3 Accessories You Need for Your Cargo Trailer

Cargo trailers are some of the few models on the market that don’t make use of an open bed layout. Because of their unique design, many trailer accessories and equipment that are useful for flatbed or open models, don’t work well with cargo trailers. Thankfully, there are still a number of other helpful accessories out there created specifically for cargo trailers, a few of which we’ve listed below! 

Cargo Net

Because you’re expected to stack the freight in your cargo trailer to prevent it from slipping and sliding, these models rarely come with tie-down anchors or places to attach straps and cords. As a result, smaller or single items will often go flying as you tow your trailer, and end up being damaged during the drive. Thankfully, to prevent this catastrophe, you can simply purchase a convenient cargo net to keep all of your items exactly where they need to be as you drive. 

Moving Blankets 

If you’re carrying incredibly fragile cargo, even minuscule movements or bumps in your trailer can damage your items. When transporting sensitive freight with your cargo trailer, we strongly recommend first wrapping your items in thick durable moving blankets. These handy sheets come in a variety of shapes and sizes and will have no trouble protecting even your most delicate items from damage. 

Sway Bars 

Sway bars are a towing tool that helps reduce the movement of a trailer as you tow it. This is especially handy for cargo trailers, as their tall walls and roofing make them very prone to sway during high winds or sudden sharp movements. If you have a cargo trailer, we strongly advise purchasing a handy set of tow bars to decrease the possibility that your trailer ever turns over.
