It's a 14' utility trailer.
What does it haul? That's what you need to base it off.
If I was hauling a sxs, I'd toss a Milwaukee ratchet set in, some 2k ratchet straps, some 2k zip straps, some axle straps, and I'm done.
For a mower or sxs even if it's dead you can alternate decent quality ratchet straps back and forth to pull a dead one up without carrying a come-a-long. Unless you're using it regularly the come-a-long sucks ass. Mine has been hanging gathering dust for years.
My 25' goose tilt deck has piles of 3k, 6k, and 9k ratchet straps, 5/16 and 3/8 transport chain, and 8 binders. I've pulled a dead truck onto it just alternating binders on a chain. Slow as hell but it got the job done the 1 time I needed to in 10 years.
The goose hauls skid steers, mini ex's and trenchers; along with random pallets and generators.
Whereas my enclosed just has straps for dirt bikes and snowmobiles. Doesn't need anything else.
I toss a floor jack and a few 2x's in the bed of the truck whenever I hook onto a trailer. M18 impact with a 12.0 battery and impact sockets live in the truck 100% of the time.

If you're putting anything of value in it, a heavy duty hasp and a quality lock, rather than the POS wafer lock it probably came with that anyone with youtube can open in 15 seconds.
