What are the Different Types of Custom Trailers?

Transporting goods and equipment requires a specific type of cargo trailer. Understanding the variety of custom cargo trailers can assist you in choosing the right one to efficiently carry your load, whether for personal use or commercial needs. 

Open vs. Closed Custom Cargo Trailers

Custom cargo trailers come primarily in two styles: open and closed. Open custom cargo trailers are beneficial for transporting large or oddly shaped items, providing ease of access and flexibility. However, they lack protection from weather elements. Closed custom cargo trailers offer security from theft and weather conditions but might restrict the type of goods you can transport due to the confined space.

Single Axle vs. Tandem Axle 

Depending on your hauling requirements, you might consider choosing between single-axle and tandem-axle custom cargo trailers. Single axle trailers are lighter, more maneuverable, and efficient for small hauls while tandem axle trailers offer stability and support for transporting heavier loads.

Specialized Trailers

For unique transportation needs, specialized custom trailers might be required. Examples include auto transport trailers for moving vehicles or gooseneck trailers known for their strength and stability when handling heavy-duty hauls.
