Sounds like a nice project, but you can buy any number of 7’W x 10’ L cargo trailers. Single or actually tandem axle, even on a short trailer. Height can be ordered taller.
There are many trailers out there that will fit your dimensional preferences very close.
Unless you’re hung up on the exactly 74” interior width which is silly. 7’ trailers are about 80” wide inside.
Again, great project, but not practical from a time and $ standpoint with so many mass produced options available that will fit the Bill.
Depends.
Typical "7ft" wide trailers are measured at the outside dimensions, to get enough inside dimension that the OP wants, the deck will need to be OVER TOP of the wheels in order to Maintain a wide enough FLAT floor. That would mean the deck height will be considerably higher than what the OP wanted in order to have a flat floor (no wheel wells inside).
OP would have to go with a 8' or 8.5' trailer width with drop axles in order to get a wide enough flat deck between the wheels and that would get them the lower deck height.
So in reality OP would need to be looking at 8' or 8.5' x 10ft enclosed trailers with 80" or higher height.. Not exactly a common height dimension.
Found a 8x10 trailer
HERE which gives enough flat floor space width between wheel wells of 81" but falls short on the interior height at 6' 7" (79") and door height of 5' 11" (71").
