Which Trailer Should You Buy for Your Business?

We're not a one-size-fits-all cargo trailer company. In fact, we differentiate ourselves from the competition by specializing in custom-built trailers for a variety of uses. We are especially skilled at helping our customers find the perfect trailer solution to their business' unique needs. Depending on what type of service you provide, your cargo trailer needs will be different. That's where we can make suggestions, review upgrade options and quote you a price based on your precise specifications.

In today's post, we'll take a look at three examples of how we could match one of our products with your business. So, which trailer should you buy for your business?

Car Shipping/Transport Service

Let's say you run a growing car shipping service. You work with car dealerships all over the country. Your company transports their inventory between various locations, and therefore your drivers are travel long distances and are exposed to all kinds of weather. For this type of business, you'll likely need something that is large, lightweight and offers great stability on the road. Our All Aluminum Cargo Trailers would be a great place to start looking for what you need. These trailers feature all-aluminum frames, which make them lighter than their steel-framed counterparts. This enables them to haul heavier equipment without going over the legal gross vehicle weight.

Featured Product: 6 x 12 Enclosed Trailer with Tandem Axle

This month's featured product from The Trailer Showroom is the smaller yet versatile 6 x 12 tandem axle enclosed trailer from our McGregor, Texas facility.

About the 6 x 12 Tandem Axle Enclosed Trailer

Made right here in the USA, this customizable cargo trailer could be ideal for hauling professional equipment, moving personal items, or transporting small vehicles such as motorcycles and ATVs. Made from quality materials and priced very reasonably at less than $4,000, the 6 x 12 tandem axle enclosed trailer can help you safely haul whatever cargo you need without burdening you with excessive debt. Plus, this enclosed trailer features a 5 year manufacturer's limited warranty for added peace of mind.

Single Axle, Tandem Axle...What's the Difference?

If you're considering the purchase of a new, custom-built cargo trailer, you may be wondering what type of axle is best for your needs. The two basic options are the single axle and the double (tandem) axle. So what are the differences between these two axle types? Does the axle type affect trailer performance? Is one more expensive than the other? We'll answer these questions below as we explore the differences between single and tandem trailer axles.

Single Axle

First, let's talk about the singe axle option for you custom cargo trailer. A single axle trailer, as the name implies, has just one axle with one wheel connected to each end. The single axle is connected to the trailer either via the springs or is fixed directly to the trailer bed with clamps or some other type of supporting hardware.

Featured Product - Concession Trailer

Winter may still be here, but spring is just around the corner.  You know what that means: All across the country, folks will be visiting fairs and festivals, eager to quench their thirst and satisfy their cravings for street food, sweet treats and more. Whether you are a concessions vendor or food truck operator who would like to upgrade your operation, or someone who's contemplating starting such a business, TrailerShowroom.com can help.

One of the best things about our business--other than the fact that all of our products are American-made--is our nearly limitless ability to customize your end product so it meets your unique set of specifications.

Customer Testimonials

Picked my trailer today. Perfect fall driving weather. Easy to pick out among the big ones. Only one glitch was one exterior led light didn't work. Even though lunch hour at factory, quality control gal got a technician who had it fixed in 5 minutes. It is exactly what I thought it would be.

I purchased a 24 foot enclosed Continental Cargo trailer last October (2014) online from Trailer Showroom and am very pleased with the whole experience. The trailer was built and completed on time and workmanship was superb. An issue with the tires was corrected immediately; Trailer Showroom sent me four new replacement tires/wheels at no charge and no further questions asked. I have been using this trailer daily since mid-October without a single problem. Highly recommend Trailer Showroom.
