Description

Description

As our smallest trailer, this 4×6 utility is great for honey-do’s, modest jobs, or to haul a small motorcycle.  Small and light also means easier to store and easy to pull behind a smaller vehicle.  Yet, even small, this trailer is tough, by design, to handle all the odd jobs.

4×6 Utility Trailer Details

Plans include easy to follow, illustrated instructions, with a parts list, components list, and suggested places to purchase the components.  We also include several options for customizing.  (See the animated image in the tab below.  Even more options are in the blueprints.)  Build it the way you want it.

Design options things to maximize utility and usefulness, while allowing trailer customizing for your unique needs.  Add sides, a top, or tailgate.  Extras like a motorcycle stand, a ramp, toolbox mounting, tie-down bars, and more.  These are all in the plans as choices for extra function with your 4×6 utility trailer.  Build the things you want, and skip the others.  Add your own ideas too, because it’s your trailer.

This design is strong as a flatbed, so if you don’t want the sides, that’s OK.  It’s strong enough without the sides.
