Cargo trailers are a valuable cargo transportation resource, but they can also serve as an attractive target for thieves. Keep your trailer, and your items stored on it, safe with these strategies.

Invest in Security Technology

There are many advanced security technologies available for cargo trailers that help keep them safe from theft.

For example:

• An alarm system can alert you if someone attempts to break into your cargo trailer.
• GPS tracking technology can help you locate stolen cargo trailers quickly.
• Smart locks allow you to control access remotely via smartphone app.

Installing even one of these security features can go a long way towards protecting your cargo trailer from theft.

Use Security Markings

Security markings are permanent identifiers that make it easy to identify cargo trailers and their associated items should they be stolen. These markings may include serial numbers, barcodes, or other types of tamper-proof identification. This makes it easier for the police to track down the cargo trailer and return it to its rightful owner if it is ever stolen.

Customize Your Cargo Trailer

The more identifiable your cargo trailer is, the less of a target it will be to thieves. For example, consider painting your model with an unconventional neon color!

Be Strategic with Parking

As much as you can, park your cargo trailer in a well-lit area full of people. The high visibility will make thieves less likely to target your cargo trailer.

It's also helpful to park with your cargo trailer against a wall or fence, which will make disconnecting it from your tow vehicle much more challenging.
