MEB 82" x 18' 7K Car Hauler with 2' Dovetail and Slide-In Ramps

This MEB 7,000 lb GVWR Car Hauler is built for vehicles, compact equipment, landscaping machinery, building materials, and other everyday hauling applications.

The trailer combines a 16' flat deck with a 2' dovetail for a full 18' of usable deck length, with approximately 82" of deck width between the fenders.

Tandem 3,500 lb axles, a treated wood deck, slide-in loading ramps, treadplate fenders, stake pockets, and a full-wrap tongue give this trailer a strong, practical setup for regular hauling.

16' Flat Deck + 2' Dovetail

The main cargo surface consists of a 16' flat deck followed by a 2' dovetail, creating a total usable deck length of approximately 18'.

The dovetail helps reduce the transition angle at the rear of the trailer, making it easier to load vehicles and equipment onto the deck.

This layout works well for:

• Cars
• Compact tractors
• ATVs and UTVs
• Lawn equipment
• Landscaping machinery
• Small construction equipment
• Building materials
• General equipment hauling

Approximately 82" Wide Deck

The trailer provides approximately 82" of usable deck width between the fenders.

That gives you nearly 7' of working width for vehicles and equipment while keeping the trailer within a conventional bumper-pull car-hauler footprint.

Before loading a vehicle or machine, always verify its tire-to-tire or track width against the available deck width.

Tandem 3,500 lb Axles

This MEB rides on two 3,500 lb capacity axles for a combined 7,000 lb GVWR.

The tandem-axle design provides greater stability and load support than a comparable single-axle utility trailer.

Weight Ratings

• GVWR: 7,000 lbs
• Trailer Weight: Approximately 2,000 lbs
• Approximate Payload Capacity: 5,000 lbs
• Axle Capacity: 3,500 lbs each

Actual allowable cargo capacity should always be confirmed using the trailer's VIN and certification plate.

Electric Brakes

The trailer is equipped with electric brakes on the rear axle.

That provides trailer-assisted braking through a compatible tow vehicle and brake controller.

The source configuration lists brakes on one axle, with a second braked axle available separately depending on trailer setup.

Heavy-Duty 3" x 5" Channel Main Frame

The main trailer frame uses heavy-duty 3" x 5" channel construction.

Channel steel provides the structural backbone needed for vehicle and equipment hauling while supporting concentrated loads across the trailer deck.

Full-Wrap Tongue

A heavy-duty full-wrap tongue extends back into the trailer frame rather than terminating near the front crossmember.

This design helps distribute towing forces through more of the trailer structure and adds strength at one of the highest-stress areas of the chassis.

Treated Wood Deck

The trailer uses 2" treated wood decking for the main cargo surface.

Treated lumber provides:

• Useful tire traction
• A durable work surface
• Straightforward maintenance
• Replaceable individual boards
• Good versatility for vehicles, equipment, and materials

48" Slide-In Loading Ramps

The trailer includes heavy-duty 48" loading ramps.

Each ramp measures approximately:

• 13" wide
• 48" long

The ramps slide into under-deck storage when not in use, keeping them secured and out of the cargo area during transport.

2' Dovetail

The rear 2' dovetail works with the loading ramps to reduce the overall approach angle onto the trailer.

That makes loading easier for vehicles and equipment with:

• Lower ground clearance
• Longer wheelbases
• Smaller tires
• Limited breakover clearance

Double-Break Treadplate Fenders

The tandem wheels are covered by double-break steel treadplate fenders.

The treadplate construction adds strength and durability around an area that regularly sees mud, gravel, debris, and equipment traffic.

Stake Pockets

Stake pockets are positioned approximately every two feet along both sides of the trailer.

These provide flexible points for securing cargo and can also support compatible removable side structures or other hauling accessories.

Front Safety Bump Rail

A steel safety bump rail runs across the front of the deck.

This creates a physical stop at the forward edge of the cargo area and helps define the usable deck space when positioning vehicles or equipment.

2,000 lb Tongue Jack

A 2,000 lb tongue jack is mounted approximately 12" back from the hitch area.

The setback position helps keep the jack accessible while reducing interference around the coupler and tow vehicle.

2" Ball Coupler

The trailer uses a heavy-duty 2" ball coupler for a conventional bumper-pull connection.

Heavy-duty safety chains are included as part of the towing setup.

15" Trailer Tires and Steel Wheels

The trailer rides on ST205/75R15 trailer tires mounted on steel wheels.

The tandem running gear uses 5-lug hubs.

DOT Lighting and Sealed Wiring

The trailer includes full DOT lighting and a sealed wiring harness designed to protect electrical connections from moisture, dirt, and road exposure.

A standard 7-round electrical plug connects the trailer lighting and brake system to a compatible tow vehicle.
