6' x 4' Single Axle Trailer
Introduction
The 6' x 4' (1830 x 1220mm) trailer is one of the most useful little big trailers around, small enough to tow behind a small car but big enough to handle most things thrown at it. Fold the front tailgate down and remove the rear and you can cart a longer load with ease. Great for camping, home renovations or just everyday use, this is a small trailer with big possibilities.

Just a note of caution if towing this trailer behind an SUV or similar sized vehicle. This size of trailer can and will disappear behind a larger vehicle and it can be easy to forget you are towing a trailer if unseen, it can also make the trailer difficult to reverse.
Note about plywood decking
If you are using plywood for decking material, please check with your local suppliers for true 8' x 4' sheet sizes (2440 x 1220mm) as these can be difficult to source. The design below is for a true 4' (1220mm) wide trailer and if 1220mm wide sheets are unavailable, you will need to compensate by reducing the chassis cross members, light channel, tailgate panels and tailgate tie rails by 20mm. All other measurements will be the same as shown. The trailer will be a true 6' (1830mm) long.
For other decking options see " Trailer Decking"
NOTE -If are contemplating galvanising your trailer it pays to do a bit of prep work on your cross members prior to welding. Please check the Pre-Finishing page prior to starting.
