Need a 16×6’6 box car carrier trailer for transporting vehicles while maintaining the added containment of box sides?

Roshar Trailers offers a purpose-built car carrier configuration for car enthusiasts, workshops, motorsport operators, dealerships and commercial users who need a long vehicle-transport platform with raised sides.

The 16×6’6 footprint provides useful length and width for vehicle transport, while the box-style body differentiates this model from Roshar’s flat and beaver-tail car carrier configurations.

A box car carrier combines a vehicle-transport trailer platform with raised side panels around the load area.

Unlike an enclosed trailer, the vehicle remains open to the weather. The box sides instead provide additional edge containment around the deck and can make the trailer useful for customers who carry vehicles along with tools, tyres or suitable equipment.

This configuration can suit:

• project and classic cars
• workshop vehicle transport
• motorsport and race-car support
• vehicle collection and delivery
• dealership transport
• restoration projects
• trade and commercial vehicle movement

The vehicle’s dimensions, operating mass and ground clearance must be checked against the completed trailer configuration before transport.

16×6’6 Platform for Vehicle Transport

The extended 16×6’6 car carrier platform provides room for many passenger vehicles and project cars while allowing the load to be positioned correctly on the trailer.

The extra width compared with narrower trailer platforms can also provide useful clearance around the vehicle during loading and restraint.

Before selecting the trailer, confirm:

• vehicle overall length
• vehicle width
• operating mass
• wheelbase
• ground clearance
• front and rear overhang
• tyre track width
• towing vehicle capacity

Physical fit alone does not confirm that a vehicle can be legally or appropriately carried. Available payload and the completed trailer rating must also be considered.

Why Choose the Box Configuration?

Roshar offers Box, Flat and Beaver Tail car carrier configurations, each serving a different transport requirement.

The Box Car Carrier is suited to customers who want raised sides around the vehicle deck rather than a completely open flat platform.

The box body can also provide a practical base for customers carrying suitable motorsport, workshop or vehicle-support equipment alongside the transported vehicle.

Loading and Vehicle Access

Loading access is one of the most important considerations when choosing a car carrier.

The correct ramp arrangement depends on the vehicle’s:

• ground clearance
• wheelbase
• approach and departure angles
• tyre width
• operating mass

Lower vehicles may require a different loading approach from SUVs, project vehicles or higher-clearance cars.

The final ramp design and loading arrangement should therefore be confirmed against the specific vehicle being transported.

Transporting a Lower Vehicle?

Customers who require a reduced rear loading angle should also compare the 16×6’6 Beaver Tail Car Carrier Trailer.

Vehicle Restraint and Load Positioning

A car carrier should provide appropriate locations for securing the transported vehicle.

The restraint method needs to suit the vehicle, trailer and applicable transport requirements. Vehicle positioning also affects tow-ball load and overall trailer balance, so the car should not simply be placed wherever it physically fits.

Before towing, confirm that:

• the vehicle is positioned correctly
• suitable restraint equipment is used
• restraint points are appropriate for the load
• the trailer remains within its rated mass
• the towing vehicle remains within its applicable ratings

Roshar can discuss the intended vehicle and trailer configuration during quotation.

Box vs Flat vs Beaver Tail Car Carrier

Choosing between the three 16×6’6 car carrier layouts depends primarily on the vehicle and loading requirements.

16×6’6 Box Car Carrier

Choose the box configuration when you want raised side panels around the vehicle deck and additional containment for suitable equipment or materials.

16×6’6 Flat Car Carrier

A flat car carrier provides more open access around the deck and can suit customers who prioritise straightforward side access and an unrestricted platform.

Compare the 16×6’6 Flat Car Carrier Trailer.

16×6’6 Beaver Tail Car Carrier

A beaver-tail configuration uses a lowered rear section to help reduce the transition angle between the ramps and trailer deck.

Compare the 16×6’6 Beaver Tail Car Carrier Trailer.

This separation keeps the Box model focused on customers specifically looking for a sided vehicle-transport platform.

Suitable for Workshops, Motorsport and Vehicle Owners

The 16×6’6 Box Car Carrier can support several types of vehicle-transport work.

Workshops and Mechanics

Workshops may use a car carrier for moving project vehicles, customer cars or non-running vehicles between locations.

Motorsport Operators

Motorsport users may need vehicle transport together with tyres, tools and supporting equipment. A box-style platform provides a practical base for planning that transport setup.

Car Collectors and Enthusiasts

Collectors and enthusiasts can use a dedicated carrier for moving classic, modified or project vehicles without relying on general freight transport.

Commercial Vehicle Transport

Businesses transporting cars regularly can discuss the required trailer rating, braking arrangement and vehicle restraint requirements according to the intended load.

Rated Mass and Payload

Trailer dimensions do not determine carrying capacity.

The available payload depends on the completed trailer’s tare mass and applicable rated mass. The transported vehicle, equipment and any additional cargo must all be included when calculating the loaded trailer mass.

Before ordering, confirm the completed trailer’s:

• tare mass
• ATM
• GTM
• available payload
• axle configuration
• braking configuration
• tyre and wheel ratings
• coupling rating

The towing vehicle, towbar and electrical braking equipment must also be compatible with the completed trailer.

Custom Car Carrier Configurations

Vehicle-transport requirements vary considerably between workshops, collectors, motorsport teams and commercial operators.

Roshar can discuss configurations around the particular vehicle and intended application, including requirements relating to loading access, restraint locations, racks and other equipment-carrying needs.

Roshar has displayed completed 16×6’6 box car carrier builds with racks, demonstrating how the box platform can be adapted for customers needing additional equipment-carrying capability.

Why Choose Roshar for a Box Car Carrier?

Roshar offers multiple dedicated vehicle-transport configurations rather than treating every car carrier as the same trailer.

The wider range includes box, flat, beaver-tail and other car-carrier builds, allowing customers to compare loading access, deck design and intended vehicle use before ordering.

Roshar also displays real completed car carrier builds, including 16×6’6 box configurations, giving buyers examples of actual trailer layouts rather than relying only on generic product descriptions.

Trailer enquiries are supported through Roshar’s Melbourne operations in:

• Braeside
• Bayswater North
