Looking to make loading, towing, and securing cargo in your trailer even more efficient? Then you’ll want to read through our helpful list of cargo trailer accessories below. With the help of these items, you’ll have no trouble hitching up and hitting the road in no time flat!

Towing Accessories

To ensure your safety, your equipment, and your cargo, it's important to have a number of towing accessories on hand before you hit the road. To ensure your cargo trailer never disconnects from your vehicle, even if your hitch were to fail, you’ll want to purchase a set of tow chains, as well as a set of sway bars if you have a model with an enclosed bed.

If you’re worried about your hitch failing for any reason, you’re also welcome to purchase a few small pin locks to help guarantee that your equipment is always safely attached to your tow vehicle. Finally, before you leave the store with your new accessories, don’t forget to grab a helpful wiring harness to connect to your car and cargo trailer, so other drivers can see when you’re stopping or turning.

Cargo Accessories

To keep your cargo safe and sound as you tow your trailer, you’ll need to purchase a few helpful accessories to help keep everything in place. If you don’t already have a few tie-down cords to secure your items with, you’ll want to hurry and buy some before you begin loading up your trailer with freight.

If you’re carrying an extremely heavy item, you may even need a more durable cord, such as a strap and hook or chains, to keep your things in place. While most trailers will include helpful tie-down anchors to attach these cords to, many models are missing these helpful tools, and you may need to install them yourself. Thankfully, cargo trailer anchors are easy to find and only take a few seconds to install.
