8.5x20 Enclosed Trailer Specs & Dimensions

Overall Size and Interior Dimensions

Exact dimensions can vary slightly based on options, but an 8.5x20 enclosed trailer typically includes:

• Exterior width: around 8.5 ft for full highway-legal width.

• Interior width: enough to fit most standard vehicles between the walls.

• Interior length: about 20 ft of usable floor space.

• Interior height: multiple height options, often from around 6’3″ up to 7′ or more depending on configuration.

This gives you room to walk around cargo, open vehicle doors more easily, and stack items when needed.

Payload Capacity, Axles, and Brakes

Your payload capacity depends on axle size and trailer setup. Common options include:

• Tandem 3,500 lb axles for lighter cars and general cargo.

• Tandem 5,200 lb axles for heavier loads and frequent car hauling.

Every 8.5x20 enclosed trailer we build is designed with proper braking and suspension to match its rated capacity. Talk to us about what you plan to haul, and we’ll guide you to the right axle and brake setup.

• Rugged steel frame and crossmembers.

• Durable wall panels designed for enclosed cargo use.

• Strong floor suited for vehicles, pallets, and equipment.

• A roof system built to handle regular use and varying weather.
