Why Cargo Trailers are Great to Have!

We here at Southern Trailer Works have a multitude of different trailers. While all our inventory has its unique purposes and utilizations, we wanted to take a moment to focus on cargo trailers and their many benefits. Whether you need it for storage or transport, a construction job, or helping a friend move, a cargo trailer will get the job done! Once you’ve read our article feel free to visit our dealership in Schriever, Louisiana, to see our great inventory. 

Cargo Safety

Weather

One of the primary advantages of a cargo trailer is that it’s completely covered, protecting your items from any and all bad weather! No more checking weather apps and panicking when rain or snow rolls in. Even items that are sensitive to light and heat will be safe from the sun in your cargo trailer. 

Thieves 

A packed trailer at a busy gas station can spell disaster. Step away from your vehicle for a moment and sticky fingers could quickly take off with something important. With a cargo trailer, your items are out of sight and therefore out of the mind of petty thieves. Your trailer also has singular points of entry, making it much easier to lock and guard it against even the most determined thieves.

The Road

You’ve seen it a thousand times before; you’re driving next to someone who's loaded up their pickup with too much cargo and suddenly it’s fallen into the street and created a road hazard. With a cargo trailer, this will never happen to you! Not only do the enclosed walls keep your things from falling into the street, but they also allow you to secure your items with straps from almost any angle.

Variety 

Cargo

Just about anything can be carried in a cargo trailer! They’re famous for their high weight capacity and helpful length. These trailers are used by both the working man and the average person, meaning they’re been engineered to carry any type of freight. Anything from furniture and power tools to motorcycles and aluminum siding can be transported with these trailers.

Utilization 

Not only do these trailers have a variety of cargo, but as they’ve become more popular they’ve also gained a variety of uses! A cargo trailer is a perfect storage shed, as it is easily locked and protected against thieves. Its mobility also makes it easy to travel with a workstation or move your shed to your new home. People have also been turning them into portable offices. Many cargo trailers already have some form of electric wiring, making it easy to outfit them with wifi or A/C.

Overall, a cargo trailer is a great asset to have for a number of reasons. If you’re interested in purchasing one, or even just browsing, feel free to visit our dealership!
