8' Wide Trailers

The 8-foot-wide enclosed trailer is the step between the standard 7-foot builds and the full 8.5-foot commercial and race-hauler range. At 8 feet wide, you gain meaningful interior clearance over a 7-foot build — useful for oversized equipment loads or cargo that needs extra room on each side — while keeping a slightly narrower footprint than an 8.5-foot trailer. Most buyers at this width are either moving up from a 7-foot build that’s proving too narrow, or stepping into specialty cargo that demands the extra clearance.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Q1 – What’s the difference between an 8-foot and an 8.5-foot-wide trailer?
      Six inches of interior width — which sounds small but matters on a race hauler or car carrier where you’re loading something within a few inches of the wall. The 8.5-foot width is the industry standard for enclosed car haulers and race trailers because it comfortably fits a full-width vehicle with walking room on each side. If you’re building a car hauler or race rig, go 8.5 feet.
      Q2 – Is an 8-foot-wide trailer legal on all roads?
      An 8-foot-wide trailer (96 inches) is within the legal limit for most US highways without a permit — the standard limit is 8.5 feet (102 inches). At 8 feet you’re compliant on interstate and most state roads without special permitting. Always check local regulations for your specific state and route, particularly for agricultural roads or local ordinances.
      Q3 – Who typically buys an 8-foot-wide trailer?
      Buyers who need more interior clearance than a 7-foot build but don’t need the full car-hauler width of an 8.5-foot trailer — think oversized landscaping equipment, certain UTVs, or specialty cargo builds. If you’re hauling a full-size car or building a race trailer, the 8.5-foot range is the right call. For most everyday cargo, the 7-foot range is more than enough.
