PlayCraft 8.5′ × 16′ Utility Trailer RV Special – Heavy Duty Tandem Axle Hauler

The PlayCraft 8.5′ × 16′ RV Special Utility Trailer is a versatile, heavy duty hauling solution that offers both capacity and reliability for contractors, landscapers, RV owners, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who needs a dependable utility hauler in the Phoenix and Scottsdale area. Rated at 7,000 pounds GVWR, this tandem axle utility trailer delivers rugged performance and plenty of payload capacity for equipment, materials and gear.

One of the standout features of this 8.5 foot wide utility trailer is the tandem axle configuration. Compared to a single axle, tandem axles provide improved stability, smoother towing, better weight distribution and greater strength when hauling heavy loads. Whether you are transporting construction tools, landscaping equipment, building materials, ATVs, UTVs, or RV accessories, this trailer is designed to handle it with confidence.

The treated wood deck is built to take the daily wear of heavy loads while resisting rot and damage from weather exposure. A sturdy 2×6 treated pine floor gives you a durable deck surface that works for equipment with tough tires and skids, pallet loads or bulky cargo that might stress a lighter deck. The extra deck width at 99 inches and 16 feet of length strikes a great balance between deck space and ease of towing around jobsites, ranches or campgrounds.

Loading and unloading on a trailer this size is made easier thanks to the 4 foot spring assist ramp gate. This ramp gate provides a smooth transition from ground to deck, letting you drive or roll equipment on and off the trailer with minimal effort. Whether you are loading a mower, loader, machine, or recreational gear, the ramp gate keeps the process efficient, safer and less strenuous.

This PlayCraft utility trailer is equipped with LED lighting throughout. LED lights are brighter and more reliable than traditional bulbs, giving you better visibility on the road and increased safety during night travel or early morning loading. Paired with a heavy duty lighting harness and connectors, this trailer is ready for Arizona highways, desert roads or jobsite travel.

Towing features include a 2-5/16 inch coupler for secure hitch interface, a robust drop-leg jack for stable setup when parked, and electric brakes with breakaway kit for safer stopping and control. The trailer rolls on heavy duty radial tires sized to handle load weight while offering a smoother ride compared to standard bias tires. A welded, lockable spare tire mount gives you peace of mind if a flat occurs on the road.

The PlayCraft RV Special utility trailer earns its name by being ideal not just for work gear but also for RV owners who need a dependable trailer for hauling gear to camp sites, family trips, or outdoor recreational areas. The combination of a wide deck and a long trailer footprint makes it easy to transport everything from outdoor furniture and towing accessories to outdoor toys like ATVs and golf carts.
