What is the Width of a Jet Ski Trailer?

The width of a jet ski trailer is limited by US regulations which state a trailer cannot be wider that 102 inches.

The width of a jet ski trailer is an essential factor to consider, as it affects the overall size and stability of the trailer.

In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about the width of a jet ski trailer and why it matters.

Types of Jet Ski Trailers

There are two main types of jet ski trailers: single-place trailers and multi-place trailers. Single-place trailers are designed to carry one jet ski, while multi-place trailers can carry two or more jet skis.

The width of a jet ski trailer can vary depending on the type of trailer and the number of jet skis it is designed to carry.

The Triton Wave single trailer is incredibly slim at a width of 55 inches. Not that it could manage a lot of weight! We would advise only the smallest of PWC’s be loaded onto a Wave.

Standard Jet Ski Trailer Width

The standard width of a single-place jet ski trailer is around 96 inches, which is equivalent to 8 feet. Multi-place jet ski trailers are limited to 102 inches by law.

However, it is important to note that some manufacturers may have different widths, so it is essential to check with the manufacturer to ensure you have the correct width for your needs.

Double Jet Ski Trailer Width

The maximum width of a jet ski trailer being limited by US regulations really limits how dual jet ski trailers can be built.

Trailers go longer rather than wider!

The law which state a trailer cannot be wider that 102 inches means that the 102 inches is the average size of a double jet ski trailer and anything bigger.

How to Measure the Width of a Jet Ski Trailer

Measuring the width of a jet ski trailer is relatively straightforward. To measure the width of a single-place trailer, measure the distance between the two sides of the trailer.

For multi-place trailers, measure the distance between the two sides of the trailer, including any extension arms.

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Jet Ski Trailer

When selecting a jet ski trailer, there are several factors to consider, including the width of the trailer, the size of the towing vehicle, and the overall weight of the jet ski and weight of the trailer.

Additionally, you should consider the type of terrain you will be travelling over and whether you need a trailer with special features, such as adjustable extension arms or a hydraulic ramp.

In conclusion, the width of a jet ski trailer is an essential factor to consider when selecting a trailer for your jet ski. It affects the stability and size of the trailer, as well as the size of the towing vehicle. When selecting a jet ski trailer, it is important to consider your specific needs and to choose a trailer that meets those needs.
