The Ultimate Guide to Renting an Enclosed Trailer

Why Rent an Enclosed Trailer?

Enclosed trailers offer weather protection, security, and versatility that open trailers simply can't match. Whether you're moving, hauling band equipment, or transporting valuable goods, an enclosed trailer keeps your cargo safe.

Choosing the Right Size

The most common sizes are 6×12 (perfect for apartment moves), 7×14 (ideal for house moves), and 8×20 (for commercial loads). Consider both the volume and weight of your cargo.

Loading Tips

Always load heaviest items first, centered over the axles. Use ratchet straps every 3 feet. Never exceed the payload capacity listed on the trailer's VIN plate.

Towing Safety

Check your vehicle's towing capacity before booking. Most enclosed trailers need at least a half-ton truck or large SUV. Always connect safety chains in an X pattern and test all lights before departing.
