Shop 7×16 Enclosed Cargo Trailers
A 7×16 enclosed trailer offers a versatile combination of cargo space, maneuverability and towing practicality. It is a popular size for contractors, landscapers, motorcycle owners, equipment hauling, mobile work setups and general cargo use.
Southern Trailer Depot offers 7×16 enclosed cargo trailers in multiple configurations, with available upgrades and custom-build options depending on the customer’s intended use.
Why Choose a 7×16 Enclosed Trailer?
The 7×16 size provides considerably more cargo room than smaller enclosed trailers while maintaining a narrower body than an 8.5-foot-wide trailer.
Depending on configuration, a 7×16 can work well for:
- Contractor tools and equipment
- Lawn and landscaping equipment
- Motorcycles
- ATVs and recreational equipment
- Mobile workshops
- Construction equipment
- Business inventory and deliveries
- General-purpose cargo hauling
Customers who need additional width for vehicles, larger equipment or wider cargo should also compare an 8.5-foot-wide enclosed trailer before purchasing.
7×16 Trailer Dimensions
Our 7×16 guide uses the following useful reference dimensions:
- Nominal trailer size: 7’ × 16’
- Interior width: approximately 80″
- Cargo-floor length: approximately 15’9″ plus V-nose
- Rear opening clear width: approximately 75″
- Rear opening clear height: approximately 69″ on the referenced configuration
- Overall length: approximately 19’6″ on the referenced configuration
Actual dimensions can vary by manufacturer, model, roof height, door configuration and other specifications. Customers should verify the measurements of the specific trailer before purchase.
Choose the Right Axle Package
The correct axle package depends on the trailer configuration, cargo weight and intended use.
Available 7×16 configurations may include different axle capacities and GVWR ratings. Buyers should consider the weight of everything that will be carried in the trailer—not simply the trailer’s dimensions.
Heavier equipment, permanent interior installations, generators, cabinets, electrical systems and other upgrades can reduce available payload. Compare axle capacity and GVWR using our trailer weight, GVWR and payload guide, or review our trailer axle guide for more on choosing the right axle package.
