Description
Description
An excellent higher capacity tandem axle trailer in 6′ width. At 14′ length, this trailer is the right size for many people. It’s not max legal width (we have those also), but it’s wide enough, and it doesn’t clip so many curbs in tight spaces. We tried to discontinue these plans because they have a lot of overlap with the 6’10” wide one, but these remain a popular seller, so we are keeping them. The plans are great, so if this is the size you’re looking for, please enjoy them.
If you’re looking for a 6×14 tandem axle trailer, build one with these plans. It’s a HD utility trailer designed and fully engineered from the start as a workhorse. From these plans you can build a strong trailer designed for continual heavy duty use. A lighter option is the 6′ x 14′ x 7000#.

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.
