8.5x14 Enclosed Trailer Overview

An 8.5x14 enclosed trailer gives you 8.5 feet of interior width and 14 feet of usable length, wrapped in a fully enclosed, lockable shell. It’s big enough to haul tools, equipment, ATVs, or inventory, but still compact enough to tow with a properly equipped truck or SUV.

This 8.5x14 enclosed cargo trailer is ideal if you:

• Need more space than a 7-wide trailer

• Want room to walk around inside and organize shelves or racks

• Haul equipment that must stay dry, clean, and secure

• Plan to use your trailer as a mobile workshop or storage unit

With tandem axles, electric brakes, and a strong frame, this 8.5x14 enclosed trailer is designed for real daily work, not just the occasional weekend trip.

8.5x14 Enclosed Trailer Specs & Standard Features

Below is a sample spec layout of what a typical 8.5x14 tandem axle enclosed trailer from our factory-direct lineup includes. Exact specs may vary by package and options, but this gives a clear idea of the build quality you can expect.

Frame & Structure

• 8.5′ wide x 14′ long enclosed cargo body

• Heavy-duty steel main frame

• Welded construction for strength and durability

• Reinforced tongue and A-frame design

Doors, Access & Security

• Rear ramp door for easy rolling load-in and load-out

• Side entry door with RV-style latch for quick access

• Door hardware designed for frequent daily use

The ramp door is perfect for wheeled equipment, while the side door makes quick stops faster and safer.

• Multiple color options available to match your brand or preference

• Stone guard on the front for rock and road debris protection

• Quality fenders and trim for a clean finished look

• Exterior LED lighting for better visibility and safety on the road

8.5x14 vs Other Enclosed Trailer Sizes

Not sure if an 8.5x14 enclosed trailer is the best fit? Comparing sizes can help you get it right the first time.

When 8.5x14 Is the Perfect Fit

Choose an 8.5x14 tandem axle enclosed trailer when:

• You need more room than a 7-wide trailer

• You haul multiple pieces of equipment or several bikes

• You want space to move around inside while loading or working

It’s a great “do-it-all” size for growing businesses and serious hobby use.

When to Consider a Smaller Size

A smaller trailer, like a 7x14 or 7x12, may be better if:

• You mainly haul light loads or a single mower or bike

• You have tight parking or storage space

• You want the easiest possible towing and maneuvering

Smaller enclosed trailers can be a good stepping stone for new businesses or first-time trailer owners.

When to Go Bigger

You might look at an 8.5x16, 8.5x18, or 8.5x20 enclosed trailer if:

• You haul multiple large mowers or several ATVs

• You need room for large shelving systems or built-in work areas

• You plan to grow your business and want extra capacity from day one

If you’re on the fence, many buyers find that 8.5x14 is a smart middle ground between “not enough space” and “more trailer than they really need.”

FAQs About 8.5x14 Enclosed Trailers
