Tall interior options built for real clearance — choose 6″ or 12″ added height and get the setup that matches what you haul.
If you’re shopping for an enclosed trailer with extra height, you’re already thinking like a smart buyer: more interior clearance means easier loading, less “ducking” inside the trailer, and better flexibility when you stack cargo. At Make My Trailer, you can order an extra-height enclosed trailer with the door style, interior height, and upgrade package you actually need — with Georgia pickup and a simple, factory-direct ordering process.
“Extra height” typically refers to added wall height (often 6 inches or 12 inches) compared to a standard enclosed trailer build. That extra wall height increases interior height, which can make a huge difference for:
Taller equipment and rolling items (dollies, carts, tool chests)
Stacked cargo (totes, boxes, bins, display gear)
Comfort if you step inside frequently (mobile work or storage access)
Better ramp door clearance when loading taller items
In short: extra height gives you usable vertical space — not just “a bigger trailer,” but a more functional one.
Most buyers decide between two common upgrades:
Choose 6 inches of extra height if you want a little more clearance without overbuilding the trailer. It’s a practical upgrade when:
Your cargo is almost too tall for standard height
You want easier stacking and access
You want improved headroom without changing the overall towing feel too much
Choose 12 inches of extra height if you need true “tall interior” function. It’s usually worth it when:
You haul taller equipment regularly
You want a more comfortable interior for frequent in-and-out use
You’re building a contractor setup, mobile service trailer, or storage-heavy layout
If you’re torn: think about the tallest item you load, plus the “real world” factor (ramps, wheels, hand trucks, and stacked bins add height fast).
When people search “extra height,” they’re usually trying to solve one of two problems:
Interior height is the standing room / vertical cargo space inside the trailer. Many extra-height builds are commonly associated with “tall interior” expectations (often referenced as 7’6″ interior height depending on build style and options).
Door clearance is just as important as interior height. Your cargo has to fit through the opening, not just inside the trailer. If you’re loading taller items, focus on:
Rear door opening height
Ramp approach angle (for low clearance items)
Any added interior features that reduce clearance (shelving, roof vent placement)
Best practice: decide your height upgrade first, then confirm door opening measurements for the exact build.
Extra height is even more valuable when paired with the right entry setup:
Ramp door: best for rolling cargo (motorcycles, ATVs, carts, equipment on wheels) and frequent loading.
Barn doors: simpler and often preferred for straightforward hand-loading or when you don’t want the ramp weight.
A side door makes a trailer far easier to use day-to-day — especially if the rear is parked close to a wall or loaded tight. If you want quick access to tools or gear without unloading everything, side entry is a smart add-on.
Extra height isn’t just a “nice upgrade.” For many buyers, it’s the difference between frustrating and effortless.
Common use cases include:
Contractors & service pros: easier access, better vertical storage, cleaner organization
Motorcycle / powersports hauling: improved clearance and loading comfort
Mobile service builds: room for shelving, racks, and workflow layouts
Event / vendor gear: stacking cases, bins, and displays without crushing items
General cargo & storage: less wasted space, better flexibility
Extra height is available across many footprints, but buyers often choose it on:
If you want help picking a size, the fastest way is to work backward from what you haul (largest item + how you load it + how often you want to walk inside).
Extra height creates more usable space — and these upgrades help you take advantage of it:
Ventilation (roof vent / side vents): reduces heat and moisture buildup
Tie-down systems (D-rings, track systems): prevents shifting loads
Lighting upgrades: makes the taller interior safer and easier to use at night
Roof construction & durability upgrades: helpful for long-term ownership
Lift options (where applicable): improves ground clearance for driveways and uneven terrain
If you plan to store cargo long-term, ventilation + cargo control are usually the best first upgrades.

It usually means added wall height (commonly 6″ or 12″) to increase interior clearance and usability.
It’s often enough if you’re close to standard clearance limits and mainly want easier stacking and access.
If you load tall equipment, want comfortable interior movement, or plan a contractor/mobile setup, 12″ is frequently the better long-term choice.
Interior height is your usable space inside. Door opening height is the clearance your cargo must fit through to enter the trailer — both matter.
In many builds, yes. This is a common combination for buyers who load equipment and still want quick side access.
It depends on the base build and how much extra height is added. The best approach is to confirm the interior height and door opening measurements for your exact configuration before ordering.
