Popular and Versatile

A 6×12 enclosed trailer is an excellent choice for customers who need secure cargo space without the added weight and size of a larger trailer. Its compact design makes it lightweight, easy to haul, and simple to maneuver, making it a great option for both personal and professional use. The lower profile helps reduce wind resistance and drag while towing, improving fuel efficiency and providing a smoother towing experience — especially during everyday driving and in-town trips where space is limited.

The 6×12 size provides a practical amount of room for tools, equipment, landscaping supplies, motorcycles, recreational gear, small ATVs, and general cargo while remaining easy to store in residential driveways and tighter spaces. This trailer size is popular among contractors, small businesses, outdoor enthusiasts, and homeowners who need dependable enclosed storage without the challenges of a larger trailer. With its balance of capacity, portability, and ease of towing, a 6×12 enclosed trailer is a versatile solution for work and recreation.

Consider the Dimensions

Standards & Customizations

Typical dimensions on a 6×12 enclosed trailer can vary slightly by manufacturer, but most models feature an interior width around 69–70 inches and an interior height between 70–78 inches (roughly 5’10” to 6’6″ tall). At Western States Trailer, customers can also customize trailer height when additional clearance is needed for taller cargo, shelving systems, or specialized equipment setups.

Most 6×12 models are equipped with a 3,500 lb axle, though heavier-duty axle packages are often available for increased payload capacity. Rear ramp door openings are commonly around 64–65.5 inches wide and 66–74 inches tall depending on roof style and trim package. These door dimensions make loading motorcycles, ATVs, lawn equipment, pallets, and carts much easier compared to smaller enclosed trailers.

A 6×12 trailer also offers enough interior space for optional upgrades like built-in cabinets, E-track tie-down systems, spare tire mounts, upgraded lighting, insulation, workbenches, or mobile business conversions while still remaining manageable for everyday towing and storage.

Most Common Uses

A 6×12 enclosed trailer is one of the most versatile trailer sizes available, making it a popular choice for both personal and commercial use. The single axle design keeps it lightweight, easy to tow, and highly maneuverable while still providing enough interior space for tools, equipment, recreational gear, and general cargo.

Common uses for a 6×12 enclosed trailer include:

Landscaping equipment and lawn care setups
Contractor tools and jobsite storage
Motorcycle hauling
ATV Transport
Mobile detailing or service businesses
Event and vendor equipment transport
Moving furniture and household items
Secure cargo hauling for businesses
Snowmobile transport in colder climates
Hobby, racing, and motorsports applications

Many customers also choose a 6×12 because it offers enough room for shelving, cabinets, tool storage, and custom layouts without requiring a much larger trailer footprint.

When a different style or size might be ideal

While a 6×12 enclosed trailer is a great all-around option for many hauling needs, it may not be the right fit for every application. Customers who need to transport side-by-sides, multiple recreational machines, larger vehicles, or oversized loads may benefit from moving up to a larger trailer size for additional clearance, interior space, and flexibility.

A 6×12 may be the right choice for light-duty use such as carrying a few small items, basic storage, or limited cargo needs, where a smaller trailer may be a more practical and economical choice. However, for users who need a lightweight enclosed trailer with dependable storage capacity, easy towing, and excellent maneuverability, the 6×12 provides a balanced solution. Choosing the right trailer ultimately depends on the type of cargo being hauled, towing vehicle capability, and the amount of space needed for current and future needs.

Rear Door Types

When shopping for an enclosed trailer, one of the biggest decisions is choosing between a ramp rear door and barn doors. Ramp door enclosed trailers are ideal for loading ATVs, motorcycles, lawn equipment, side-by-sides, and other wheeled cargo because the rear door folds down into a convenient loading ramp. This makes loading and unloading fast, safe, and efficient without needing additional equipment. Barn door enclosed trailers, on the other hand, feature two swing-open rear doors and are often preferred for contractors, cargo hauling, and situations where space behind the trailer is limited. Barn doors are lighter, provide easier walk-in access, and can be more convenient when parked in tight areas. Choosing between a ramp door vs barn door enclosed trailer ultimately depends on how you plan to use your trailer, the type of cargo you haul, and how often you need ground-level loading access.

Barn Door Style

Barn-style doors on an enclosed trailer are a popular option for customers who prioritize simplicity, durability, and maximum interior clearance. Instead of a fold-down ramp, barn doors swing open from the center, making them ideal for loading hand-carried cargo, tools, boxes, motorcycles with portable ramps, or equipment loaded by forklift. Many customers also prefer barn doors because they reduce overall trailer weight, eliminate the space needed for a ramp door to fold down, and can be easier to open in tight parking areas or storage spaces. For businesses and contractors, barn doors also provide quick access to cargo without needing the extra room behind the trailer required for a full rear ramp deployment.

Ramp

Ramp doors are one of the most popular rear door options for enclosed trailers because they make loading and unloading wheeled equipment fast and convenient. Customers hauling motorcycles, ATVs, side-by-sides, lawn equipment, carts, toolboxes, or rolling equipment often prefer a ramp door because it eliminates the need for separate loading ramps. The fold-down design creates a smooth transition into the trailer, making loading safer and more efficient for both personal and commercial use.

Many customers also choose a ramp door for the added versatility it provides. In addition to simplifying cargo loading, the ramp can double as a temporary work platform or staging area at events, job sites, or racetracks. For anyone frequently loading heavy or wheeled equipment, a rear ramp door is often the most practical and user-friendly enclosed trailer configuration.
