Different Types of Enclosed Car Trailers

Enclosed Car Trailer

If you need to haul a car or other type of vehicle, an enclosed car trailer may be exactly what you need. Enclosed car trailers have a wide variety of different features and can be customized specifically for transporting your race car, vintage car, or show car.  Choose from bumper pull or gooseneck hitch types.

Some brands make enclosed car trailers with a screw-less exterior for smooth trailer sides, greatly reducing the wrinkles you get with a screwed exterior. Some also come standard with torsion axles. Many enclosed car trailers are also built with a one-piece aluminum roof that has no seams which reduce the chance of leaks compared to seamed roofs. If the trailer is built using steel or aluminum tubing for the entire frame, it provides the best foundation for the walls and provides a much more solid and rigid trailer.

In addition to transporting your car, enclosed car haulers can also be customized and used for many different uses.
  • Custom features can include:
  • Cabinets
  • Speakers
  • Televisions
  • Various types of lighting
  • Flooring and wall covering options
  • D-ring or e-track tie-down options
  • Additional doors or ramps

Your cargo trailer can be customized to haul your race car to the track or your vintage mustang to show off at a car show. Enclosed trailers offer safer transport of your vehicle while protecting it from the harsh elements of the sun, rain, snow, temperature, and vandalism.
Aluminum Enclosed Cargo Trailers
Aluminum construction provides a much lighter trailer which allows you to transport more cargo weight in your cargo trailer. Unlike steel trailers that require painting and can easily rust over time, aluminum does not need painting and will not rust.

Enclosed trailers built with tubing walls add additional strength and stability. An exterior that is built screw less looks much better than other aluminum enclosed cargo trailers. Screwless exterior construction is more resistant to wrinkling because it allows the exterior sheets to contract and expand as the temperature changes. Enclosed trailers also can be built with a seamless aluminum roof, reducing the chance of leaks as opposed to roofs that have seams every four feet.


There are also custom lighting packages that can be installed in the interior and exterior of your aluminum enclosed cargo trailers. LED exterior lighting can also be an option for your enclosed trailer, making it much more visible on the road.  Torsion axles can also provide a smoother ride and make each wheel independent of the other.
Cargo Trailers

If you are looking to haul equipment, supplies, livestock or a motorcycle, ATV or dune buggy, At Cargo Trailers 101 will help find just the right cargo trailer. Trailers vary in size and features. They can be towed by a truck, SUV or car. So if you’re in the market for a customized cargo trailer, you have found the single largest resource to help you make the right decision!

Many cargo trailer brands offer a number of features and options that give their enclosed trailers an advantage in the market place. Some offer leaf spring or torsion axles. Torsion axles allow each wheel to ride independently over bumps without affecting another wheel, even if on the same axle. Electric brakes provide added safety and stopping power for your enclosed trailer.

Some offer a screw-less exterior that provides a smoother and sleeker appearance to your cargo trailer. Tubing walls and ceiling construction can make the trailer sturdier and add durability over years of use.
Cargo trailers can be purchased based on their intended use such as:
  • General cargo, motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile, car, or racing trailer
  • Ultra-lite aluminum trailers – general cargo, motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile, car, or racing trailer
  • Gooseneck trailers – general cargo, car, or racing trailer
  • Horse or livestock trailers
  • Concession trailers – vending and food concession trailer
  • Stacker trailers – general cargo, car, or racing trailer. Most of those trailers are built with a hydraulic or electric lift. The lift is lowered to allow the first vehicle to be driven onto the lift. The lift is then raised to allow for another vehicle to be driven into the trailer and under the lifted vehicle. These types of trailers can be as tall as 13 feet.
A cargo trailer can also be customized with many features including a 110-volt electrical system for lighting, TVs and stereos, custom storage cabinets, air conditioning, tie-down options like e-track and d-rings, wall and ceiling coverings, generators, electric or hydraulic lifts just to name a few.
Custom Cargo Trailers
Cargo trailers can be customized to fit your specific needs. Many enclosed trailer brands are tough and very durable and will provide you many years of service.
Some trailer brands are built custom for each customer. This means that you can choose the features that fit your specific needs.  Many popular customized features include cabinets, speakers, televisions, flooring, lighting and more.

Trailer brands are often built with:
  • Torsion axles– each wheel rides independently over bumps without affecting another wheel, even if on the same axle
  • Screw-less or screwed exterior
  • One-piece seamless aluminum
  • LED exterior lighting – making better visibility on the road
  • Tubing wall, ceiling, and frame
  • Customization for any specific use

V-nosed Trailer Vs Regular Flat Enclosed Trailers

Do V-nosed Trailers Tow Better? It seems there’s a bit of a myth being spread about by trailer salesman. The claim is that v-nose trailers are more aerodynamic and do not have a tendency to sway as much as flat-fronted trailers. Travel trailers like the one pictured below seem to be the new industry trend, as manufacturers use every trick at their disposal to create more space with less length. Aerodynamic shape? When I was a first-year engineering student at Lawrence Tech University in Michigan, our instructor put several shapes up on the board and asked which was the most aerodynamic. Almost every student pointed to the V shape. We were wrong. Our instructor then put up a side view of a Navy jet aircraft. Naturally, any aircraft manufacturer will choose the most aerodynamic shape possible. Our jet aircraft all have a teardrop shape, with the wide end pointing forward. That’s because it is the turbulent air that runs alongside the body of an aircraft, or trailer, ...

What is the best cargo trailer on the market?

What is the best cargo trailer on the market?  That’s hard to answer because there are so many different brands and types of trailers on the market. Diamond, Haulmark, Lark, and Pace are good trailers but it's just people’s opinions. The reality is that most trailers are made with the same materials; their parts and materials are interchangeable.  Most dirt cheap trailers are made with a hybrid of Chinese steel and low-grade aluminum. The trailer market has gotten so competitive that almost of dealers will sell a stock trailer with a profit margin of $150; knowing that trailer will fail within 5 years but after the 3-year warranty. That leaves the customer with two options; buy new one or repair the old one.  This gives the dealer a 50% chance that the customer will return to buy a new one or painfully pay for the trailer to be service for half of the price of a  new one. Win-Win for the dealer! Sucks for the customer.  Another example is that the d...
