Pricing Information

This small yet efficient cargo trailer is priced very reasonably at $2,585. When placing your order, a deposit of $300 will be required, with the remainder to be paid upon pickup or delivery.

Pickup and Delivery

All of our aluminum cargo trailers are manufactured and available for pickup from our Elkhart, Indiana facility.

We also have locations in multiple states across the country, making it fairly easy to pick up your custom cargo trailer; however, we may not offer all trailer models in all locations. While we can arrange for delivery, we rely on third party companies for this service and are at the mercy of their rates. Most of our customers find it more affordable to simply come pick up their trailers themselves. 

Our Locations

We have pickup locations in Douglas, GA; McGregor, TX; Elkhart, IN and Independence, OR. If we do not have a pickup location within reasonable driving distance to you, we will be happy to discuss delivery options.
