There are a number of places one can find an enclosed cargo trailer depending on where one is located. These can often be found in the magazine Trailer Shopper or on the magazine website. They can also be found on Ebay.
A flatbed trailer is one of the most versatile trailers used in the freight industry. Its main purpose is to haul oversized freight, equipment, machinery, or any other type of cargo that will not fit inside a dry van enclosed trailer. The cargo can be placed on the long flat bed of the trailer and strapped and secured down for transport. The most desirable part of this trailer is the ability to load the cargo from the sides or back using a forklift, or even a crane depending on the type of cargo being loaded.
Used cargo trailers can be purchased from many places. Among them are eBay, Meijer, USA Cargo Trailer Sales, Safer Wholesale, Trailer Shopper, and Trailers Showroom.

Purchasing a used cargo trailer can save a tremendous amount of money for an individual or a business. The following tips will ensure finding the best trailer at the best price. First, decide what kind of cargo trailer is needed. There are flat bed trailers and enclosed trailers. The enclosed trailers offer protection for cargo, while flat beds allow materials to be stacked higher. Items need to be covered or tied down in the flat bed. Enclosed trailers can be painted with the seller's individual tastes, or with company logos. The flat bed trailer can be enclosed later if needed, but at an added cost. Second, research what new trailers are selling for in the area. Knowing what the new price is will help garner a bargain when purchasing used. Third, inspect the trailer carefully. Rotten wood flooring can be replaced. Lift the wood or crawl under the trailer to inspect the metal bracing. Bring a flashlight and look at the welds. Look for rust, signs of warped metal or broken parts. A trailer that has been in an accident will never work right. Inspect the brakes thoroughly. Test the trailer lights and inspect the hitch in detail. Look at the tires. They should be rated for the type of load to be carried and the correct size for the trailer. Ask the load rating of the axle, especially if the axle looks new. Forth, ensure the seller has clear title to the trailer. Trying to obtain a lost title is difficult to impossible in many states. A good rule of thumb is, "no title, no sale." Fifth, ask to take the trailer to a mechanic's shop for an inspection. The mechanics can perform a closer inspection than most individuals can. If there is any doubt about the load rating of the axel(s), have the mechanic check. If the seller refuses to allow a mechanical inspection, pass on the sale. There are other cargo trailers for sale. Making the purchase of a used cargo trailer should be met with as much diligence as buying new. Buying a trailer that needs no repair is far more cost effective than buying one that needs rebuilding.
One of the best places to find used cargo trailers is on eBay, as there is a wide range of different products available. One would have to find a product that isn't too far away from them, but due to the massive amounts of cargo trailers being sold, that would not be very hard. One can also buy used cargo trailers from their local trailer store, which can be found in the Yellow Pages.
Depending what you plan to do with the trailer, I always use U-haul trailer rental. There is one in Orleans, MA. That is just like 5 miles away from you.
