Summer is here and it's time to head out and enjoy the sunshine. Sounds great - until you're trying to pack up all the essentials and realize somebody's going to be holding a raft of pool noodles in the back seat or the kids need a little more personal space to keep the peace on the way to the campground. And what about that big holiday weekend sale at the tractor supply store? Your new riding lawnmower is great for keeping the lawn looking gorgeous, but you can't drive it all the way home. 

So what's the solution? Easy: You need a trailer.

ALCOM all-aluminum enclosed cargo trailers are the answer to the age-old question of "how are we supposed to get all this stuff over there?" They're available in sizes from a compact, haul-it-with-your-Outback 4'x6' all the way up to a mega 8.5'x20' trailer for full-size pickup truck drivers. If you're still on the fence about this kind of investment, take a look at all the ways your enclosed aluminum cargo trailer saves the day.    

Day Trips 

Taking a day trip but can't fit all your family's gear in the back of the SUV? An aluminum cargo trailer solves your problem, whatever you're trying to transport. Inner tubes, a cooler, life jackets and a camp grill? Load it up! Bicycles for everyone? Skip the bike rack. Fishing gear for half the family and kayaks for the others? Those will fit, too. If your trailer is big enough, it'll even haul dirt bikes and ATVs. 

Choose wall- and floor-mounted airline or E-track for versatile sliding tie-down options that don't crowd your cargo space and configure easily for whatever the day holds. Upgrade with interior lights, an electrical package, or cabinets for even more options.    

Camping Trips

Use an enclosed cargo trailer to haul tents, gear, and your sweet new camp grill -- or turn it into a DIY aluminum trailer camper. Either way, the aluminum cargo trailer has you covered for camping.

Beyond a few basic "must-haves" for sleeping inside a trailer (don't forget ventilation, lights, a smoke/carbon monoxide detector, and your preferred camp bedding), the rest is up to you. Keep your trailer simple for the most cargo hauling versatility year-round, or build as elaborate an interior as you can imagine.   

Road Trips

Hitting the road for a summer spent exploring national parks? Spending the summer at camp and have more stuff to bring than space in the bed of your truck? Moving your kid into their college dorm a few states away?

Aluminum cargo trailers are built for times like these! With clever tie-down options, organization upgrades, and plenty of open space, a cargo trailer with a spring-assisted rear ramp door takes so much hassle out of hauling.
