Rear Ramp Door + 12" Extension
Loading a lowered muscle car or a pallet of gear off a job site shouldn't be a guessing game. The extended ramp is rated to the trailer's full 6,300 lb payload capacity, so you can walk vehicles and equipment aboard with a shallower, easier angle every time.
Low-Profile Deck
A steep ramp angle is what scrapes bumpers and stresses low-clearance cars. This trailer's low-profile deck sits closer to the ground than a standard-height unit, so classics, race cars, and ATVs load without the extra incline working against you.
E-Track Tie-Down System
Once everything's loaded, the last thing you want is cargo sliding around on the drive to Airdrie or out past Cochrane. E-Track running the length of both walls gives you virtually unlimited anchor points, so straps go exactly where your load needs them, not wherever the nearest hook happens to be.
Electric Brakes on Both Axles
Safety isn't negotiable when you're hauling a full load down Highway 2 or up into the foothills toward the Rockies. Both 5,200 lb axles run electric brakes tied to a controller in your tow vehicle, giving you real stopping power at highway speed, fully loaded.
Free 4,500 lb Winch
Not every load rolls on its own. A non-running quad, side-by-side, or stalled vehicle can still make it aboard, since the included winch does the pulling so you don't need extra hands on site.
GPS Tracking
Towing something this size across the province means knowing where it is matters. Every rental includes GPS tracking, so you always have a clear picture of the trailer's location, whether it's parked at a job site or three hours down the highway.
What fits in a 22 ft enclosed trailer?
Classic cars, race vehicles & ATVs
The 8.5-foot exterior width clears the doors and mirrors of most full-size trucks, SUVs, and classic cars, so there’s no squeezing through a narrow opening at the yard. The rear ramp, extended by 12 inches, gives lowered classics and race cars a gentler approach angle than a standard ramp. Once loaded, the E-Track system anchors your vehicle from multiple points along the wall, keeping it steady through crosswinds on the drive to Airdrie, Chestermere, or Okotoks. With 6,300 lbs of payload capacity, this trailer comfortably hauls one full-size vehicle or up to three motorcycles or ATVs at a time.
Moving a 3 to 4-Bedroom Home
Translating the space into real-world terms: 22 feet of length and a 7-foot interior height means you can stand up straight while stacking appliances, mattresses, and sectional sofas upright. That massive cubic footage easily swallows the contents of a large family home, saving you multiple trips back and forth across town. Use the wall-mounted E-Track to strap furniture tight against the walls, preventing shifting during transit.
Weather-Tight Transport for Bands, Festivals & Trade Shows
Alberta weather is unpredictable, but your cargo bay doesn’t have to be. The seamless aluminum roof design means a sudden thunderstorm in Red Deer won’t destroy thousands of dollars in audio gear or trade show displays. Combined with high-security dual locks on both the rear ramp and side-access doors, your valuable load stays dry and secure at the job site or overnight in a hotel parking lot.
Trailer Towing Specs & Hitch Requirements
Before you book, ensure your truck is ready to haul a 10,400 lb GVWR load safely.
Check off these mandatory towing requirements:
- Vehicle Size: A minimum 3/4-ton truck (e.g., F-250, Ram 2500, Chevy Silverado 2500) is strongly recommended to safely pull and stop this weight.
- Hitch & Ball: Requires a heavy-duty, frame-mounted Class IV or V receiver paired with a 2 5/16-inch ball.
- Wiring: A fully functional 7-way round electrical RV-style connection is mandatory.
- Braking: Your tow vehicle must have an active electronic in-cab brake controller installed, as this trailer utilizes dual-axle electric brakes.

The trailer comes with a built-in E-Track tie-down system along both walls. Confirm with our team when you book whether ratchet straps are available to add to your rental.
What size enclosed trailer for 3 motorcycles
An 8.5×22 ft enclosed trailer easily fits up to 3 motorcycles with room for gear, using the E-Track system to keep them secure.
Is insurance included, or do I need my own policy?
You’ll need your own insurance policy, and it has to cover a towed trailer at this weight. Confirm the coverage with your insurer before pickup so there are no surprises if anything happens on the road.
