Enclosed Cargo Trailers in Lafayette
Lafayette's enclosed trailers are working trailers: HVAC, electrical and plumbing crews lock their tools in a 6x12 or 7x14 and park it at the job off Ambassador Caffery instead of unloading the truck every night; oilfield-service outfits along the Thruway run tandem tool trailers to the yards in Broussard and Scott; and the vendor crowd builds out 7x16s for Festival International, the Cajundome shows and every fall festival from Scott to Breaux Bridge. Being five minutes from downtown means you can measure the door opening against your gear before you buy.
An enclosed cargo trailer is a rolling garage: your tools stay dry, locked and out of sight, and the side-by-side, the moving load or the vendor booth rides through the weather without being in the weather. Sizes run from a 5x8 single axle you can pull with a mid-size SUV to an 8.5x24 tandem car hauler, and the choice usually comes down to two questions: what has to fit through the door, and what does your truck pull.
A 6x12 single axle is the most popular trailer we sell. It swallows a full contractor setup or a side-by-side and still tows behind a half-ton. Contractors who carry a generator, compressors and racks usually land on a 7x16 tandem with a ramp door. Past 7x16 you want tandem axles with brakes, and by 8.5x20 you are in three-quarter-ton territory. On the lot, look at the floor and wall thickness, the roof (one-piece aluminum beats seams), the ramp door spring rating, LED lights, and whether the frame is steel tube or a lighter channel.
We carry Rock Solid, Wells Cargo and Falcon enclosed trailers: Rock Solid for the strongest value in a tube-frame trailer, Wells Cargo when you want the premium build, and Falcon, which we can factory-order when the budget is the deciding factor. Parked on the lot today: Rock Solid and Wells Cargo. The grid below is the live inventory from our Lafayette lot. Financing & rent-to-own available.

Questions
The 6x12 single axle is the workhorse: big enough for a side-by-side or a full tool setup, light enough for a half-ton truck or a full-size SUV. Contractors usually land on a 7x16 tandem, and car haulers and race teams go 8.5x20 or 8.5x24.
Single axle (5x8 through 7x14) is lighter, cheaper and easier to move by hand. Tandem axles add a second set of brakes and a lot more payload, and they track better on the interstate. If the trailer will carry more than about 2,500 lb of cargo, or you plan to run it to Houston and back, go tandem.
A 6x12 single axle loaded weighs around 3,000 lb, which most half-ton trucks and full-size SUVs handle easily. A 7x16 tandem loaded runs 5,000 to 7,000 lb, still half-ton territory with a brake controller. An 8.5x20 car hauler with a car inside pushes 9,000 lb or more and wants a three-quarter-ton. Run our free towing check on the site or call 337-504-3820 and read us the sticker on your door jamb.
A ramp door is the answer for anything with wheels: side-by-sides, mowers, motorcycles, carts. Barn doors give you a flat rear and a wider opening for pallets and moving furniture, and they are easier to open in a tight spot. Most contractor trailers on our lot come with a ramp door plus a side entry door.
Yes. Financing & rent-to-own available on every enclosed trailer we sell: bank financing, fast decisions through our lender network, and rent-to-own programs. Call 337-504-3820 or text 337-279-2620 and we will tell you which program fits.
Please do. Pull the side-by-side or the tool racks up to 2601 SE Evangeline Thruway and we will open the ramp door on the unit you are looking at so you can measure the opening and the floor length against what you actually haul. Hours are Mon-Fri 8-5 and Saturday 8-12.
Yes, and it is free. Every trailer we sell delivers free within 50 miles of our Lafayette lot, which covers all of Lafayette Parish and most of Acadiana. Usually the same or next business day; or hook up at the lot and tow it home today.
