Serving Lake Charles, Louisiana
About 76 miles west on I-10, Lake Charles buyers drive in for a trailer they can actually walk around before they pay for it.
Enclosed Cargo Trailers Near Lake Charles
Enclosed trailers in Lake Charles ride the I-10 and I-210 loop every morning: welders and instrument crews with a locked 7x14 tool trailer headed into the Westlake and Sulphur plants, restoration contractors still working storm roofs, and the vendors that set up on the lakefront and at the Contraband Days grounds. If your trailer sleeps outside near the coast, the roof seams and the floor treatment matter more than the sticker price, and that is what you come to Lafayette to look at.
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.

Enclosed Cargo Trailers Near Lake Charles
Lake Charles trailers work hard: the petrochemical and LNG corridor from Westlake to Sulphur to Cameron keeps contractors, welders and pipeline crews hauling tool trailers and equipment along I-10 and I-210, and the rebuild that followed Hurricanes Laura and Delta put a dump trailer behind half the pickup trucks in Calcasieu Parish. Add the duck leases and fishing camps on the Sabine and Calcasieu, the rice country out toward Iowa and Jennings, and the crawfish-boil and festival circuit downtown, and there is a reason folks make the 75-minute drive to Lafayette for a bigger selection they can walk around. It is about 75 minutes straight down I-10 to our lot on the Evangeline Thruway.

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.
Drive over if you want to see the roof seams, the floor and the ramp door spring on the actual unit and compare a few sizes side by side; our lot is about 75 minutes east on I-10, and pickup is free. Prefer to have it brought to you? Delivery to Lake Charles is $3 per loaded mile past the free 50-mile zone, about 26 miles, and we give you the number before you commit.
