Description

Description

Our smallest utility trailer is great for honey-do’s and modest jobs.  It’s tough just like the others, yet takes less space, and it’s easier to pull.  These DIY plans are for a Torsion Axle version of this Trailer.  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 Axle Trailer.  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.
