The Great and Versatile Enclosed Trailer

May 25, 2021||Daniel Thompson

It’s hard to think of a piece of equipment or tool that offers more applications and benefits than an enclosed trailer. Just like having any tool available when you really need it, so an enclosed trailer is extremely beneficial for some situations. Let’s say your child has a date for prom on Friday. You have three days to get your surveillance vehicle ready. A van is too conspicuous. Sitting nearby in a car wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a fake mustache is too risky. What you need is an enclosed trailer. Of course there are many, many other applications.

Let’s look first at the advantages of an enclosed trailer:

ADVANTAGES

Protection

While nothing is 100 percent safe from a clever or diligent thief, an enclosed trailer stops people from conveniently stealing your goods. Opportunistic thieves make up the lion’s share of property loss, and they will have a harder time with an enclosed trailer.

Nature presents another set of challenges that an enclosed trailer is designed to conquer. Rain, snow, wind, hail, ice, sunlight – you’re protected now. Your tools, storage items, business products, and any other vulnerable investments are safe.

Privacy

Not everyone needs to know what you are hauling. Seeing your contents could tempt thieves and vandals, spoil surprises, and…does everyone need to see your business?

Personalization

Paint the thing or get a custom wrap with business information and endless options for decoration. It can be a rolling billboard for your business or hobby. Not to mention all the Salt Life, surf shop, brewery, marathon, and political stickers you could boast. 

On the inside, you can build shelving, benches, appliances, and a wide variety of application-specific arrangements for your individual needs. Are you using it primarily to haul things like wood or mulch? Then leave it open or create separators. Are you using it for workspace? Put in a workbench and tool storage containers. Are you using it for vending food or items? Put in cabinets and countertops.
Applications

Hauling

We mentioned wood and mulch, but an enclosed trailer can haul so much more.

  • Automobiles
  • Recreational Vehicles
  • Equipment
  • Tools
  • Items during a move
  • Supplies 
  • Recreational Gear like camping or hiking
  • Antiques or anything that shouldn’t be in the elements
  • Awkward Materials that are difficult to secure on an open trailer like sand, dirt, foam, paper, or plastic items
  • Business Goods like perishables and cooking equipment 
  • Almost anything else
  • Storing

Sometimes it’s nice to have a dedicated space for materials. Items can rest in an enclosed trailer safe, organized, accessible, and for free. Whether you are keeping tools and materials for a business or hobby, or just helping someone while they are transitioning homes, an enclosed trailer is a fantastic device.  

Doing Business

Selling food, crafts, and any products out of the trailers is convenient. Other businesses may use it for transporting equipment – like that of landscapers, contractors, service technicians, and others – or storing supplies, tools, or office materials that are business related. An enclosed trailer can serve as a mobile office as well. Check out this link for inspiration.
