What are the benefits of owning a RedTrailer?
    hub with grease fitting
  1. All RedTrailer hubs have a grease fitting in the back of the hub for easy lubrication.

  2. This model has three-leaf axle springs for better suspension (most similar trailers have two-leaf axle springs).

  3. RedTrailer couplers are mounted on square steel tubing, not a flat metal plate — that's an important safety feature.

  4. RedTrailers have a center support beam that is 48" x 2-1/2" x 2" with two 18" support brackets, for greater stability and safety.

  5. Every RedTrailer comes with a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO) so that you can easily get a license plate for your trailer. Some companies don't provide this very important document.
RedTrailer kits are easy to assemble!
  • A few end wrenches, a pair of pliers and a screwdriver are all that's needed.

  • RedTrailers have pre-drilled holes on the top of the frame rails to attach flooring material.

  • In most cases, assembly can be completed in approximately 2 hours.
What Makes RedTrailers Better?

Many people visit our website, then tell us that they've seen "the same trailers" for sale elsewhere on the Internet – at lower prices.

Well, to put it simply, they've been fooled!

It's true that there are similar trailers available elsewhere, but don't make the mistake of thinking that all folding utility trailers are the same!

RedTrailers are uniquely designed and manufactured to our exact specifications. So if you're buying a folding trailer kit, make sure that it's a genuine RedTrailers brand trailer.

Here's how you can spot the difference:


Notice the difference in the tongue design. RedTrailers have a center tongue support tube that provides greater strength (and greater safety) while towing. The RedTrailers coupler is securely mounted to the end of the 50-inch steel support tube, while the "Brand X" coupler is simply bolted to a lightweight flat metal plate.

And beware ... some unscrupulous vendors have been known to include pictures of RedTrailers in their advertisements, even though they're not selling genuine RedTrailers! So before you purchase one of their "bargain" trailers, be sure to inquire about the tongue design!

RedTrailers also come complete with a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO) that simplifies the process of registering the trailer for use on the road. Without the MCO, many states require an elaborate certification process that can delay the registration of your trailer by weeks, or even months!

Don't forget that we also carry a full line of replacement parts for your RedTrailer, and a wide variety of other parts and accessories, too!

    3. Fold the rear of the trailer over onto the front.

    4. Tilt the trailer onto the storage casters.

    5. Remove the crossmember bolt and fold down the tongue.
