What You Should Never Haul in Your Trailer

Owning a trailer means that you have a versatile way to transport all kinds of cargo, from power tools to furniture to food to antiques. However, you can’t carry everything in your trailer. There are some items that are simply too unsafe to haul without special licenses or vehicles to carry them. Here are the items you’ll want to avoid hauling in your own trailer.

1. Live Animals

Carrying live animals in a cargo trailer is deeply unsafe, no matter how convenient it might seem. You need a special livestock trailer with stalls and ventilation in order to carry live animals around to avoid them sustaining injury or illness.

2. Heavy Machinery

Large machines, like tractors and front-end loaders, are not to be carried in a typical trailer, even if it’s big enough to hold them. These machines need special trailers that are designed for this purpose.

3. Hazardous Materials

Corrosive chemicals, oils, gasoline, and propane should not be hauled in a cargo trailer. These items could tip over or their containers could become damaged in transit, causing a potential fire or the buildup of noxious fumes in your trailer.
