How Much Does an Enclosed Cargo Trailer Cost?
Enclosed cargo trailers cost $2,995 to $12,995, with most standard 6x12 to 7x14 models priced around $7,995.
Enclosed cargo trailers cost more than open utility trailers because of their fully welded steel frame, walls, and roof, which protect cargo and enable secure lock-up storage. Price increases mainly with 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 require 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, not included above.
Bottom line
A standard 6x12 enclosed cargo trailer around $4,500-$7,995 covers most contractor and small-business needs. Go larger only if you need to haul equipment that requires a ramp door or extra interior height.

Why do enclosed cargo trailers cost more than open utility trailers?
Enclosed trailers add a fully framed box with walls, a roof, and lockable doors, which protects cargo from weather and theft but adds material and labor cost compared to an open utility trailer deck.
What size enclosed trailer is most popular?
6x12 trailers, priced roughly $4,500-$7,995, are the most common size for contractors and small businesses hauling tools and equipment.
Does a ramp door cost extra on an enclosed trailer?
Ramp doors, useful for driving equipment straight in and out, are typically found on mid-to-large trailers and factor into the higher end of the $2,995-$12,995 range compared to simpler barn-door models.
