What size trailer do I need?

Trailer size depends on what you're hauling. Small car trailers suit garden waste or light equipment, while larger box or tipper trailers handle bulkier loads. Consider the dimensions and weight of your typical cargo, plus your towing vehicle's capacity, before choosing the right size trailer for your needs.

How much weight can a trailer carry?

A trailer's weight capacity, or ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass), varies by design and axle configuration. Single axle trailers generally carry lighter loads, while dual axle trailers handle heavier weights. Always check the compliance plate for exact ratings and never exceed the manufacturer's specified limits.

What safety features should a trailer have?

Essential safety features include working tail lights, indicators, reflectors, a licence plate holder and a compliant coupling. Larger trailers often need brakes and breakaway systems. Always check tyre condition, wheel bearings and load restraints before towing to ensure safe, legal operation on the road.

Not sure which trailer is right for you? It comes down to what you're hauling and how often. For light loads like garden waste, mowers or small equipment, a car trailer is ideal. Bigger jobs usually call for box trailers with ramps for easy access. Tradies and farmers often prefer flat top single axle trailers for versatility or manual tipper trailers with rear loading ramps for quick, easy unloading.

Need serious capacity? We have a range of LoadMaxx trailers to choose from. Still unsure what suits your needs? Our team at Connect Trailers and Towing is happy to help you choose.
