Default need quick answer on trailer width..

im at work now and gotta head to school to take my exam, so i wont have time really to search a lot, but i wanted to know what the min. width is for a trailer for say an integra or civic. im going to the auction after my exams to take a look, and i dont have much time to go home and measure. and most of you guys have them. all i have is this pic.

2000 JIMC Trailer 1J9UE1226YF164028 34606 (N50320)


looks a bit short in the pic, but maybe its the way it was taken.

i also found this:
2002 Pace Trailer 4FPFB12292G060579 34608 (N50320)

thanks a lot

I built my trailer with a 6' wide deck. I wouldn't go any narrower than that, but I don't have any problems.

Keith, who likes to save weight...

I think that open trailer would be trouble for a Civic or Integra. Although width might be an issue and you would for sure need to climb out the window or the hatch with those very tall fenders. That big blade ramp will need to tilt up and not going to clear the back of the car. I doubt you will be able to fit a real car wheelbase on there and then the ramp will hit the car in the storage position. To clear the ramp, the car would be very far forward with monster tongue weight if it would even go on. I'm betting that open trailer is for a Bobcat, a trencher, a mower or something small with no overhang.

That box trailer looks like it is 14 or 16 ft. and might work but I would check the insoide dimensions. Note that the fenders are entirely outside the box so it will be narrow inside too. You won't have room for anything else that is not mounted high up front over the hood but this might work out. Again be ready to climb out through the hatch.
