A Spacious 8.5x26 Enclosed Trailer Built for Work, Play, and Business

An 8.5x26 enclosed trailer gives you the sweet spot between maneuverability and maximum room. It is wide enough to haul a full-size vehicle and deep enough for tools, toys, and inventory, without feeling like a full-blown semi trailer behind your truck.

Haul More with a 26 Ft Enclosed Trailer

With 26 feet of enclosed length, you gain:

• Extra room for cars, UTVs, ATVs, and motorcycles

• Space for toolboxes, pit gear, tires, or merchandise

• Flexibility to separate “clean” and “dirty” zones inside the trailer

Whether you use it once a month for big trips or every day for work, the 8.5x26 layout makes loading, organizing, and securing cargo much easier than shorter trailers.

Built Tough for Daily Use and Long Trips

This 8.5x26 enclosed trailer is designed to handle:

• Long highway runs at speed

• Rougher local roads and job sites

• Frequent loading and unloading with heavy gear

From the frame to the floor, each component is chosen to protect your cargo and stand up to years of use — not just a handful of weekends.

Key Benefits of Our 8.5x26 Enclosed Trailers

Room for Cars, Toys, and Serious Cargo

The 8.5x26 floor plan works for:

• Car and race haulers

• ATV and toy haulers

• Contractor and work trailers

• Event, vendor, and mobile business setups

You can roll in a vehicle, stack equipment on shelves, add cabinets, and still have walking room to move around and work inside.

• Out of sight when parked overnight

That means more peace of mind when you’re on the road or away from the trailer.
