Enclosed Cargo Trailers
Enclosed cargo trailers protect your gear from weather, theft, and road debris. We offer single and tandem axle configurations, with lengths typically ranging from 6 to 28 feet.
Key options include:
- Single axle – suited for lighter loads up to 3,500 lbs
- Tandem axle – handles heavier cargo up to 10,000+ lbs
- V-nose designs – improved aerodynamics and fuel efficiency
Utility and Equipment Trailers
Utility trailers are one of our most versatile trailer sales categories. They handle everything from landscaping equipment and ATVs to skid steers and construction machinery.
Type | Common Length | Capacity Range |
|---|---|---|
Open utility | 10–20 ft | 3,500–7,000 lbs |
Equipment/ flatbed | 16–40 ft | 10,000–25,000 lbs |
Deck-over | 16–44 ft | 14,000–25,000 lbs |
Dump and Tilt Trailers
Dump trailers and tilt trailers are built for jobs that require frequent loading and unloading. Dump trailers use hydraulic lifts capable of handling 7,000 to 14,000 lbs depending on the model.
Tilt trailers are a strong choice for loading low-clearance equipment like zero-turn mowers or small skid loaders. No external ramps needed — the deck angle does the work.
Both types are available with:
- Mesh or solid steel floors
- Scissor-lift or cylinder hydraulics
- Single or tandem axles

I picked up a heavy-duty equipment trailer from Spokane Precision Trailers last spring, and it has been an absolute workhorse on my construction sites ever since. The team walked me through every option without any pressure, and they made sure I understood exactly what I was getting before I drove off the lot. The trailer was inspected top to bottom, brakes, lights, welds, all of it, and it showed. Two seasons in and not a single issue. These guys know their stuff and they back it up.

We needed an enclosed cargo trailer for our mobile catering setup and had no idea where to start. The folks at Spokane Precision Trailers were patient, knowledgeable, and never once made us feel rushed. They helped us find a unit that fit our budget and our workflow perfectly. Loading and unloading has been seamless every weekend since. Honestly one of the best buying experiences I have had, trailer or otherwise.

I drove over from Coeur d'Alene after a friend recommended Spokane Precision Trailers, and the trip was well worth it. I was looking for a car hauler for transporting a project vehicle, and they had exactly what I needed in stock. No hidden fees, no runaround, just straightforward pricing and a trailer that was road-ready when I hooked it up. I have already referred two guys from my shop over there.

My husband and I picked up a utility trailer for weekend hauling, yard debris, landscaping runs, that kind of thing. We are not trailer people by any means, but the team at Spokane Precision Trailers made the whole process easy to understand. They explained the safety checks they do on every unit, which gave us a lot of confidence, and the price was fair and upfront from the start. It has been a game-changer for our property work. We will definitely be back when we are ready to upgrade.
Trailer Buying FAQs in Spokane, WA
We offer utility trailers, enclosed trailers, flatbed trailers, dump trailers, equipment trailers, and car haulers. Every build uses reinforced frames, quality axles, and components selected for long-term performance rather than short-term cost savings.
The three most common categories we see for both residential and commercial use are:
- Utility trailers – frequently used for landscaping, hauling debris, and light equipment
- Enclosed trailers – popular with contractors, mobile businesses, and anyone needing weather-protected cargo storage
- Flatbed trailers – widely used in agriculture, construction, and general freight hauling
Our trailers are built in the United States. The manufacturing process prioritizes structural integrity, with welded steel frames, corrosion-resistant coatings, and components that meet or exceed federal safety standards. Before any trailer leaves our facility, we conduct thorough inspections covering brakes, lights, tires, welds, couplers, and overall road-readiness. Nothing ships until it passes.
In Washington State, trailers with a gross weight over 2,000 pounds must be registered with the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL). Trailers under that threshold are exempt from registration but may still require a title depending on the transaction type.
A trailer generally cannot be registered in Washington without a title. If a title is missing, buyers must apply for a bonded title through the DOL, which involves a surety bond valued at 1.5 times the trailer's assessed value.
We carry utility trailers in a wide range of sizes, typically from 5x8 feet up to 7x16 feet for single-axle models. Tandem-axle utility trailers extend those dimensions further, with payload capacities commonly ranging from 1,995 pounds to 7,000 pounds depending on axle configuration and frame rating.
Our staff helps buyers identify the right size based on actual use rather than upselling to a larger model. Payload ratings, tongue weight limits, and GVWR are clearly disclosed so customers know exactly what they are purchasing.
We carry enclosed trailers in both single- and tandem-axle configurations. Common interior heights range from 5.5 feet to 7 feet, with lengths typically spanning 8 to 24 feet.
Customers shopping for enclosed trailers most often compare brands such as Pace American, Wells Cargo, and Look Trailers. These three brands appear consistently in buyer research due to their availability, warranty coverage, and build reputation.
We do carry used trailers, and each one goes through our inspection process before it is listed for sale. Buyers evaluating any used trailer — from us or elsewhere — should prioritize the following points:
- Frame and welds – look for cracks, rust penetration, or poorly repaired welds
- Coupler and safety chains – check for wear, locking function, and proper chain length
- Brakes and wiring – verify brake function, test all lights, and inspect the wiring harness for corrosion or splice damage
- Tires and wheels – check tread depth, sidewall cracking, and lug torque
- Floor condition – wood decking should show no soft spots, rot, or fastener pull-through
- Title status – confirm the title is clean and the VIN matches the plate
Utility Trailer Safety Guide: Tips for Every Trip
Towing a trailer is a routine task for homeowners, contractors, and businesses, whether it's for transporting equipment, landscaping materials, recreational gear, or other valuable cargo. No matter the type of trailer you use, making safety a priority is essential. A properly maintained and correctly loaded trailer helps reduce the risk of accidents, protects your cargo, and keeps everyone on the road safer. This guide covers a practical utility trailer safety checklist along with essential towing tips to help you inspect, load, and tow your trailer with confidence every time you hit the road.
Why Utility Trailer Safety Matters
Before reviewing the safety checklist, it's important to understand why trailer safety is so essential. Utility trailers are designed to transport heavy equipment, tools, landscaping materials, and other valuable cargo, making proper preparation critical before every trip. Failing to inspect your trailer, secure your load, or follow safe towing practices can increase the risk of accidents, vehicle damage, cargo loss, and injuries. Taking the time to perform routine safety checks and follow recommended towing procedures helps protect your investment, improves road safety, and gives you greater confidence every time you tow.
Utility Trailer Inspection Checklist
Performing a thorough inspection before every trip is one of the most effective ways to prevent breakdowns, accidents, and costly repairs. Taking just a few minutes to inspect your utility trailer can help identify potential problems before they become safety hazards. Use the following checklist to ensure your trailer is road-ready before every tow.
1. Tires and Wheels
- Check that all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
- Inspect each tire for cuts, cracks, bulges, punctures, or uneven tread wear.
- Verify that all lug nuts are tightened to the proper torque specification.
- Examine the wheels and rims for bends, cracks, rust, or other signs of damage.
2. Lights and Electrical System
- Test all trailer lights, including brake lights, turn signals, running lights, and hazard lights.
- Inspect the wiring harness and electrical connector for corrosion, loose connections, or damaged wiring.
- Replace any burned-out bulbs or repair faulty wiring before towing.
- Confirm that all lights are clearly visible and operating correctly.
3. Braking System
- Test the trailer brakes to ensure they engage and release properly.
- Check the brake fluid level (if applicable) and refill as needed.
- Inspect brake pads, shoes, drums, or rotors for excessive wear or damage.
- Verify that the breakaway brake system is functioning correctly if your trailer is equipped with one.
4. Hitch and Coupler
- Make sure the hitch ball, coupler, and locking latch are securely connected.
- Confirm the hitch is the correct size and rated for your trailer's weight.
- Lubricate the coupler and hitch components as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Inspect for signs of wear, rust, cracks, or other damage that could affect safe towing.
5. Safety Chains
- Attach both safety chains securely to the tow vehicle.
- Cross the chains underneath the trailer tongue to help catch it if the coupler disconnects.
- Ensure the chains have enough slack for turning but do not drag on the ground.
- Replace worn or damaged chains immediately.
6. Trailer Body and Cargo
- Inspect the trailer frame, deck, fenders, and body for cracks, rust, loose bolts, or structural damage.
- Secure all cargo with appropriate straps, chains, or tie-downs to prevent shifting during transport.
- Distribute the load evenly to maintain proper tongue weight and towing stability.
- Never exceed the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or payload capacity.
Proper Utility Trailer Loading and Weight Distribution
Correctly loading your utility trailer is one of the most important steps in preventing trailer sway, improving handling, and maintaining safe towing conditions. A balanced load reduces stress on your trailer and tow vehicle while helping you maintain control throughout your trip.
- Place the heaviest cargo directly over or slightly in front of the trailer axle(s) to maintain proper tongue weight.
- Distribute weight evenly from side to side to keep the trailer balanced.
- Avoid placing too much weight at the front or rear of the trailer, as this can affect steering and stability.
- Secure all cargo with high-quality ratchet straps, chains, or tie-downs to prevent shifting during transport.
- Never exceed the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the towing capacity of your vehicle.
Safe Trailer Towing Practices
Safe towing requires preparation, patience, and defensive driving. Following these best practices can help reduce the risk of accidents and improve control while towing your utility trailer.
1. Speed and Following Distance
- Drive at a safe, moderate speed and obey posted towing speed limits where applicable.
- Increase your following distance to allow extra time for braking and emergency maneuvers.
- Remember that a loaded trailer requires a longer stopping distance than your tow vehicle alone.
2. Lane Positioning
- Travel in the right lane whenever possible, except when passing.
- Allow extra space when changing lanes and always signal well in advance.
- Stay aware of your trailer's position in your mirrors throughout the trip.
3. Turning and Maneuvering
- Make wide turns to prevent the trailer wheels from striking curbs or obstacles.
- Accelerate and brake gradually to avoid sudden trailer movement.
- Practice backing up and maneuvering your trailer in an open parking lot before towing in busy areas.
4. Hills and Steep Grades
- Shift into a lower gear when climbing or descending steep hills to improve vehicle control.
- Use engine braking whenever possible to reduce wear on your brakes.
- If equipped, apply the trailer brakes smoothly to help maintain a safe, controlled speed on downhill grades.
5. Wind and Weather Conditions
- Slow down when driving in strong crosswinds, heavy rain, snow, or icy conditions.
- Keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel and be prepared for sudden gusts of wind.
- If weather conditions become unsafe, pull over in a secure location and wait until it is safe to continue your trip.
Utility Trailer Maintenance and Regular Inspections
Routine maintenance is essential for extending the life of your utility trailer and ensuring safe, reliable towing. Performing regular inspections helps identify potential problems before they become costly repairs or safety hazards.
1. Tire Maintenance
- Check tire pressure before every trip and keep it within the manufacturer's recommended range.
- Inspect tires for uneven tread wear, cracks, punctures, or sidewall damage.
- Rotate tires as recommended to promote even wear.
- Replace tires that show excessive wear, dry rot, or other signs of deterioration.
2. Brake System Maintenance

- Check brake pads, shoes, drums, and rotors for excessive wear.
- Bleed the brake lines and replace brake fluid when recommended by the manufacturer.

- Clean electrical contacts to ensure a reliable connection with the tow vehicle.
- Replace damaged wiring, connectors, or bulbs as needed.
- Test all trailer lights before every trip to confirm they are working properly.
4. Suspension and Axle Maintenance
- Inspect springs, shackles, bearings, and other suspension components for wear or damage.
- Lubricate moving parts according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
- Check wheel bearings for proper lubrication and replace worn bearings when necessary.
- Verify axle alignment and inspect the axle for signs of bending or structural damage.
5. Overall Trailer Inspection
- Examine the trailer frame, deck, fenders, coupler, safety chains, and hardware for rust, cracks, loose fasteners, or other damage.
- Tighten loose bolts and replace damaged or worn components immediately.
- Keep the trailer clean and free of debris that can trap moisture and promote corrosion.
- Schedule routine maintenance to help ensure your trailer remains safe, dependable, and ready for every haul.
