Hello Sherri.
No, the 24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier with etrailer Enclosure Cage for 2" Hitches - Steel - 440 lbs # RP85AR can not be folded up when it is not in use. The cage portion of the unit can be easily removed by loosening the 4 bolts on each side. The cage can be stored upside down in a garage or even a shed to be used as a storage bin when you are not using it to haul stuff behind your car. You could make the unit flat, but you would have to take it apart. I have included a review video, and also a video on how to put it together (if needed could repeat backwards to make flat, I realize that not everyone has the space to store something of this size).
