7' Wide

You’ll find two different models for the 7x12 enclosed trailer - SA and TA. However, both our 7x14s and 7x16s come standard as tandem axles. As you might have guessed, “SA” stands for single axle and “TA” for tandem axle. 

In covering 7x12, 7x14, and 7x16 payload capacities, we actually have four different variations:

• 7x12 enclosed trailer single axle: 2,140 pounds
• 7x12 enclosed trailer tandem axle: 5,040 pounds
• 7x14 enclosed trailer tandem axle: 4,880 pounds
• 7x16 enclosed trailer tandem axle: 4,740 pounds

A 7x12 SA has one 3500-pound rated drop leaf spring axle while a 7x12TA will have two, 3500-pound rated drop leaf spring axles with braking systems on each axle.

Having a tandem axle 7x12 enclosed trailer more than doubles the payload capacity within the same-sized trailer footprint from 2,140 pounds with the single axle to an incredible 5,040 pounds with the tandem.

Our 7x16 trailers weigh in at right around 2,260 pounds. This is the empty weight aka the curb weight for the trailer and is an important weight to know as you haul cargo. Both your tow vehicle and your trailer have weight limits that promote safe operation.

You need to be aware of payload capacity, towing capacity, gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), and max tongue weight, among others. If you ever need clarification with trailer weights and measurements, you can always contact our team and a friendly associate will gladly take you through the numbers.

Absolutely. Now, as with any asset, properly maintaining your enclosed trailer is the best way to add years of useful life and prevent smaller issues from becoming major. With that said, sales for used enclosed cargo trailers are always hopping because so many different trades and individuals rely on these units.

Keep in mind, people are willing to pay good rates for used trailers that have been well maintained so when you go to purchase a new trailer from Renown you have that much more long term value for the investment being made.

The best 7’ wide enclosed trailer is going to be the one that best meets your needs for hauling cargo and also fits within your budget.

The 7x12 is a great trailer on the smaller size but the extra foot of room over a 6x12 really does make a difference you’ll feel. You can put more in a 7x12 than you’d think, especially when you see the massive 5,000+ pound payload capacity of a 7x12 tandem axle. 

Not to be left out, the 7x14s and 7x16s both definitely have their place. The 7x14 is a great middle-of-the-road trailer. Not too big, not too small, this cargo-carrying behemoth easily gets to the jobsite, ATV trails, or live event as a concessions trailer.

Bumping it up a notch to a 7x16 gives you a full two feet of extra length. That’s going to accommodate larger equipment and supply materials with ease. Perhaps it’s a race trailer for a prized show car or motorcycle. 

7x12 enclosed trailer TAs have a payload capacity of a whopping 5,040 pounds which means you can carry a heckuva lot of “toys” wherever they need to go. For example, a Honda Rancher 420 ATV weighs in at 580 pounds with standard equipment according to Honda’s powersports website.

At almost 4’ wide and 7’ long, you could easily fit this ATV onto a 7x12 and still have plenty of room for all your extra gear. Adding in some overhead cabinets and other storage is a customization option available on 7x12s which can really take them to the next level as your new go-to toy hauler.

When talking about the weight of an enclosed trailer, there is great variation in the weight of each trailer model and the options can change it drastically. For a single axle 7x14 enclosed trailer, the empty weight is going to be 1,520 pounds with a payload capacity of 1,980 pounds. 

When choosing the tandem axle option for a 7x14 enclosed trailer, there are several more options that will adjust the payload capacity. While the empty weight is going to be 2,120 pounds, you will have 3 different choices for axles which will change the payload capacity depending on your needs. With the 3,500 pound axles, you will have a payload capacity of 4,880 pounds, where the 5,200 pound axles will allow a payload capacity of 8,280, and the 7,000 pound axles will give you the payload capacity of 11,880 pounds. 

One of the most important things to know when looking at enclosed trailers is to understand the space (or volume) within the trailer you want. The exact volume of the space inside a 7x14 enclosed trailer is going to vary based on your options, but for the standard option of 73” interior height, wall-to-wall width of 80”, the 7x14 option is a fantastic middle option for both interior space and payload weight capacity. 

With numerous ways to increase the volume within your enclosed trailer, you can maximize the amount of equipment you can haul and your viable space within your trailer. By upgrading to options such as a higher ceiling, larger capacity axles, or other options, you can be certain that your equipment will fit perfectly inside your trailer.

There are numerous ways to customize your 7x14 enclosed trailer in order to get the perfect trailer for your needs. With options to upgrade and increase your interior height, the lights on the inside, options for upgrading your axle, exterior color choice, and metal type, the build of your trailer can be completely customized for you.
