Homesteader Hercules 8.5′ Series

The trailers in the Hercules 8.5 series of enclosed cargo trailers have undergone significant enhancements and are now larger and more advanced than ever. This series includes the 8.5 enclosed wide bumper pulls and 8.5 enclosed wide gooseneck trailer models. Our approach to constructing the most durable and reliable enclosed trailers starts from the very foundation.

​

To ensure a smooth and comfortable ride, the Hercules 8.5 trailer is equipped with rubber torsion axles with E-Z lube hubs and radial tires. For utmost strength and dependability, we utilize 2×6 tube steel to construct the main frame. To provide optimal stability, we place floor crossmembers and tubular wall posts at 16″ intervals.

​

Internally, we install a 3/4″ exterior grade plywood flooring and a 3/8″ premium plywood sidewall liner for added support. When it comes to aesthetics and performance, the Hercules 8.5 enclosed cargo trailer boasts a sleek, aerodynamic body made of .030 gauge aluminum, featuring a baked-on enamel finish.

​

The standard specifications for the Hercules 8.5 include a 102″ body, a 96″ interior width, 81 1/2″ distance between the wheel wells, and a generous interior height of 6’8″. Additionally, we provide a 3-year limited manufacturer’s warranty for every Hercules 8.5 enclosed utility trailer, ensuring durability and peace of mind.

​

​

To tailor the Hercules 8.5 enclosed utility trailer to your specific needs, we offer a wide range of options. These include side doors of varying sizes, a ramp with spring assist for easier loading and unloading, roof vents, flow through vents for improved air circulation, aluminum treadplate stoneguard, a Vee-nose front for enhanced aerodynamics, additional height, air conditioning, aluminum treadplate flooring, aluminum corners, aluminum wheels, and several other options too numerous to list.

​

Rest assured that the Hercules 8.5 enclosed utility trailer is designed to exceed your requirements.
