German startup Faltos has launched a new folding cargo trailer designed to maximize garage storage space. The unit transitions into an operational configuration in 60 seconds and supports a payload of up to 550 kg.

The trailer features a folding galvanized steel frame and 18-mm plywood panels. It starts at €2,799 and offers a maximum towing speed of 100 km/h with an optional lightweighting package.
The players
Faltos
This German startup company specializes in developing space-saving transport solutions for the automotive market.
The details
The cargo bed spans 242 by 124 by 30 cm when fully expanded and utilizes aluminum hinges to connect the plywood panels. Users can purchase the device across the European market, where it is currently exclusively available.
Timeline
Development of the trailer began in 2015.
The product was officially released on September 25, 2026.
Roadmap
This trailer enters a sector increasingly focused on modular utility and space-saving engineering. It reflects the broader transition toward versatile automotive accessories that cater to urban consumers who require heavy-duty hauling without the requirement for permanent outdoor parking.
Buyers can purchase the unit for a starting price of €2,799, though they should account for the decreased payload capacity that accompanies the optional lightweighting package. The design allows owners to store the trailer in tight spaces, effectively eliminating the need for paid long-term trailer storage.
The takeaway
Owners should prioritize the lightweighting package if their daily driving requires higher highway speeds to avoid drag or handling issues. This trailer serves as a viable alternative to traditional models for those prioritizing garage efficiency over constant availability.
