Cargo trailer: all you need to know

A cargo trailer is the perfect solution for handling internal goods. Widely used by hospitals, railways, hotels, and airports for transporting luggage, they are perfect also for canteens supplying meals to large companies or hotels. This special type of trailer offers numerous advantages and allows to transport any type of goods, even special waste. In case of rain or even snow, the goods inside a cargo trailer remain perfectly dry and can be moved safely from one place to another.

What is a cargo trailer?

A cargo trailer is a vehicle towed by a tractor unit through special systems (industrial tractor). It is equipped with a front towing hitch and a rear towing hook, used respectively to connect the trailer to the tractor unit and to form a convoy composed of several units. Especially in large companies, cargo trailers can be joined together to create a mechanically towed convoy for the transport of several materials. A cargo trailer offers the possibility of covering goods or people to be transported safely.

Types of cargo trailers

Among the various trailers, cargo trailers can be divided in:

  • Garbage trailers
  • Containers
  • Catering trailers
  • Pallet trailers
  • Industrial trailers
  • Hospital trailers
  • Passenger trailers
  • Luggage and suitcase trailers 

Garbage trailers are constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, as well as liquid-tight platforms, and equipped with discharge devices that can also be used for handling special waste. A sliding or hinged door can be used to close this specific type of trailer. 

Cargo trailers include closed trailers for hospitals, but also closed van trailers suitable for transit in railway stations. There is a wide range of trailers with containers, available also with aluminum or stainless steel panels suitable for transporting loose or packaged material. 

Cargo trailers can satisfy every need and can be used in many different fields, from hospitals to hotels, from railways to airports, passing through the world of industry and catering. In the catering industry, the cargo trailers can be equipped with materials and finishes suitable for containing food and liquids, as well as for maintaining the cold chain, thanks to insulated or refrigerated containers. Hospital trailers are designed for handling various materials. They are designed specifically for materials coming from laboratories, pharmacies, but also from kitchens, as well as for infectious and special waste.
