cargo trailer

A lot of the 6 x 10 and 6 x 12 ARE single axle and also have no brakes.

Thanks all- It is single axle (Pace American is the brand)-
I was able to remove the old plywood from the ramp and install 1/2" plywood- (had to use the self-tapping screws)- Looks and feels a bit more sturdy- I was able to ride my 46" riding mower up and down the ramp with no issues- it is an old trailer but on the tongue it states gross Vehicle weight is 2990lbs so I would think golf cart is ok (electric)- I may just put another layer of plywood over the original wood floor to give some added strength- (I would replace the whole floor but it looks like the outside walls sit directly on the floor which to me looks like a lot more work!

I don't know why everybody is assuming it has dual axles. The OP has not been back to comment on that.

All three of my son's landscape trailers (6x10 open; 6x10 enclosed; and 6x12 open) have single drop axles. GVWR is 1750 to 1825 pounds. the open trailers weigh about 500-600 pounds dry and the enclosed trailer is about 900.

Plenty of capacity for ZTR riding mowers but they will go through tires if you don't watch the inflation.

Golf carts run around 1000 lbs for the electric/battery types - a little lighter for gas. That means there is about 250 lbs sitting on each tire. As long as you dont exceed the axle or tire rating, you should be ok. Get a friend that is, how should I put this, burly? and have him jump up and down inside the trailer. If he doesnt fall through the floor, you will be ok!

I have a similar enclosed trailer. Since I got it used (and dirty), I put some work into it before it went into the fleet. First, I cleaned and painted the inside. I then put a new floor of bamboo over the original deck. I also welded a new steel angle piece by the door so that rain and such stay out. It still needs exterior paint and I'll get to that some day. The floors in these enclosed trailers are fairly good in stock form, the supporting frame allows for a lot of weight.

New floor:



New steel edge trim:

I'll assume that it's got two axles....usually something 10' would have them.
What brand is the trailer...hard to tell much about it from the pictures.
I doubt that you'll have any problems with the golf cart...as mentioned, they aren't all that heavy.
But....not knowing just how that tailgate is, you may want to carry some 2x8 planks to lay over the ramp, so that you drive up something a bit more substantial. My gate is steel, and fairly heavy, and smaller than that one, so I'm questioning it a bit too....but you can get those ramps that you would use for a lawntractor going into a pick-up (from Harbor Freight or HD)and avoid any weight on the back door/ramp.
If the floor is questionable, it's best to replace it. If it's bowed like you mentioned, it may be that the previous owner just laid down a sheet of plywood, and you can pick it up and check under it.
Replacing the floor isn't a huge job, but if you aren't handy, you may want to find someone to do it for you.
I replace the floor in my utility trailer last summer....while I was at it, I cleaned, wire brushed and painted the frame under the wood.

Biggest hassle with the golf card, may be getting in/out of the golf cart when it's in the trailer, so you may want to park to one side.

Good luck

I have a utility trailer that had the bottom about 50% rotted out, with sheet metal nailed over the top (I got it that way from my FIL). When DD borrowed it, she put her foot through the floor before realizing she had to step CAREFULLY.

The next spring I replaced all of the wood on it except the tailgate. When DD borrowed it again 6 months later, she was tiptoeing around on it till I quit laughing and told her I had replaced the floor. It was now safe to walk on.

Yes it will hold a golf cart. They are not that heavy. Unless of course it is rotted soft wood then of course it wouldn't in its current condition.
