Guide to Container Trailers

Consider what the trailer needs to hold

The container trailer you need when you're hauling bricks and the one that serves as a satellite office vary greatly in size, construction and load capacity. If you think about your specific needs, you can find the best container trailer for you.

I recommend: Review a variety of container trailers, checking out makes and models that meet your needs at Rock and Dirt, then locate the companies that make them at the site's Company Locator. Also take a few minutes to browse through Allstate Container's frequently asked questions before buying a containers trailer.

Go new, used or rented

Whether you buy new, find a deal on used storage trailers or simply rent is determined largely by how long you'll need the container trailers and what you need them for. Examine storage trailer pricing and rental fees before you make your decision.

I recommend: Browse through some container trailer listings at TruckertoTrucker.com to find a high-quality used container trailer, then read through their handy financing tips. Or, consider renting a trailer from KCV Trailer Rentals.

Determine what's going to pull your container trailer

Whether you're hauling cargo with your own pick-up truck, or you have a heavy-duty hauling semi, you'll need to make sure it can handle the load you're towing.

I recommend: Look into a sturdy trailer hitch if you're towing the trailer container with a personal vehicle, or simply have your container trailer delivered, if you get a trailer container from Allstate Container.
