What Size Enclosed Trailer Do You Need

Start with two things: the volume of the load and the height of the tallest item going in. Floor space gets most of the attention, but ceiling clearance is what determines whether a refrigerator, tall wardrobe, or upright piece of equipment actually fits inside. A 5x8 provides 40 square feet of floor space and suits compact loads. A 6x12 covers the majority of one to two-bedroom moves and single-trade tool setups. The 7x14 and 7x16 handle larger households and any load where height clearance is a real consideration.

When in doubt between two sizes, it is usually better to go slightly larger. A trailer with a little extra room is easier to load efficiently than one where everything is a tight squeeze. Big Rentals has enclosed trailer rentals in Irving across the full size range.
