Notes
Exact specs vary by configuration: C&M doesn’t publish a single universal spec for all 18×82 trailers; it depends on options like ramps, winch, coupler size, GVWR package, decking, and suspension type.
Payload & axle ratings: The numbers above (7,000 lb GVWR with ~5,000 lb payload) are typical for common car hauler builds with tandem 3.5 K axles. Some custom or heavier models could have higher GVWR if built with heavier axles or upgrades.
Example Use Cases
This size and spec are commonly used for:
Transporting one or two vehicles (cars, UTVs, ATVs)
Hauling equipment (lawn, construction, small machinery)
Utility work and general cargo hauling
What to Check on a Specific Trailer
If you’re looking at a specific trailer, check the data plate/sticker on the trailer itself. It will list the GVWR, GAWR (per axle), empty weight (unladen), tire size, and coupler rating — that’s the official specs that matter for safe towing.
