Enclosed Trailer with Barn Doors

If you need secure, weather-protected cargo space without a ramp taking up room, an enclosed trailer with barn doors is one of the most practical setups you can buy. Barn doors (also called rear swing doors, double doors, or split doors) give you full rear access, easy curbside loading, and a clean “box trailer” feel—ideal for tools, equipment, and general cargo.

Overview of an Enclosed Trailer With Barn Doors

Barn doors are a rear entry option where two doors swing open (instead of a ramp folding down). This design is popular when you:

• Load by hand, with a dolly, or from a dock

• Want maximum ground clearance behind the trailer

• Need rear access in tight driveways, garages, or job sites

• Prefer a lighter, simpler rear door setup than a ramp door

Best for: contractors, small businesses, storage, moving, deliveries, and gear hauling where a ramp isn’t necessary.

Trailer Configurations & Upgrade Options

Ramp Door vs Barn Doors: Which Should You Choose?

Choose barn doors if you:

• Mostly load by hand, dolly, or staged cargo

• Back into tight spaces where a ramp would be awkward

• Want a simpler rear setup with full open-door access

• Prefer maximum clearance behind the trailer (no ramp angle)

Choose a ramp door if you:

• Roll equipment in/out frequently (mowers, ATVs, motorcycles)

• Need drive-in loading convenience more than rear clearance

If you’re on the fence: tell us what you haul most often and how you load—it usually makes the decision obvious.

Side Door Options (Access Matters)

A side door can be a game-changer for barn-door trailers, especially when the trailer is packed. Options often include:

• Standard side door (simple, practical)

• Wider or upgraded side entry options (availability depends on build)

Height, Ventilation, and Interior Add-Ons

Barn-door buyers often customize for storage and jobsite usability:

• Extra interior height for standing room or tall cargo

• Ventilation for airflow (important if you store equipment long-term)

• Additional interior lighting

• Tie-down placement for safer hauling

• Shelving or interior layout add-ons (where available)

Weight, Payload, and Towing Requirements

Your towing needs depend on the trailer size, axle setup, and options. Two trailers that look similar can tow very differently once you add upgrades.

What impacts trailer weight the most?

• Trailer size (length and width)

• Axle configuration (single vs tandem)

• Extra height, heavier-duty frames, and interior upgrades

• Additional equipment (spare tire mounts, cabinetry, etc.)

Payload basics (GVWR vs payload)

• GVWR is the maximum loaded weight allowed for the trailer.

• Payload is how much cargo you can carry after subtracting the trailer’s empty weight.

If you tell us what you plan to haul (approximate weight + dimensions), we’ll recommend the right GVWR/axle setup and help you avoid overbuying—or underbuilding.

What vehicles can tow it?

Many enclosed barn-door trailers can be towed by trucks, SUVs, and vans depending on size and weight. The safest approach is:

1. confirm your vehicle’s tow rating,

2. choose the right trailer GVWR,

3. match hitch/ball and brake requirements to the trailer.

Safety note: Always confirm towing capacity, hitch rating, and local brake requirements before towing.

Best Uses for an Enclosed Trailer With Barn Doors

Frequently Asked Questions About Enclosed Trailers With Barn Doors

What are barn doors on an enclosed trailer?

Are barn doors better than a ramp door for an enclosed trailer?

Barn doors are “better” when you don’t need roll-in loading. They’re great for hand loading, dock loading, tight spaces, and maximizing rear clearance. Ramp doors are better when you regularly roll equipment in and out.

Many buyers start with 6x12, 7x12, or 7x14, then adjust based on cargo size, towing vehicle, and interior space needs.

Weight varies widely based on size, axle setup, and upgrades. The fastest way to get an accurate number is to quote the exact build (size + options), then confirm vehicle towing compatibility.

Capacity depends on GVWR and the trailer’s empty weight. Payload = GVWR − empty weight. Tell us your cargo weight and we’ll recommend the right setup.
