Tilting Box Trailer | Max. 1000kg ATM | 2m x 1.2m (6.6ft x 4ft)
The most versatile Box Trailer is one you can manoeuvre into tight spots, tilt when needed and carry up to 750kg of cargo.
These trailer plans make it simple to build your own handy Box Trailer. No sheet metal folding required. They include part and assembly drawings showing every cut, hole and dimension – saving you time and money while building a trailer that will last.
The plans also include DXF files for all the plate and sheet metal parts so they can be laser cut if you prefer, although it is not necessary. All parts can be cut with an angle grinder. Even though this is a basic build, it still comes with all dimensions for components and complete cutting and part lists to ensure you get the best trailer on completion. While working in the shed, you may want hard copies of the plans for reference – simply print them to A3 or A4 size.
If you are looking for a small trailer for cleaning up the yard or your first DIY project, rest assured that by the end of the build you will have a quality-built trailer that is engineered to meet road safety standards and regulations.

Great detailed plans. Very easy to follow.
Although I haven’t started the project I have thoroughly gone through the plans. For me printing to A3 made them easier to read. I will be going into this project with complete confidence.
