Description
Description
Our smallest utility trailer is great for honey-do’s and modest jobs. It is tough just like the others, yet takes less space, and it is easier to pull. These DIY plans are for a Torsion Trailer Axle. Otherwise, it is very similar to the leaf spring trailer plans for the same 4′ x 6′ size.
This small and light trailer is a workhorse. Yes, the size makes it easier to store, and easier to pull with a smaller vehicle, but it’s still fully engineered and tough for a long life. Torsion axles do well with small bumps and vibrations. They also do light loading well, so that makes this one at 1500 lbs or 2000 lbs a pleasure.
Build this 4′ x 6′, or build the slightly longer 4′ x 8′ Torsion Trailer Axle. They are similar, except for length.
Plans include easy to follow, illustrated instructions with a parts list and recommendations for places to purchase materials, and components. There are also options for customizing. Plans include many variations so you can build the trailer just the way you want it.

Notes for Success
* Trailer load capacity depends on all the parts and materials, as well as the craftsmanship in building. All Mechanical Elements trailers are engineered to perform as stated when built as defined with proper care in construction – including parts, material, construction techniques, weld integrity, assembly methods, and finishing. Capacity for this trailer also requires proper choices for parts such as the hitch, axle(s), wheels, tires, safety chain, decking, bolts, pins, etc. Please make sure component load capacities match or exceed the trailer total capacity. Do not exceed manufacturers limits.
For trouble-free trailer life, think care and safety. Please select fastening methods to handle how and where the trailer will operate – including vibration, proper fastener types, bolt grades, torques, and nut types (like lock nuts). Then, be smart about loading the trailer, load distribution, tire pressure, tire condition and the mechanics of towing. We want you safe to enjoy your trailer for a long time ahead. Always use proper safety and securing equipment when loading and towing a trailer.
Thank You — The Mechanical Elements Team
