4 Trucks & Trailers for Effective Cargo Management

Purposeful cargo storage is key to boosting jobsite productivity. Proper storage keeps equipment secure from theft, away from elements, and organized for ease of access. Depending on your equipment size, storage requirements, and the type of tools you use on-site, PTR offers a variety of solutions to help you store your cargo efficiently. We’ve compiled a list of 4 units that are great for storing materials, equipment, and cargo.

1. Enclosed Cargo Trailers

Enclosed Cargo Trailers are ideal for transporting smaller machinery and loose materials while keeping them secure and protected from harsh weather and theft. These trailers include 2 entry points with locking abilities that keep equipment and machines safely enclosed. Our line of Enclosed Cargo Trailers can be towed with Pickups, Flatbeds, or Service Body Trucks.

2. Enclosed Service Bodies

Enclosed Service Bodies have internal and external shelving and storage space, great for storing tools, rope, and more. These Class 5 trucks feature lockable external compartments to keep jobsite materials safe and secure. The exterior drawers can have additional custom pull-out drawers and tool storage solutions installed to help assist in on-site organization. In the enclosed bed of this unit, built-in shelving helps keep tools protected from the elements and neatly organized.

3. Open Service Bodies

Open Service Bodies are advantageous to have in your fleet when you need an open bed to transport cargo to and from the job site. The external compartments, like the Enclosed Service Bodies, can have locking toolboxes. This helps keep your tools organized and your valuables safe. PTR offers Class 2, Class 3, and Class 5 Open Service Bodies. These units can also be customized with external toolboxes mounted on the bed or ladder racks for convenient overhead cargo storage.

4. Upfit Flatbeds

Upfit Flatbeds are also great for storing cargo and equipment. You can find these units in Class 2 through 7 and can upfit them with a range of features to meet your specific jobsite needs. Adding above and below body boxes helps maximize storage capacity and J-hooks for organizing rope and stringing gear. Flatbeds can also be upfit with ladder racks for above bed storage and stakesides to keep loose materials contained during transit.

Safe transit and secure storage are critical when moving to and from a job site. Making sure to increase awareness when transporting trailers and jobsite materials is incredibly important when adhering to road safety.

PTR offers a range of ready-to-rent solutions, including Enclosed Cargo Trailers, Enclosed Service Bodies, Open Service Bodies, and Upfit Flatbeds to match your specific jobsite needs.
