some cases, they may need greasing every 2,000 miles.

Hauling Heavy Loads with Ease:

One of the primary benefits of owning a utility trailer is its exceptional capacity to haul heavy loads. Whether you need to transport furniture, construction materials, or gardening supplies, a utility trailer can handle it all.

Also, utility trailers are easier to load and are more lightweight than cargo trailers. As they take up less room, you can store your model in a compact space when it's not in use. These factors make owning and using a utility trailer more efficient and hassle-free.

Remember: Every RV's price is negotiable! Don't let emotions get in the way.

Standard enclosed trailers are 5', 6', 7', or 8.5'. Their lengths range from 8' to 28', with options like 10', 12', 14', 16', 20', and 24' commonly available. For example, you might find enclosed trailers described as 6' x 12', meaning the trailer is 6 feet wide and 12 feet long.

Common Trailer Sizes and Their Recommended Uses

There are multiple trailer sizes available, each with its own advantages. Some common sizes we carry include 5'x10', 6'x12', 7'x18', and 8'6”x28'' trailers. A 5'x10' trailer is ideal for small loads such as landscaping equipment and some furniture.

An average size travel trailer would be about 20 to 28 feet in length. This trailer would typically come with some pretty standard amenities you need on your journey.

Flatbed trailers are the most common type of trailers used for transporting cargo that does not require any special handling or protection from the elements. The flatbed trailer is popular for hauling cargo such as furniture and appliances.
