How Much Does an Enclosed Cargo Trailer Cost?
Enclosed cargo trailers run $2,995 to $12,995, with most standard 6x12 to 7x14 models priced around $7,995.
An enclosed cargo trailer commands more than an open utility model because of its fully welded steel frame, walls, and roof -- which shield your load and let you lock everything up like mobile storage. The biggest drivers of price are box length, interior height, and axle count.
Price by type
| Type | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Compact enclosed cargo (4x6 to 5x8) | $2,995–$4,500 | Small lockable box for tools, motorcycles, or light equipment. |
| Standard enclosed cargo (6x12) | $4,500–$7,995 | The most popular size for contractors and small business cargo hauling. |
| Large enclosed cargo (7x14 to 7x16) | $7,995–$10,500 | Taller interior and tandem axles for larger equipment or multiple items. |
| Extended/high-capacity enclosed cargo | $10,500–$12,995 | Longest box lengths and highest GVWR for commercial and full-load hauling. |
What affects the price
Box length and height
Longer, taller boxes need more material and raise price throughout the range.
Axle count
Single-axle trailers sit at the lower end; tandem axles add capacity and cost for larger boxes.
Ramp door vs barn doors
A rear ramp door for driving equipment in and out costs more than simple barn-style swing doors.
Interior features
Shelving, e-track tie-downs, and extra roof vents add to the base trailer price.
Delivery
Delivery is quoted separately at checkout based on distance and site access -- it's not included above.
Bottom line
For the majority of contractor and small-business jobs, a standard 6x12 enclosed cargo trailer in the $4,500-$7,995 range does the job. Size up only when you're hauling equipment that calls for a ramp door or added interior height.
Shop Enclosed Cargo TrailersCost FAQs
Why do enclosed cargo trailers cost more than open utility trailers?
By wrapping a fully framed box -- walls, roof, and lockable doors -- around the load, enclosed trailers guard cargo against weather and theft. That protection comes at the cost of extra material and labor compared with the open deck of a utility trailer.
What size enclosed trailer is most popular?
The 6x12 remains the go-to size for contractors and small businesses moving tools and equipment, generally running from $4,500 to $7,995.
Does a ramp door cost extra on an enclosed trailer?
Handy for rolling equipment straight in and out, ramp doors are usually found on mid- to large-size trailers and push toward the upper end of the $2,995-$12,995 range relative to simpler barn-door setups.
