Keeping Cargo from Moving and Shifting in Enclosed Trailer
Question:
I have a 5foot X 10foot enclosed trailer and I use to transport loads under the weight limit but the road vibration and bumps cause the load to come off the pallet every time. I looking to cushion the load. The trailer is a 2013 CarryOn

Adding trailer suspension enhancement such as # TTRA1702 can definitely help with ride quality but I think the best solution to keep loads on the pallet is some cargo control devices.
You could start with a cargo net, I have included a link to the various sizes we carry. A cargo net is a simple solution to secure a large group of items with one device.
You can also get some E-Track, # E19148, and attach them to the sides of the trailer. Then use some D-Ring tie downs, # E59143, and ratchet straps, # EM31352, to secure the pallet or other items loaded in the trailer. With all of these items, those loads won't go anywhere!
