Enclosed trailers are a type of utility trailer, of which there are numerous sub-varieties. Enclosed overhead and on all sides, they provide extra storage space and are widely used in almost every industry. Whether you need to haul a large vehicle or small tools, there is a trailer suitable for the application; the right one depends on factors such as the trailer’s size, whether it’s a single or tandem axle, and other vehicle options.

Elements of Enclosed Trailers

While they are not usually powered themselves, all enclosed trailers must have brake lights, which are usually powered by the main vehicle via the trailer hitch. Most have a door/gate on the back, though some have side doors for easier access to cargo. By law, all trailers must be outfitted with license plates, though they are not vehicles in their own right and must be towed.

Commercial Uses

In many industries, they’re used as equipment trailers—for example, for transporting farming tools. Enclosed trailers can even be used to transport live animals, such as horses, who need plenty of space and the security of enclosed walls. Utility trailers are also used for commercial deliveries and are often customized with company names, logos, and contact information.

Other Enclosed Trailer Uses

It’s not just businesses that use commercial trailers. Private individuals also use them, especially for recreational purposes. Off-road enthusiasts, for example, often load up their trailers with bikes, snowmobiles, or other equipment for special excursions. In some cases, enclosed trailers can be fully powered and air conditioned for use as mobile offices or campers.
