Wide Range of Single Axle Trailers for Sale

Safari Trailers offers a great selection of single axle trailers across New Zealand. A single axle car trailer is an excellent choice for those who need to tow small to medium loads. These trailers are easier to manoeuvre, especially in tight spaces, and require less maintenance compared to tandem trailers. They’re also more affordable and fuel-efficient, making them a popular choice for many Kiwis. Whether you’re using it for home, work, or transporting equipment, a single axle car trailer is the practical solution for everyday towing. Our range includes:

6x4 single axle trailer
7x4 single axle trailer
8x4 single axle trailer
8x5 single axle trailer

No matter the size or type of load, we have a single axle trailer that suits your needs.

Choosing the Right Trailer

Not sure which trailer suits you best? Start with your load size and how often you’ll use it.

Single axle trailers are easier to tow, cost less to maintain and suit everyday use.
Tandem axle trailers offer more stability and are better for heavier loads.
Box trailers are ideal for general use and come with solid sides and optional cages. Flat decks are best for wider gear like machinery or timber.

If you often carry loose materials, a tipping trailer makes unloading much easier. Still unsure? Get in touch—we’re happy to help.
