For an enclosed trailer rental in McKinney, choose the 12-foot for a compact load, the 16-foot when you need more usable floor space and height, or the 20-foot when width and loading room matter. Measure your largest item and check your loaded towing weight before booking. Door clearance can be smaller than the advertised cargo dimensions.
Compare the 12-, 16- and 20-foot enclosed trailers
| Trailer | Listed cargo size | GVWR | Approx. payload |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12-foot | 12 × 6 × 6.6 ft | 7,000 lb | 5,000 lb |
| 16-foot | 16 × 7 × 7 ft | 7,000 lb | 5,400 lb |
| 20-foot Outback DLX | 20 × 8.5 ft | 9,900 lb | 6,200 lb |
GVWR is the maximum permitted weight of the loaded trailer. Payload is the cargo weight the trailer can carry within its rating. The product pages list empty weights of about 2,000 pounds for the 12-foot and 3,700 pounds for the 20-foot. Confirm door and ramp clearances, wheel-well spacing and the trailer’s data-label ratings if your load is a close fit.
12-foot enclosed trailer for a small move or a motorcycle
Start here for boxes, several pieces of furniture, a motorcycle or a compact set of tools. The smaller footprint can be easier to position in a tight driveway. The rear ramp helps with rolling loads, and the listing includes E-Track, ratchet straps, movable anchors, motorcycle wheel chocks and a spare tire. Check availability and reserve the 12-foot trailer.
16-foot enclosed trailer for more floor space
Choose the 16-foot if you need room for appliances, furniture and boxes in the same load, or more clearance around a compatible ATV or rolling equipment. The listed 7-foot cargo height helps with upright items, but measure the door before assuming they will pass through. It has a rear ramp, E-Track, straps, movable anchors, motorcycle wheel chocks and a spare. Check availability and reserve the 16-foot trailer.
20-foot Outback DLX for wider or bulkier loads
Consider the 20-foot for large furniture, several rolling items or a jobsite load that needs more room for tie-downs. It has a rear ramp, wall and floor E-Track, an installed loading winch and an accessory kit with straps, anchors and chocks. For a vehicle or UTV, verify opening width, wheel-well spacing, ramp rating and total load weight with the rental team. Check availability and reserve the 20-foot Outback DLX.
Protect your cargo and keep it from shifting
An enclosed trailer helps protect furniture, tools and boxes from weather and road debris. The walls also keep the contents out of sight during stops. Use rated straps and fittings with the installed E-Track, and choose anchor points that restrain movement in every direction. Chocks help position wheels and should be used with appropriate restraints. Follow the rating of the weakest component in each tie-down arrangement. A loading winch does not replace transport restraints.
Make sure your vehicle can tow the loaded trailer
All three listings call for a 2-5/16-inch hitch ball. Confirm the 7-way connection and a working electric trailer-brake controller with the rental team. Compare your expected loaded trailer weight with your vehicle’s tow rating, and check truck payload, tongue weight and hitch ratings together. Allow for passengers and gear in the tow vehicle. Review the trailer rental and towing requirements and ask for help matching the trailer to your vehicle if you’re unsure.
Enclosed trailer rental FAQs
Should I rent by room count?
Use an inventory instead. Measure large items, sketch their floor space and allow room for straps and loading. Room count alone can be misleading when appliances or bulky furniture are involved.
Can I haul a motorcycle or ATV?
Check its loaded weight, door clearance and ramp rating. Ask which chocks and straps are available for your model and how to use them before leaving.
What if I need to move soil or demolition debris?
Read our dump trailer sizing guide for help estimating weight and choosing a trailer for loose materials.
