There are four major types of cargo trailers that are available for sale easily.
1. Multiple axle trailers:
If you are going to move more than 3000 pounds of weight at once, you should go for a dual or multiple axle trailers. The higher number and position of the axles helps in uniform weight dispersion during transport thereby keeping your goods safe.
2. Single axle trailers:
Common household goods and small business payloads can be easily moved in single axle trailers. But the combined weight of the goods should not be more than 2500 -3000 pounds.
3. Enclosed and specialty enclosed trailers:
If there are several small and loose parts that cannot be held in place using ropes or ties and small boxes that hold a risk of slipping out during transportation, you should choose enclosed trailers that either have solid side walls or are of a flatbed kind. The specialty enclosed trailers are mostly used when a lot of animals are to be moved to another location.
4. Open trailers:
These are cheap and quite common. If there is no fear of any small goods slipping away, you can trust these trailers to do the job.
