Top 6x14 Single Axle Utility Trailers: Weight Capacity & Pricing 

1. Aluma 7814S-BT 78" x 14' Single Axle Utility Bi-Fold Tailgate

The Aluma 7814S-BT 78" x 14' is the closest match to a true 6x14, measuring 6 ft 6 in wide by 14 ft long. It runs an extruded aluminum floor and a 48 in A-framed aluminum tongue, and the bi-fold aluminum tailgate measures 77.5 in by 60 in and folds flat to cut wind drag on the return trip.

Weight Capacity

Empty weight is 725 lbs against a 2,990 lb GVWR, which leaves 2,265 lbs of payload, the highest figure in the class. The deck rides on ST205/75R14 LRC radials rated at 1,760 lbs per tire.

Pricing

Cash price is $5,788 against a $7,279 retail price. The frame carries a 5-year structural warranty.

2. Maxx-D S3X8314 83" x 14' Heavy Single Axle Utility

The Maxx-D S3X8314 83" x 14' is the heaviest single-axle option in the 14 ft class. The deck runs 6 ft 11 in wide over a 2x3x3/16 in angle frame with a 2x8 treated wood floor, and a 4 ft spring-assist fold gate handles walk-behind mowers, pallets, and skid loads without a separate ramp set.

Weight Capacity

GVWR is 5,200 lbs on a single 5,200 lb axle, with 1,665 lbs of listed payload. Tires are ST225/75R15 8-ply radials, sized to match the axle rating rather than the deck length. Crews running heavy point loads size up to this build; landscapers moving a zero-turn plus hand tools stay comfortable in the 2,990 lb class.

Diamond C PSA135 83" x 14’ has a 6 ft 11 in steel deck on a 4 in channel frame with 2 in channel crossmembers on 24 in centers. The 48 in bi-fold tailgate keeps load height low for compact equipment.

Weight Capacity

GVWR is 3,500 lbs with 1,550 lbs of payload, the lowest usable figure among the six. It rides on ST235/75R15 radials with six-hole black aluminum wheels.

Pricing

Price is $3,998 cash, marked down from $5,495 retail.

4. Load Trail SE8314 83" x 14' Single Axle Utility

Load Trail SE8314 83" x 14' is built on a heavy-duty angle iron frame with a treated wood floor and a 2 ft dovetail. The 3 ft spring-assist fold gate cuts lift effort on repeat loading, which matters on daily landscaping routes.

Weight Capacity

GVWR is 3,000 lbs with 1,651 lbs of payload on a 1,349 lb empty weight. The steel deck accounts for the difference between this figure and the aluminum builds in the same rating band.

Pricing

Cash price sits at $3,488 against $4,495 retail, the lowest entry point in the class.

The Load Trail SE8314 carries a 3,000 lb GVWR with a treated wood floor and spring-assist gate starting at $3,488.

5. Aluma UTR14S-R 78" x 14' UTV Trailer Single Axle

The Aluma UTR14S-R runs the same 6 ft 6 in extruded aluminum deck as the 7814S-BT, set up for side-by-sides rather than open cargo. A 24 in rock guard with a built-in storage box sits at the front, and solid 7.5 in sides carry a slider channel for tie-down positioning.

Weight Capacity

GVWR is 2,990 lbs with 1,990 lbs of payload on a 1,000 lb empty weight, which covers a full-size UTV plus a fuel can and toolbox. The 3,500 lb rubber torsion axle is de-rated to 2,990 lbs and ships without brakes, riding on ST205/75R14 LRC radials rated at 1,760 lbs per tire.

Pricing

The cash figure is $5,634, against $7,043 retail. It is the cheapest Aluma build in this list, though the rock guard and ramp hardware add 275 lbs of empty weight compared to the 7814S-BT.

6. Aluma 7814TILT-S 78" x 14' Tilt Single Axle Aluminum Utility

The 7814TILT-S puts the same 6 ft 6 in aluminum deck on a 12.5-degree tilt frame, so zero-turns and compact tractors drive straight on without ramp handling. A hydraulic dampener with gas lift controls the deck as it returns to level. Front and side retaining rails, six stake pockets, and four tie-down loops secure the load. 

Weight Capacity

Empty weight is 765 lbs against a 2,990 lb GVWR, leaving 2,225 lbs of payload, second only to the 7814S-BT. It shares the de-rated 3,500 lb torsion axle and ST205/75R14 LRC radials used across the Aluma 14 ft range.

Pricing

It prices at $5,791 cash, reduced from $6,953 retail.

The Aluma 7814TILT-S uses a 12.5-degree tilt deck to eliminate ramp handling, carrying up to 2,225 lbs of payload.

6x14 Single Axle Utility Trailers: Summary Table

Matching a 6x14 Utility Trailer to Your Load with Poplar Bluff Trailer

The right build comes down to what you haul most days. Aluminum gives more usable payload on a lighter frame, steel takes abrasive loads and carries a higher axle rating, and the loading style, whether tilt, fold gate, or pull-out ramp, decides how easily your equipment gets on the deck.

We keep various 6x14 Utility Trailer builds on our Poplar Bluff, Missouri lot, so you can weigh an aluminum deck against a steel one in person instead of guessing from a brochure. We handle financing online, and most buyers drive off within a few days. Check our live utility trailer inventory to lock in the build that matches your load.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can a half-ton truck tow a 14 ft single axle utility trailer?

Yes. A 14 ft single axle utility trailer loaded to a 2,990 lb or 3,500 lb GVWR sits well inside the tow rating of most half-ton pickups. Aluminum builds with a 725 lb empty weight leave the most payload headroom for the truck itself.

Do 6x14 single axle utility trailers need trailer brakes?

Most 14 ft single axle models ship without brakes because the axle is de-rated to 2,990 lbs, which falls under the braking threshold in many states. Heavier single axle builds rated at 5,200 lbs are a different case, so confirm your state rule before towing.

How much does a 6x14 utility trailer weigh empty?

Empty weight ranges roughly from 725 lbs for an aluminum deck up to 1,349 lbs for a steel deck with a dovetail. That difference transfers directly into usable payload, which is why aluminum models carry more cargo at a lower GVWR.

Is steel or aluminum better for a 14 ft single axle utility trailer?

Steel handles abrasive loads such as gravel, brush, and broken concrete, and repairs easily with a welder. Aluminum resists corrosion from road salt, tows lighter, and holds resale value well. The right pick depends on load type and how many road miles the trailer sees.
