Several of the respondents didn't actually read (or understand) what the OP is looking for. Someone says "I'm looking for "X"", and people respond that he should instead get "Y", even though "Y" is not even remotely similar to "X".
I have one of the folding trailers he is talking about, although mine was purchased many years ago through Northern Hydraulics. I have made a few modifications to make it easier to fold/unfold, and it is indeed doable by one person. When folded, it can be rolled (on the included casters) up against the wall in the garage and takes up very little space. On the other hand, when unfolded, it has a decent carrying capacity, and has served me well for everything to hauling 2 ATCs or 2 stand up PWCs, to making dump runs. I have used it for decades, and will likely never get rid of it simply because of it's utility combined with it's small footprint when stored. Another plus is that it's small footprint allows it to be stored inside the garage, out of the weather. Mine still has the original plywood that I installed in 1986, although I did put several layers of marine spar varnish on it to start with!!!
