Crate of beer as cargo I recently bought a two wheel cargo-trailer without suspension, and I am quite happy with it. My main issue is that it gets incredibly loud when carrying a crate of beer, especially an empty one. Is there a trick to keep the noise down? I tried to wrap the crate in towels, but it does not really help. **Edit** Cardboard-dividers did not change a lot, compared to my towels. They did look pretty cheap, there might be better ones. Tilting the crate 30 degrees in the trailer however, reduced the noise level substantially.

If the problem is the bottles clanking into each other, don't put the crate in flat but somehow tilt it at a 30 degree angle or so, so that gravity holds the bottles against each other. Then wedge your towels into the high end of the crate to keep the bottles from bouncing.
