Frequently Asked Questions about our 8x5 Single-Axle Cage Trailer Hire

What is the load capacity of the 8x5 single-axle cage trailer?
+ -

Our 8x5 single-axle trailer has a General Vehicle Mass (GVM) of 750kg, giving you a generous payload capacity of roughly 500kg. It’s the perfect lightweight option for moving furniture, clearing green waste, or doing a weekend tip run.

Do I need a heavy-duty vehicle to tow this trailer?
+ -

Not at all! Because it is a single-axle, unbraked trailer under 750kg, most standard sedans, SUVs, and station wagons equipped with a standard towbar can safely pull it. Just check your vehicle's unbraked towing capacity first.

Is the cage removable for taller or wider loads?
+ -

The 8x5 cage provides a secure 600mm high barrier, ideal for securing bulky items. If you have specific loading needs or require a flatbed setup, please let our team know at the time of booking so we can accommodate you and provide the appropriate trailer.

Can I use an 8x5 single-axle cage trailer for camping trips?
+ -

Absolutely! It’s fantastic for camping trips. . The 8x5 size easily fits tents, gazebos, eskies, and firewood.

Pro-tip: Because it’s an open cage trailer, we highly recommend wrapping your gear in a heavy-duty tarp and using occy straps or tie-downs to protect it from Melbourne’s unpredictable weather. We have straps, tie downs and tarps available for hire if required.

I’m not great at reversing. Is this trailer easy to manoeuvre?
+ -

Yes, this is our most forgiving trailer to tow. Because it’s a single-axle, it responds quickly to steering inputs and is lightweight enough that if you get stuck in a tight spot, you can easily unhitch it and wheel it around by hand on a flat surface.

Does the trailer have internal tie-down points to secure my load?
+ -

Yes, it features multiple heavy-duty tie-down points along the chassis. Whether you're securing a fridge or a load of green waste, you'll have plenty of secure anchor points to lock your straps into.
