A folding trailer has pivotally connected front, main and rear sections movable from an unfolded condition to a folded condition, in which the rear section pivots 270° to lie atop the main section, and the front section pivots 90° to nest within the main section. This provides a folded compact arrangement approximately 48″×80″. When unfolded, the trailer produces an inside dimension of approximately 60″×96″, enabled by the front section thin walls that are interiorly nearly as wide as the main and rear sections. An extensible handle facilitates folding and unfolding the rear section.

1. A folding trailer having main, front and rear sections movable between folded and unfolded conditions, wherein the rear, front and main sections each have a floor and upstanding side walls, and the main section mounts aligned road wheels, characterized byboth the main and rear sections having substantially the same inside width between side walls, first pivot means connecting the rear and main sections along a transverse axis near the tops of the side walls, thereby enabling pivotal movement of the rear section to a position atop the main section in folded condition, the front section having a forwardly-extending tongue, a floor, and upstanding thin flat side walls having an outside width slightly less than the inside width of the main section side walls, and including second pivot means connecting the main and front sections along a second transverse axis near the floors of both sections, thereby enabling pivotal movement of the front section to a position nested within the main section in folded condition. 2. The folding trailer of either of claims 1, including a handle carried on one side of the rear section and extensible to facilitate manual movement of the rear section between unfolded and folded conditions.3. The folding trailer of either of claims 1, including a removable end gate carried by side channels mounted on the sides of the of the rear section side walls.4. The folding trailer of either of claims 1, wherein the rear section mounts a flange having spaced apertures, and including a pair of ramps each having a pin insertable in an aperture to removably mount the ramps on the trailer to facilitate loading/unloading wheeled vehicles.5. The folding trailer of either of claims 1, wherein the sides and floors are sized to provide an interior floor size of approximately 60″ in width and 96″ in length.6. The folding trailer of claim 5, wherein the trailer has outside dimensions of at least approximately 48″ front-to-back and 80″ or less in width in folded condition.7. The folding trailer of claim 1, including a first locking hole located near the top front edge of one wall of the main section and a second locking hole located near the adjacent upper rear wall of the front section, and a pin insertable through the locking holes when aligned to lock the front and main sections together.8. The folding trailer of claim 7, including adjustment means for adjusting the angularity between the front and main sections to assure alignment of the front and main sections in unfolded condition.9. The folding trailer of claim 8, wherein the first locking hole is positioned such that when the pin is reinserted therein in folded condition provides a barrier to movement of the front section out of folded position.10. The folding trailer of either of claims 1, wherein the center of weight of the trailer is located forwardly of the ground contact point of the wheels in both folded and unfolded conditions, and including at least one storage leg carried by the main section forwardly of the center of weight, said leg being extensible to stabilize the trailer in folded condition.
