Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which Trailer Is Right for Me?

To determine the right trailer for your needs, consider factors such as the size and weight of the equipment you’ll be hauling, the terrain and distance you’ll be traveling, and your vehicle’s towing capacity. Enclosed 6×12 trailers provide security, weather protection, and ample space for landscaping gear, tools, and small machinery. Available in single axle and tandem configurations, they cater to different load requirements. Assess your specific hauling demands and choose a trailer that offers the optimal balance of size, durability, and towing ease to safely and efficiently transport your cargo.

Are 6×12 Enclosed Trailers Good for Landscape Companies?

Yes, 6×12 enclosed trailers are an excellent choice for landscape companies. The 6′ x 12′ size provides ample room to haul mowers, trimmers, blowers, edgers, and other essential landscaping equipment. The enclosed design protects tools and machinery from weather damage and theft while keeping them organized. Landscapers can securely store equipment overnight at job sites. With suitable capacity for most small to medium landscaping operations and towability by standard trucks, 6×12 enclosed trailers offer versatility and security, making them a practical option for professional landscaping businesses.

How Much Does a 6×12 Trailer Weigh?

A typical 6×12 enclosed trailer weighs between 1,200-2,000 lbs empty, depending on the specific model and construction. Single axle variants average around 1,200-1,600 lbs, while tandem axle models generally range from 1,600-2,000 lbs. Factors that impact trailer weight include the frame material (steel vs aluminum), sidewall and roof materials, flooring type, and included options or accessories. Always check the manufacturer’s specifications for exact unladen trailer weight, as this is crucial for safe towing. Ensure the trailer’s weight is compatible with your vehicle’s rated towing capacity.

What Is the Difference Between a 6×12 Single Axle Trailer and a 6×12 Tandem Trailer?

The key difference is that a single axle 6×12 trailer has one axle with two wheels, while a tandem trailer has two axles with four wheels total. Tandem axles provide several advantages:

• Higher Weight Capacity: Suitable for heavier loads.
• Improved Stability and Tracking: Enhanced performance at highway speeds.
• Better Weight Distribution: Reduces tongue weight and improves balance.
• Redundancy: Continues to function even if one tire fails.
• Reduced Load on Components: Minimizes stress on trailer parts and the tow vehicle.

However, single axle 6×12 trailers are lighter, more maneuverable in tight spaces, and generally less expensive. They’re sufficient for lighter loads under 3,500 lbs. Choose tandem axle trailers for heavier cargo or if you prioritize towing stability and safety.

How Much Weight Can a 6×12 Enclosed Trailer Hold?

Payload capacity for 6×12 enclosed trailers ranges from 2,200 lbs up to 7,000 lbs, depending on the axle configuration and trailer construction. Single axle models typically max out around 3,500 lbs, while robust tandem axle designs can handle 5,000-7,000 lbs or more. Note that the maximum load includes the weight of the trailer itself, so a 2,500 lb capacity trailer with a 1,500 lb empty weight can only carry 1,000 lbs of cargo. Always verify the trailer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) to determine the total allowed loaded trailer weight, and stay within the recommended payload to prevent unsafe overloading.
