Trailer Rental Burnaby

Ride On Rentals handles trailer rental Burnaby jobs with four trailer types ready for pickup in Delta. You choose enclosed cargo, hydraulic dump, car hauler or equipment flatbed and we confirm the hitch match before you drive over.

Which trailer fits a townhouse move or reno cleanup

Burnaby townhouse and condo moves usually mean tight underground parking and narrow loading bays. An enclosed cargo trailer keeps furniture dry when the forecast calls for rain and the lockable door secures tools overnight if the job runs long. The Formula Traverse model in the fleet has a low step height so you can roll a dolly in without a steep ramp angle.

For renovation debris a hydraulic dump trailer saves you from shovelling heavy loads over a high sidewall. You drive to the site, raise the bed with the electric hydraulic pump and let gravity empty the bin. That works well for drywall, flooring tear out and yard waste when you do not want a bin sitting on the strata driveway for a week. The dump action also helps when you are clearing soil or gravel from a tight backyard access where a bin truck cannot reach.

How the route from Delta to Burnaby affects your day

You pick up the trailer at our Delta yard then cross the Alex Fraser or the George Massey Tunnel depending on traffic. The Alex Fraser usually moves better outside rush hour but the tunnel can back up when a crash blocks a lane. Allow an extra twenty minutes if you are towing during the morning or afternoon peak.

Once you are in Burnaby the main arteries such as Kingsway, Lougheed Highway and Highway 1 have frequent lights and merge lanes that eat up time with a trailer behind you. Plan your route to the job site before you leave Delta so you are not figuring out low clearance parkades or weight restricted bridges while you are already hooked up. A quick look at street view for the destination address can save you a stressful turnaround with a loaded trailer.

What tow vehicle and hitch you need

Most of our trailers tow behind a standard truck or SUV with a Class 3 hitch. When you call or email you tell us the year make and model of your tow vehicle and we confirm the hitch rating and wiring connector. If your vehicle only has a 4 pin flat connector we let you know whether the trailer needs a 7 pin round for electric brakes.

We do not guess on capacity. If the combination is close to the vehicle tow rating we will tell you before you book so you can decide whether to upgrade the tow vehicle or choose a lighter trailer. That conversation happens at booking time not at the yard when you are ready to hook up. You also need to know your vehicle payload because tongue weight counts against it even with a weight distribution hitch.

Booking and Delta pickup step by step

You contact us with the trailer type you want, the dates you need it and a quick description of what you are hauling. We check the calendar and send back availability and pricing. Once you approve we lock in the reservation and you get a confirmation with the Delta pickup location details.

On pickup day you arrive with your tow vehicle, we do a quick walk around to verify lights brakes and coupler operation, you sign the rental agreement and you are on the road. Daily and weekly terms are available so you only pay for the time you actually need the trailer. If you need the trailer for a few extra hours on the last day let us know when you book so we can build that into the weekly rate.

Choosing between car hauler and equipment flatbed

If you are moving a car ATV or side by side the car hauler flatbed has the ramps and tie down points built for wheels. The open deck lets you drive the machine on and strap it down without worrying about roof height or side walls. That is the simplest way to get a project vehicle to a shop or a powersport toy to the trailhead.

When the load is a skid steer mini excavator pallets of pavers or lumber the equipment flatbed is the better match. The 7x16 open deck gives you room to centre the weight over the axles and the stake pockets let you build a tall load with ratchet straps. Both trailers tow the same way so the decision comes down to what you are putting on the deck. The equipment flatbed also works well for hauling scaffolding sections or long pipe that would not fit inside an enclosed trailer.

Weather and timing tips for Burnaby jobs

Rain falls most of the year in the Lower Mainland so an enclosed cargo trailer is often the safer bet for household goods or anything that cannot get wet. If you are running a dump trailer for soil or gravel a wet load sticks to the bed and adds weight so plan an extra cycle to shake it clean before you head back.

Weekends book fast especially when the weather window looks dry. If you have a firm move out date or a demo start date call as soon as you know the dates. A weekly rate can be cheaper than two daily rentals if the job stretches past three days and you keep the trailer on site overnight. Early spring and late fall are the busiest windows for reno debris so lock in your dump trailer at least two weeks ahead.

Trailer rental Burnaby jobs that need extra deck space

Some Burnaby projects call for more deck length than a standard flatbed provides. The 7x16 equipment flatbed gives you room for long form lumber, scaffolding towers or multiple pallets of interlocking brick without overhanging the tail lights. That extra length matters when you are staging material on a narrow lot and cannot block the sidewalk or the neighbour driveway.

If the load is tall as well as long you can build a secure cage with ratchet straps anchored to the stake pockets along the sides. The open deck lets you load from the side with a forklift or a telehandler which is faster than feeding everything through a rear door. For landscaping crews moving sod rolls and retaining wall block the flatbed keeps the payload visible so you can balance the weight over the axles before you hit the road.
