With so many different trailer categories, it can be hard knowing where to even start your search. The following guide can help you determine the best trailer types for your unique needs.

Enclosed versus Open Trailers

An enclosed trailer will have walls and a ceiling. It offers a secure space for storing items, especially valuable or delicate ones. These trailers offer protection against theft, vandalism, kicked-up debris, and poor weather.

An open trailer won't have a ceiling, often has very short walls, and is usually closer to the ground. Loading oddly-shaped cargo or heavy cargo is easier with an open trailer. Since these trailers are constructed with fewer materials, they are also lower in price.

New versus Used Trailers

New trailers will come with the latest and greatest features and design. These can range from a lighter weight to an easier hitching experience.

Used trailers will have the most budget-friendly price points. They'll be sold at a fraction of their original cost.

All-Purpose versus Specialized Trailers

An all-purpose trailer offers great versatility. It can be used to haul many different types of cargo and tackle different kinds of projects.

A specialized trailer will offer the best hauling experience for a certain type of cargo. For example, dump trailers can easily dump debris in addition to hauling it and are a great option for property maintenance work.
