8.5 x 22 Enclosed Trailer Overview
Why Choose an 8.5 x 22 Enclosed Trailer
The 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer is built for people who need room to breathe. You get a full 8.5-foot width, so you can load vehicles and wide equipment, plus 22 feet of length to organize tools, gear, and cargo without feeling cramped.
This size is ideal when you want:
Enough floor space for a car, side-by-sides, or multiple ATVs
Extra room for tools, cabinets, and workbenches
A comfortable layout for mobile businesses or jobsite storage
A stable, confident towing experience on highways and backroads
Instead of trying to make a smaller trailer do more than it should, the 8.5 x 22 enclosed cargo trailer gives you the capacity to haul what you need safely and efficiently.
Who This Size Is Perfect For (Business, Motorsports, Personal Use)
An 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer is a sweet spot for many buyers:
Contractors and trades: Electricians, plumbers, remodelers, painters, and landscape crews can set up a rolling workshop with shelves, racks, and equipment ready to go.
Motorsports and car enthusiasts: Haul race cars, drag cars, or project builds with space left over for tools, tires, and spares.
Small businesses and mobile services: Use the trailer as a mobile storage unit, marketing vehicle, or mobile shop to serve events and clients.
Outdoor and recreation users: Carry side-by-sides, ATVs, dirt bikes, kayaks, and camping gear in one protected space.
If you need a trailer that feels more like a mobile base of operations than just a box on wheels, an 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer is a strong choice.
Standard Features and Specifications
Dimensions, Weight Rating, and GVWR
A typical 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer gives you:
Approximate deck size: 8.5′ wide x 22′ long
Ample interior height for walking and loading (varies by configuration)
Strong GVWR options depending on axle packages
The goal is simple: enough capacity to haul your load safely without pushing the trailer or your tow vehicle too hard. When you reach out for a quote, our team can help match the right weight rating and axle setup to your specific hauling needs.
Frame, Walls, Floor, and Roof Construction
Build quality matters when you load heavy items, hit rough roads, or haul in different weather conditions. Your 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer can be equipped with:
Robust steel frame and crossmembers
Quality sidewall construction designed to resist flex and sway
A strong floor (commonly 3/4″ plywood or similar) to handle vehicles and equipment
A durable roof system that helps protect against leaks and weather exposure
The result is an enclosed cargo trailer that feels solid when you load it and stays stable when you tow it.
Ramp Door, Side Door, and Cargo Access
Easy loading and unloading is key, especially at this length. Common access features include:
Rear ramp door for rolling vehicles, ATVs, and carts
Side entry door for quick access to tools and gear
Optional stabilizer jacks or upgrades to help with loading angle and stability
Whether you are backing in a car or walking in with boxes, the 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer is designed to help you load safely and efficiently.
Lighting, Electrical, and Safety Features
A well-equipped 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer should also include:
Exterior lighting for visibility on the road
Interior dome lights so you can see your cargo
Proper wiring and connector setup for your tow vehicle
Electric brakes with the right axle package to help you stop with confidence
These safety and electrical features make long trips, night hauling, and busy job sites much easier to manage.
Tandem and Triple Axle 8.5 x 22 Options
When a Tandem Axle 8.5 x 22 Enclosed Trailer Is Enough
For many customers, a tandem axle 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer is the perfect balance of capacity and cost. It works well when you:
Haul moderate to heavy loads on a regular basis
Transport one vehicle plus tools and parts
Use the trailer for business inventory, tools, and equipment
Want smooth towing and easier maneuvering than larger triple axle setups
A tandem axle configuration spreads weight over four wheels, improving stability, braking, and tire life compared to a single axle.
When to Upgrade to a Triple Axle 8.5 x 22 Enclosed Trailer
If you push your trailer close to max capacity or carry especially heavy loads, a triple axle 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer can be the better choice. It is worth considering when you:
Regularly haul heavier vehicles or dense equipment
Take longer trips on highways and uneven roads
Want extra stability, smoother weight distribution, and additional braking capacity
Our team can help you compare tandem vs triple axle options based on what you plan to haul, how far you travel, and what you drive.
Brakes, Suspension, and Tire Packages
Axles are only part of the story. Your 8.5 x 22 enclosed cargo trailer can be configured with:
Electric brakes on the appropriate axles
Suspension setups designed to help absorb bumps and protect your cargo
Tire and wheel packages matched to your weight rating and use case
Together, these components help your trailer stay planted, track straight, and handle the demands of real-world towing.
Customization and Upgrade Packages
Interior Packages – E-Track, D-Rings, Cabinets, and Floors
One of the biggest advantages of an 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer is the blank canvas inside. You can turn it into exactly what you need. Popular interior upgrades include:
E-track systems to secure cargo along the walls or floor
D-rings and tie-downs for vehicles, machines, and large items
Workbenches, cabinets, and shelving for tools and parts
Upgraded flooring such as rubber coin or ramp flap protection
With the right interior package, your trailer becomes organized, efficient, and safer to work out of.
Exterior Options – Colors, V-Nose, Windows, and Trim
Your 8.5 x 22 enclosed trailer can also match your brand, your style, or your fleet. Common exterior options include:
Different metal and trim colors to match your business or team colors
V-nose designs to help with aerodynamics and extra front storage
Windows for natural light or customer-facing setups
Additional exterior accessories for convenience and visibility
A clean, professional exterior can also serve as a rolling billboard when you add logos and signage.
Doors, Ramps, and Loading Upgrades
Depending on what you haul, you can adjust how you load and unload:
Rear ramp doors with different spring and flap options
Side doors in various sizes and placements
Optional beavertail designs to make loading low vehicles easier

Tell us how you use your trailer, and we can guide you toward the best configuration.
