The weight capacity of a utility trailer can vary greatly depending on the type, size, material, features, and number of axles of the trailer. A small utility trailer can have a weight capacity ranging from 1,000 lbs to 3,000 lbs and an empty weight from 300 lbs to 1,100 lbs.

A small enclosed utility trailer can have a maximum weight capacity of up to 7,000 lbs and a cargo load capacity of around 2,200 lbs. The main factor that goes into a utility trailer’s weight limit is the load rating of its axle.

Trailer axles are rated based on their diameter, which helps determine their overall strength. The thicker the axle, the more weight it can carry, and most axles can carry somewhere between 1,000 and 10,000 pounds.
