Default what could go on a car trailer besides a car

hi

was wondering what else could you put on a car trailer to make it worth hiring one.

reason for asking is was going to hire one to take some car body parts from one place to other but not going to have time.

do have to get some steel for drawbar on trailer and will be too long for a normal trailer so might hire one for that.

have thought of carting the lengths rhs steel for trailer drawbar on car trailer so theres nothing poking out

is there anything else you can use a car trailer to carry to be worth hiring one or can you just hire one for a few hours and not carry anything just to get idea of it

thanks for any help

It might be cheaper and quicker to just pay a tow truck to deliver the steel?

You could put an ad in the paper to see if anyone needs their car trailer moved and then hire a car trailer to put it on and charge them the cost of the hire. That way you would effectively get the use of one for free - maybe even make a profit if you can find a couple of people who need their car trailer moved

Yes trailer good, but may be can do, when hire.

Big wheels will be good but may be can when the boss does but may be horse will do with lcd tv tomorrow.

Caravan will be good, may be helicopter can fly with dog for week end but only if lap top.
