14×6 Trailer for Sale | Extra-Long, Wide Trailers for Heavy Loads

What Is a 14×6 Trailer?

A 14×6 trailer is a long, wide-deck trailer designed for transporting oversized, heavy, or extended loads that require both additional length and width. With a 6-foot (1829 mm) internal width and extended deck length, it is commonly used for machinery, vehicles, commercial equipment, and large-scale transport tasks.

 

A 14×6 trailer for sale is typically chosen when smaller platforms such as 10×6 or 12×6 trailers no longer provide enough deck space or load balance. At Roshar Trailers, this size is often selected by construction contractors, transport operators, and businesses moving long or bulky equipment across Melbourne and Victoria.

Buyers researching 14×6 trailers usually prioritise stability, compliance, and long-term durability for regular heavy-duty use.

 

What Is a 14×6 Trailer Designed For?

A trailer 14×6 is designed for applications where length matters just as much as width. Typical uses include:

• Long machinery and plant equipment
• Vehicles and commercial transport loads
• Oversized materials and building components
• High-volume freight or equipment transport

Many buyers upgrade to this size after using 12×6 trailers, while others compare it with 10×6 trailers when deciding how much deck length is required.

Construction	Excavators, scaffolding	14×6 plant trailer

14×6 Trailer Dimensions Explained Clearly

One of the most common buyer questions relates to 14×6 trailer dimensions.

Typical internal measurements are:

• Internal length: approximately 4267 mm
• Internal width: approximately 1829 mm

The extended deck length allows long equipment to sit fully within the trailer, improving weight distribution and towing stability.

14×6 Trailer Size & Load Overview

Feature	Typical Specification
Internal Dimensions	4267 mm (L) × 1829 mm (W)  approximately
Axle Options	Tandem axle or dual axle
Common ATM Range	2000 kg – 3500 kg
Braking	Hydraulic or electric brakes
Typical Applications	Machinery, vehicles, commercial loads

Actual capacity depends on axle configuration, braking system, and accessories.

Payload Note:

While many 14×6 trailers are rated up to 3,500kg ATM, the usable payload depends on the trailer’s tare weight. A heavy-duty tandem axle 14×6 trailer may weigh 800–1,000kg, leaving approximately 2,500–2,700kg for cargo. Always factor in trailer weight when selecting a configuration.

 

Axle, Wheels, and Rims for 14×6 Trailers

Due to their size and load capacity, most 14×6 trailers are built with tandem or dual axle configurations. Choosing the correct wheels and 14×6 trailer rim setup is critical for load rating, tyre wear, and safe towing.

Heavy-duty rims matched to axle ratings help ensure compliance, durability, and long-distance reliability under full load.

 

14×6 Trailer Configuration Options

The 14×6 platform supports a range of specialised builds:

• 14×6 enclosed trailer – secure, weather-protected transport
• 14×6 flat top trailer – oversized or irregular items
• 14×6 plant trailer – machinery and construction equipment
• 14×6 box trailer – enclosed general-purpose transport
• 14×6 cage trailer – bulky but lightweight loads

Buyers comparing layouts often review flat top trailers, enclosed trailers, or plant trailers depending on access, protection, and unloading requirements.

 

Why Choose a 14×6 Trailer?

A 14×6 trailer is chosen for maximum usable deck space without stepping into custom over-dimensional builds. The longer deck improves load placement, reduces overhang, and increases stability when towing long or heavy cargo.

Compared with 12×6 trailers, the additional length allows greater flexibility for machinery, vehicles, and commercial transport. Some users also compare this size with 10×6 trailers when storage or towing capacity is limited.

 

Built for Australian Conditions and Compliance

All 14×6 trailers are built to meet VSB1 (Vehicle Standards Bulletin 1) requirements and comply with the Road Vehicle Standards Act (RVSA). Each trailer is supplied with a VIN and pre-entered into the Register of Approved Vehicles (RAV) for straightforward registration through VicRoads.

Braking systems are fitted according to ATM to ensure legal compliance, safety, and insurance eligibility across Victoria and Australia.

 

Local and Commercial Use Across Victoria

14×6 trailers are commonly used across Melbourne and regional Victoria, particularly in construction, transport, and industrial applications where long or oversized loads are routine. Their stability and capacity make them suitable for both metro and regional hauling.

 

Internal Size Comparisons

Depending on towing capacity, storage space, and load length, buyers may also compare:

• 12×6 trailers for slightly shorter loads
• 10×6 trailers when deck length is less critical
• Custom-built trailers for specialised transport needs

 

Conclusion

A 14×6 trailer for sale offers extended deck length, wide load support, and heavy-duty capability for demanding transport tasks. With multiple configuration options and compliant braking systems, it is a reliable solution for commercial, industrial, and machinery transport.
