Must Have Accessories For Your Cargo Trailer

Just because you bought a cargo trailer doesn't mean you are ready to roll.  There are many accessories that go hand in hand with purchasing a cargo trailer.  Some make life a little easier while others are crucial to the safety and success of your hauling efforts.  Let's take a look at some of the top must have accessories for your cargo trailer.

Trailer Lights

Lights are the most important thing when it comes to safety measures for your trailer.  Most trailers will come equipped with lights, but if not you should get them installed before leaving with your trailer.  Don't rely soley on reflectors to do the job.  If your trailer has its own battery, installing a tailight converter is a great idea.  This allows your brake, turn, and running lights to pull from the trailer's battery and not your tow vehicle.  If you purchased an enclosed trailer, inside lights are very helpful to operate from inside the trailer.  This keeps you from having to use a flashlight while working from inside.

Straps

Straps are important for open cargo trailers but also for enclosed cargo trailers.  Obviously with open cargo trailers your cargo is exposed and needs to be secured as to not fly away while driving or moving side to side which could lead to tumbling out of the trailer.  When it comes to trailer straps there is a variety of options.  You can go with heavy duty chains, bungee style straps, tarp straps, tow ropes, or tow straps.  We can help you decide which one you need.  Just give us a call 1-888-461-3033
