Description
This 8×4 trailer is the Mini Cube 84, an enclosed box with a rear door. The 8ft length takes long items such as timber, ladders and full sheets of board, and the 4ft width keeps it narrow behind most cars. The rear door can be padlocked, and the chassis is galvanised underneath.
About the Mini Cube 84

Built in the UK by Apache Trailers, it combines a galvanised steel chassis with aluminium composite panels to provide a durable, lightweight trailer suitable for general transport and everyday use.

Why buyers choose this 8×4 trailer
Underneath, the Mini Cube 84 has the same galvanised steel chassis we use across the range, with a hard-wearing phenolic board floor. The square, enclosed body makes the most of the floor area, with full height right to the front, so boxes and crates stack neatly. A rear door gives a cleaner weather seal than a ramp.
A rear door suits boxed goods, tools and stock better than a ramp, and it can be padlocked when the trailer is parked. If you mainly carry wheeled kit, ask us about a ramp version instead.
What people use it for
- Carrying tools and stock that need to stay dry and locked away overnight
- House moves, tip runs for bagged waste and trips to the storage unit
- Camping and festival kit, bikes and paddleboards
- Event and market stall equipment, or a small mobile workshop
We keep spare parts for every 8×4 trailer we sell, from wheels to lighting.
Before you buy
Check your vehicle’s braked and unbraked towing limits, which you’ll find in the handbook or on the VIN plate. The trailer plus everything in it must stay under that figure. Most drivers with a full car licence can tow up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass, and the GOV.UK guide to towing with a car explains the rules in more detail. It’s also worth measuring your driveway gate or garage door against the external height before you order.
A cover and a hitch lock go a long way if your 8×4 trailer lives outside.
8×4 trailer FAQs
Can I tow this 8×4 trailer with a normal car?
In most cases, yes. It’s an unbraked trailer, so the trailer and its load must stay within the 750kg legal limit for unbraked trailers and within your car’s own unbraked towing limit.
Is the 8×4 trailer lockable?
The rear can be secured, and we’d add a hitch lock and wheel clamp if it’s left loaded overnight. Both are available in our trailer accessories range.
Can I see the Mini Cube 84 before ordering?
Yes. Email us first and we’ll make sure one is on display at our Bromsgrove yard when you visit.
