A small enclosed cargo trailer is designed for maximum convenience: compact dimensions, easy maneuvering, and secure, weather-protected storage. Buyers consistently look for “small” because it’s easy to tow and easy to load—without needing a huge footprint.
Small enclosed trailers are popular for:
Tools and equipment for contractors and service pros
Small business deliveries and event gear
Moving boxes, storage bins, and seasonal items
Light recreational hauling (size-dependent)
Tell us what you’re hauling and we’ll recommend the best small trailer size for your needs.
Choosing the right size is the fastest way to avoid regret. Here’s the simple buyer-first breakdown.
If your priority is “as small as possible,” 4x8 is the classic starting point. Many buyers choose 4x8 because it’s commonly positioned as the smallest enclosed cargo trailer option—focused on light-duty hauling and simple towing.
Best for:
Boxes, totes, small loads
Light business hauling
Tight parking/storage situations
Consider 4x8 if:
You want minimal trailer footprint
You don’t need extra interior height or longer cargo
If you want to stay compact but carry bulkier items, 5x8 tends to feel like “small—but usable for more.” Many enclosed trailer shoppers gravitate to 5x8 because it stays easy to manage while giving you better cargo arrangement and flexibility.
Best for:
Tools, inventory bins, small equipment
Buyers who want “still small” but easier loading/arranging than 4x8
If you’re often “almost fitting” items in your current setup, 6x10 gives you a meaningful length boost without jumping into a big trailer. This is a strong choice for growing businesses or frequent hauling.
Best for:
Heavier or longer cargo
Buyers who want fewer “I wish I had more space” moments

Small doesn’t mean “basic.” The right options make your trailer easier to use, safer to tow, and more secure.
Common high-value features buyers look for:
Weather protection + security (the top reason people go enclosed)
Easy loading and wide rear access (especially for bulky items)
Tie-down points / D-rings to keep cargo stable
Ventilation to reduce heat and moisture inside the trailer
Lighting upgrades (like an LED dome light) for real usability
V-nose option for aerodynamics and extra front space

Door choice is one of the biggest “make-or-break” decisions for a small enclosed trailer—because it changes how you load every day.
Choose a ramp if you load items with wheels or want walk-in loading:
Equipment carts
Mowers
Bikes
Dollies and hand trucks
Many premium small trailer listings highlight usability upgrades like spring-assist ramps and ramp extensions because they reduce strain and improve loading.
Choose barn doors if your loading is mostly lift-in or you want:
Simpler access
A lighter “open/close” feel
Maximum rear opening height without a ramp angle
A side door is an underrated upgrade. It lets you:
Grab tools without unloading the whole trailer
Access cargo when parked in tight spaces
Enter the trailer when the rear is blocked
If you want the easiest loading setup, ask for a ramp + side door quote.
Most shoppers searching “enclosed trailer small” care about one thing right away: Can my vehicle tow it? Small enclosed trailers are popular because they’re often easy to tow in this category—but safe towing comes down to matching the trailer to your vehicle and cargo.
Empty weight = what the trailer weighs with no cargo
GVWR = the maximum allowed trailer + cargo weight
Payload = GVWR minus empty weight
Some small enclosed examples cite loads up to about 1,600 lbs in certain 4x8 configurations, but real-world numbers vary by trailer build, options, and axle rating—so we’ll match the trailer to your actual needs.
Before you buy:
Check your vehicle’s tow rating
Confirm hitch class and wiring
Plan for tongue weight and cargo balance
Tell us your vehicle year/make/model and what you’re hauling, and we’ll guide you to a sensible small trailer setup.
Small enclosed trailers shine when you want secure, organized hauling without the hassle of a large trailer.
Popular use cases:
Contractors & service pros: lockable tool storage + clean organization
Small businesses: deliveries, pop-up event gear, inventory transport
Moving & storage: keep items dry and protected from road debris
Recreation: light hauling (choose size/door setup based on what you carry)
This is where you tailor the trailer to your real life. Great listings are packed with specific options—so we make those choices simple.
Common upgrades buyers request:
Extra height for easier loading and more vertical space
Wall liner to protect the interior and reduce scuffing
Floor D-rings for cargo control and stability
Flow-thru vents to manage heat and moisture
LED dome light for practical visibility
Color + exterior upgrades depending on availability and build preferences
Build your small trailer by choosing size + doors + upgrades, then request your quote.

Most buyers consider 4x8 and 5x8 “small,” with 6x10 often being the “small-to-mid” step up when you need extra length.
It varies based on size, axle rating, and upgrades. A basic compact build will weigh less than the same size with extra height, reinforced flooring, or additional doors. Share your tow vehicle and we’ll recommend a safe range.
That depends on the trailer’s GVWR and empty weight. We’ll help you pick an axle/GVWR that matches your real cargo needs.
4x8 is great for boxes and smaller loads; 5x8 adds flexibility for bulkier cargo and easier arrangement. If you share cargo dimensions, we’ll confirm fit before you buy.
Ramp: best for rolling equipment and frequent in/out loading.
Barn doors: best for lift-in loads and simple rear access.
Premium small builds often add usability features like spring assist ramps for easier operation.
If you access tools regularly or park in tight areas, a side door is one of the most useful upgrades you can add.
Many SUVs and pickups can tow small enclosed trailers when properly equipped, but you should always verify your tow rating, hitch, and wiring. Tell us your vehicle details and we’ll guide you.
