1.8m Single Axle Closed Body Trailer

What the 1.8m luggage trailer is built to carry

The load box is 1805 mm long and 1135 mm wide inside with 640 mm sides, which is a great deal deeper than a conventional luggage trailer of the same footprint. Depth is what lets a camping fridge, folded chairs, a rolled tent and stacked crates travel in one layer instead of three. Ahead of the body a 650 mm nosecone takes the small awkward items. Overall the trailer measures 2750 mm long, 1575 mm wide and 1250 mm high, with 300 mm of clearance to the bottom of the axle and 195 by 14 inch five stud wheels underneath.

Published specifications

These figures are the manufacturer specification for the 1.8m luggage trailer, quoted as published.

The four configurations we list

• Base trailer, 280 kg tare, overall height 1250 mm.
• Steel roofrack, published at the same 280 kg tare, overall height 1350 mm with 820 mm of side height.
• Cycle rack, published at the same 280 kg tare, overall height 1255 mm.
• Extension frame, priced by the manufacturer but published with no specification block of any kind.

Read that fitment list carefully, because it is unusual. The manufacturer publishes 280 kg of tare for the base trailer, the steel roofrack build and the cycle rack build alike, which means the published legal payload stays at 470 kg across all three. A rack does have mass in the real world, so weigh the trailer before you load to the limit. The extension frame configuration has no published tare, gross vehicle mass or dimensions at all, and we will not invent them for it.

Payload, mass and staying road legal

Gross vehicle mass is 750 kg and tare is 280 kg, giving 470 kg of legal payload. That 750 kg figure is significant: it is the point at which a trailer must be braked, so this model sits exactly on the line rather than over it. The manufacturer does not publish a brakes line for the luggage trailer, so if you intend to load right to the rating, ask us to confirm the braking arrangement in writing before you order. The requirements sit in the National Road Traffic Act, and your licence class is a question for the Act and your testing station.

How it compares with its stablemates

Set against the GTE 7 luggage trailer, the luggage trailer is 80 kg heavier, deeper in the body, rated 50 kg higher and rides on 14 inch wheels instead of 13. It costs more and it earns that. The 2.1m luggage trailer adds 300 mm of floor for the same tare and rating. Everything in the family is listed on our single axle closed body trailers page.

Carried on every configuration

• Body of zinc galvanised sheet steel, over 500 mm deep.
• Nosecone of 650 mm for additional enclosed storage.
• Gas assisted flip up lid and a wide rear tailgate for loading.
• Two fold away extension legs for stability when parked.
• Eight ring holders inside for tying the load down.
• Spare wheel, adjustable jockey wheel and multi function LED lighting.

What the manufacturer does not publish

We are a retailer and we quote the manufacturer specification rather than our own. For the extension frame configuration that specification is simply absent, and for the racked configurations the tare is published as unchanged. Both are worth confirming before you commit to a load plan. Ask us and we will take the question to the factory in writing.
