What Size Trailer Do You Need for a Golf Cart?

Golf carts are wonderful for recreational use or on certain streets, but you generally can’t drive them in high-traffic or high-speed areas. So, if you want to get your golf cart to a different place without driving it there yourself, you need to get a proper trailer. Loading a cart onto a trailer is not a complex process, but what size trailer do you need for a golf cart, and is there anything else you need to bear in mind?

The Standard Size

Trailers come in many different sizes, and it may seem difficult to know which one works best for your golf cart. For most carts, the standard trailer size is 5x10. A 5x10 utility trailer should fit most brands or older or modern golf carts without issue. Some folks may wonder if having a lifted golf cart or one with a rear seat may impact that, but you should be good to go.

Other Potential Sizes

While a 5x10 is a safe industry standard, it may not be the right choice for your specific make or model of cart. If you're still wondering what size trailer you need for a golf cart, consider some other sizes. If you have a longer or heavier-duty golf cart, you may need something a little larger. Certain golf cart trailers have lengths of six feet, 7.5 feet, or even 10 feet.

Loading Advice

When you load your golf cart onto a trailer, it's usually a good idea to load it backward. Having the heavier side toward the front of the trailer makes it less likely to move and shift. You can hang the rear seat foot tray over the front to save some room. Remember always securely to fasten down your cart and use tire stoppers.
