6 x 12 Enclosed Cargo Trailer

A 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer is one of the most versatile trailer sizes on the market. It’s large enough to haul serious equipment, tools, motorcycles, or inventory, yet compact enough to tow with many SUVs and pickup trucks. If you need a secure, weather-protected space to move your cargo while keeping everything organized and out of sight, a 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer is a smart, long-term investment.

At Make My Trailer, every 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer is built to order and picked up directly from trusted manufacturers in Georgia. You get a brand-new unit, factory fresh, with the configurations you actually need and backed by a manufacturer warranty.

Overview of the 6 x 12 Enclosed Cargo Trailer

The 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer (often written as a 6x12 enclosed cargo trailer) is a great “do-it-all” size. It offers a good balance between interior space and easy handling:

• Interior room for mowers, toolboxes, construction materials, event gear, or powersports machines.

• Compact exterior footprint that still fits into driveways, job sites, and parking lots without stress.

• Enclosed design that protects your load from rain, sun, wind, and road debris while also helping deter theft.

If you’re comparing sizes, a 6 x 10 enclosed trailer is slightly smaller and may work for lighter setups, If you need more room, a 6 x 14 enclosed trailer offers additional loading space, while a 7 x 12 enclosed trailer adds more room for bigger equipment or multiple machines. The 6 x 12 sits right in the middle: big enough for real work, small enough to tow comfortably.

Key Features and Specifications of the 6 x 12 Enclosed Cargo Trailer

Each 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer we offer is designed with durability and everyday usability in mind. Exact specifications can vary by manufacturer and configuration, but typical features include:

• Overall Size: 6 ft wide x 12 ft long enclosed cargo area

• Front Design: V-nose front to improve aerodynamics and towing efficiency

• Walls & Floor: Plywood wall and floor construction designed to handle tools, equipment, and machines

• Doors: Rear ramp door or double barn doors, depending on your selected setup

Empty weight and payload capacity will depend on the specific model and options you choose, but most 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailers are engineered to haul everyday work loads without feeling overloaded.

Single Axle vs Tandem Axle 6 x 12 Enclosed Trailers

Many buyers know they want a 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer but are not sure whether to choose a single axle or tandem axle configuration. Here’s how they compare.

Single Axle 6 x 12 Enclosed Cargo Trailer

A single axle 6 x 12 enclosed trailer is a great choice if:

• You’re hauling moderate loads such as tools, lawn equipment, smaller machines, or light inventory.

• You want a lighter trailer that’s easier to maneuver and back into tight spaces.

• You’re working with a mid-size tow vehicle and want to keep weight lower.

Single axle 6x12 enclosed trailers are often more affordable, require fewer components to maintain, and are perfect for many small business and personal uses.

Tandem Axle 6 x 12 Enclosed Cargo Trailer

A tandem axle 6 x 12 enclosed trailer is a better option if:

• You plan to carry heavier loads more frequently.

• You want added stability and braking capability on the highway.

• You haul equipment that pushes the upper range of what a single axle can comfortably handle.

Tandem axle setups typically support higher gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWR) and provide a smoother ride over longer distances. If you expect to max out your payload often, a tandem axle 6x12 enclosed cargo trailer is worth serious consideration.

Weight, Payload, and Towing Requirements

Before you buy any 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer, it’s important to think about weight and towing capacity.

• Empty (unloaded) weight: Many 6 x 12 enclosed trailers fall into a range that is comfortable for mid-size trucks and some SUVs, depending on configuration and options.

• GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): This is the maximum allowed weight of the trailer plus cargo. It will vary depending on single vs tandem axle, axle rating, and manufacturer specs.

• Payload capacity: Payload is GVWR minus empty trailer weight and tells you how much cargo you can safely carry.

Always check:

1. Your vehicle’s rated towing capacity in the owner’s manual.

2. The trailer’s GVWR and payload rating from the manufacturer.

3. That your hitch, ball mount, and brake controller (if used) are properly rated and installed.

A 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer is very manageable when properly matched with a capable tow vehicle and correctly loaded.
