Description
This 8×4 secure trailer is the Cube MIDI Xtra Secure 84. The MIDI body gives a practical height for most loads, and the chequer plate cladding and padlock box add a real step up in security. The rear ramp makes loading heavy tools and equipment simple.
About the Cube MIDI Xtra Secure 84
Apache Cube MIDI Xtra Secure — heavy-duty chequer plate body with a high-security padlock lock box on the rear ramp.
The Cube MIDI Xtra Secure is the hardened, security-focused version of our Cube MIDI 84. The aluminium composite body is replaced with tough, heavy-duty chequer plate aluminium throughout, with a chequer plate rear loading ramp and a shipping-container-style padlock lock box which secures the ramp. Same compact 4ft 4in internal height and heavy-duty galvanised chassis as our standard Apache Cube MIDI range.

Why the 8×4 secure trailer is built differently
The Xtra Secure range is aimed at people who leave a trailer loaded, often overnight and often somewhere they can’t keep an eye on it. The body is clad in chequer plate rather than just composite panels, and a fitted padlock box shrouds the padlock so it can’t easily be attacked with bolt croppers. It’s the same galvanised chassis and phenolic-topped steel floor as the rest of the Cube family underneath.
That extra protection adds a little weight compared with a standard Cube, so it’s worth checking your car’s towing limit. For most estate cars and SUVs it isn’t an issue.
Who it suits
- Trades who keep tools and materials in the trailer between jobs
- Market traders and event crews storing stock
- Anyone parking a trailer on the street or in a shared yard
- Motorsport and hobby users with expensive kit inside
Every 8×4 secure trailer is backed by our own spare parts stock.
Security tips
No trailer is theft-proof, but layers help. Use the padlock box with a closed-shackle padlock, add a hitch lock and a wheel clamp, and park with the door or ramp against a wall where you can. The GOV.UK guide to towing with a car also covers what you need to know about weights and licences before your first trip.
8×4 secure trailer FAQs
What padlock should I use with the 8×4 secure trailer?
A closed-shackle or disc padlock that fits inside the padlock box gives the best protection, as there’s very little for a cutting tool to grab.
Does the 8×4 secure trailer need a special licence?
No. It’s within the limits most full car licence holders can tow, as long as your vehicle is rated for the weight.
Can I add shelving or ply lining?
Yes. Ply lining and fitted toolboxes are available as extras, and many customers add their own racking inside.
