Description
Our smallest, this 4×6 utility trailer is great for honey-do’s, modest jobs, or to haul a motorcycle. Small and light also means easier to store and to pull behind a smaller vehicle. Yet, even small, this trailer is tough to handle all the odd jobs.
Specifications:
- 4′ x 6′ Functional Bed Size (Inside Frame Rails for True 4′ Cargo Width.)
- Single Axle – 2000 lb. Capacity, Leaf Spring Style.
- Has Design Options for a Removable Ramp, and Various Types of Sides.
- Includes Simple Plans for a Motorcycle Travel Stand.
- All Our Plans Include Complete Drawings and Illustrated Instructions.
4×6 Utility Trailer Details:
Plans include easy to follow, illustrated instructions — with a parts list, suggested places to purchase the components, and options for customizing the construction. (The animated image below shows some options. Other options are also in the blueprints.)
Design options maximize utility and usefulness, yet they also allow trailer customizing for your own unique needs. A top, sides or tailgate are options. Extras like a motorcycle stand, a ramp, toolbox mounting, tie-down bars, and more (all included in the plans) can add extra function to your 4×6 utility trailer.
This trailer has a traditional leaf spring suspension. If you prefer, we also offer similar 4×6 utility trailer plans designed for a torsion axle. Leaf springs are less money and more common, while torsion axles offer some ride benefits. We also offer blueprints for a 4’x8′-2000# Trailer with the same options as above, just with a 2-foot longer deck.

* Trailer load capacity depends on all the parts — axle(s), components and materials — as well as the craftsmanship in building. All these trailers are engineered to perform as stated when built as defined, and when proper care is given in construction. Capacity for this trailer requires proper choices for parts such as the hitch, axle, wheels, tires, safety chain, decking, bolts, pins, etc. Please make sure load capacities match or exceed the trailer capacity, and Do not exceed manufacturers limits.
Success with the trailer — in building and for trouble-free trailer life — depends on materials, construction techniques, welding skill, assembly methods, finishing and proper loading. Proper frame set-up and weld integrity are critical, as are bolt torques, tire pressure, tire condition and the mechanics of towing. Always use proper safety and securing equipment when loading or towing a trailer.
