5 Benefits of Enclosed Trailers
At Basic Trailers, we are continually expanding our range of Adelaide-built trailers based on what our loyal clients tell us they need. This is why we are currently producing a growing number of quality enclosed trailers in order to meet the needs of landscape and gardening businesses, the building and construction industry, movers, tradies and many more.
There is also a demand for enclosed trailers in Adelaide by people using them for recreation and leisure activities, such as transporting motorbikes, quad bikes or go karts, or carrying camping gear, and who need to keep gear covered when on the road or parked up.
In the following guide we discuss the reasons why enclosed trailers are so popular in South Australia, and explore their many helpful features.
Benefits of enclosed trailers
Our enclosed trailers are designed and constructed at our Adelaide workshop and deliver a range of benefits. They are tough enough to be used in all types of applications, ensuring you have complete peace of mind whatever use you put them to.
Enclosed trailers are highly versatile
Enclosed trailers can be used to cart and store a wide range of goods, tools and products, and can also be customised to meet very specific needs. The most common sizes are 8x5 and 10x6 feet; however other dimensions are also available. Standard enclosed trailers typically have a height of 7 feet and a 1990kg ATM rating.
Single-axle enclosed trailers are suitable for light commercial use; Tandem-axle enclosed trailers are better for commercial applications with higher load capacity.
The interior can be efficiently organised with a variety of different storage systems, and so you can fit out any size enclosed trailer with shelves, tie-down points, hooks, tool racks, etc., if required. You can also add racks to the roof or sides for carrying ladders or other kit, as well as rear barn doors with flush locks, and so in terms of add-on features you have a great many more options than with an open box trailer.
Ramps and rear barn doors make it easy to load an enclosed trailer
Common uses for enclosed trailers include transporting furniture, tools and work gear. To make life easier, the rear tailgate on our standard enclosed trailers acts as a ramp, making is straightforward to load and unload bikes and other vehicles, as well as plant and heavy machinery.
However, if required, we also offer a rear barn door option (two doors that open outwards) if that better suits your needs. This set up can be useful in situations where parking or access for an enclosed trailer is limited, while rear barn doors can also be utilised as an additional storage option by adding elements such as hooks or racks.
Keep your kit and equipment and stock safe and secure
Enclosed trailers are an ideal solution for tradies, builders, landscapers or anyone who uses valuable equipment or tools as part of their work. As an enclosed trailer is constructed with a strong back door (or rear barn doors) and can have flush locks fitted, it provides a secure storage option on site, at the workshop or at home.
Enclosed trailers also offer superior security against theft compared to open trailers. Provided you take the appropriate steps to protect your trailer from being stolen, an enclosed trailer can help to prevent your business being disrupted as a result of kit or tools being damaged or stolen in a break in.
Tandem axle enclosed trailers protect your load and help you tow more safely
When you are carrying goods or equipment in an enclosed trailer, you limit the risk of damage from hazardous road conditions, dirt and dust, and inclement weather. It also means there is no chance of shedding the load as can happen with a box or cage trailer.
This added level of protection is especially useful when you are frequently on the move, travelling long distances, or towing over difficult terrain in locations where there is potential for loads to become dislodged.
Use an enclosed trailer for promoting your business
One of the things that adds value to an enclosed trailer is that it also provides a unique opportunity for promoting your business. They can serve as mobile billboards for local businesses when a logo or business name is added to the side and provide a professional appearance for business transport. This gives you a free, mobile advertising space that can potentially reach large numbers of people whenever you are on the road.
