Trailer, 5 x 8 Utility
The Trailer, 5 x 8 Utility is a compact 5-foot by 8-foot single axle open utility trailer available at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. At $800, this is the most affordable and compact utility trailer in the Skipper B inventory — the entry-level hauler for homeowners, small project operators, and anyone who needs a basic utility trailer without the size and cost of a larger model. The 5x8 footprint tows behind any vehicle with a hitch, fits in a standard residential driveway, parks in a single parking space, and stores against a garage wall or fence line in the tight residential lots throughout Jefferson Parish, Marrero, Harvey, Gretna, and the West Bank. Despite the compact size, the 5x8 deck carries a surprising amount of material — yard debris, appliances, furniture, building supplies, and equipment that won't fit in a truck bed.
Louisiana homeowners and small operators who don't need a full-size utility trailer find the 5x8 handles the jobs that come up regularly — hauling brush and yard waste to the dump after a weekend cleanup, moving furniture between homes, carrying building materials for a DIY project, transporting a riding mower for property maintenance, or loading supplies for a camp project near Bayou Segnette. The single axle design keeps the trailer lightweight and easy to maneuver by hand in tight spaces — back it into a carport, spin it around in a driveway, or push it into position beside the house. The rear drop gate makes loading heavy items manageable, and the low deck height reduces the lifting needed to load by hand. Whether you're a homeowner who needs an affordable utility trailer for occasional hauling, New Boater Nancy and Nick who need a small trailer for camp supplies and equipment, a weekend DIYer hauling materials from the hardware store to the house, or anyone in Greater New Orleans who's tired of borrowing a friend's trailer every time something needs to be moved, this 5x8 provides your own hauling capacity at the lowest possible price.
At $800.00, this is the most affordable utility trailer at Skipper B — basic, functional, and ready to haul. The compact 5x8 size goes anywhere and stores easily. Perfect for homeowners, small-project hauling, yard cleanup, furniture moving, camp supply transport, and any light-duty hauling need throughout Southeast Louisiana.
