Will a 4×8 trailer carry a golf cart?
A utility trailer does more than haul your items; it keeps the load in perfect form and ensures your equipment arrives in top shape.
If you would take a moment to read one of our articles, “What size trailer do I need to haul a golf cart,” you will understand why size matters in choosing the right trailer.
A 4X8 feet trailer is measured 4 feet wide and 8 feet long, the golf cart to fit into this trailer size must be something smaller than the area size.
Golf carts come in different sizes and weights. Therefore a 4X8 feet trailer will carry any cart that is lesser in size and meets the specified carrying weight.
Before you pick a trailer for your golf cart, it is advisable to know the size and weight of your cart. Do not walk into a trailer shop and choose just any without knowing the details of your cart.
For instance, if you have a 4X8 feet trailer with a weight carrying capacity of 1200 pounds, you need a golf cart that weighs less than 1200 pounds with area size around 3X6 feet to fit into the trailer. Often, I ask you to talk to a golf cart dealership for advice for the best match of a trailer and cart to solve the issue.
Apart from the weight and size, another factor to consider is the distance to haul your cart. You need a trailer conditioned to go the distance with the capacity to take you there in one piece. Remember, there would be additional travel pressure on the way.
The best thing is to find the right match by talking to the expert for a recommendation on the best trailer to use.

What is the size of a standard golf cart?
Each golf cart has its specified size and weight; it is such information that you use to determine if a 4X8 feet trailer would fit your cart.
The standard golf cart size defines the dimensions of your cart and what is of interest to you when considering an open trailer is the width and length of the cart. The standard-sized cart is 4 feet wide by 8 feet long.
Therefore, if you own a standard golf cart, it will be challenging to fit in a 4X8 trailer. In other words, you need the bigger sized trailer, say 5X9 feet or bigger for a standard golf cart.
However, the 4X8 feet trailer will go well for a golf cart size that is below the standard measurement.
