Trailer Plan Categories

Categories for our blueprints include the wide variety of great trailers:

  • Utility Trailers - From large to small, from really heavy duty to fairly lightweight.  (Though all are tough for their weight and capacity class.)
  • Deck-Over Trailers - From big to bigger.  We have lengths from 16 feet to 36 feet long.  There are options for 7000 lb. capacity up to 16,000 lb. capacity.  Follow the link to learn more.
  • Car Haulers and Equipment Carriers - These haulers made with decks that are lower than those of the Deck-Over trailers.  While Deck-Over trailers are often used to carry equipment, this category offers a lower deck, and a lower center of gravity.  These trailers are not generally as large, yet are perfect for hauling cars, skid loaders, tractors, or other equipment.
  • Tiny House Trailers - Designed specifically for building a tiny home.  These trailers provide an excellent foundation for your new tiny house on wheels.  Also see the article about the engineering the foundation of our tiny house trailer plans.
  • Specialty Trailers - These are unique and purpose driven.  They include our special off-road trailers, purpose-built ATV trailers, superb dump trailers, and the ever popular Canoe / Kayak trailer - which remains a staple for youth camps and boating outfitters.
  • Trailer Accessories - While not exactly trailer plans, this category is for items to customize and enhance the functionality of our blueprints.  It features conversions to change a single-axle leaf spring suspension into a full beam torsion axle.  Also, conversions to transform our single-axle utility trailer plans from fixed frame to a tilt-top for dumping.  Still other items include racks for transporting or storing canoes and kayaks, and the walking beam suspension options.  This is a fun category to explore for creative ideas.
