Features You Keep in Mind While Purchasing an Enclosed Cargo Trailer

An enclosed cargo trailer does not need vinyl tarps like a flatbed trailer does. The tarps are spread over the contents on the trailer to keep the items in place and the weather out. An enclosed cargo trailer is just that, its an enclosed flatbed trailer, thus no need for a tarp. This is a good selection if the items you will be hauling are susceptible to the weather or if you live in a rainy area.

When purchasing an enclosed cargo trailer, be sure to know the size you will need. It is always better to purchase a larger one than you think you need than to not have enough space for your items. The sizes range from one axle 5'x8' to two or more axles at 8.5'x52'. Most non commercial applications for an enclosed trailer can be utilized with a one axle 5'x8'.

There are many different types of enclosed cargo trailers to choose from. They are built with the item that they are going to be hauling in mind. Horse trailers are built with separate stalls and windows. A car trailer is built with a ramp. An RV trailer can also be considered an enclosed cargo trailer. These are built with modern day conveniences to make camping easy.

The laws for towing a trailer under 3,000 pounds are pretty simple. It's just common sense really. Make sure the brake and tail lights are in working order, and your license plate is viewable from behind. The height limit is 13.5'.

If you are purchasing a used trailer, be sure to inspect it carefully. Make sure the reflectors and or tail lights are in working order. You also want to make sure the tires have at least 70% of tread life left. When buying tires, buy name brand quality tires.

Whether you need an enclosed cargo trailer, or another type of trailer, they are usually of simple construction and require low maintenance.
