Question:
What size trailer can carry 1183 lb

Expert Reply:
That's a really specific amont of weight you're looking to haul.
The size of the trailer isn't the most important factor you need to consider. Trailer's are rated by weight capacity, with a maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) and a maximum tongue weight (TW). A trailer's maximum GTW is how heavy it can be when it is fully loaded. Tongue weight is the amount of downward force that is on the trailer's tongue pushing ont the trailer hitch. a trailer's TW is usually betweeen 10 to 15 percent of its GTW.
The best way to find a trailer that can handle what you're trying to haul is to find one that is first large enough for what you're putting in it to fit, and then make sure that trailer can handle the 1,183 pounds. With that small amount of weight you shouldn't have too much of an issue since it's pretty light.
