Ride On Rentals runs a trailer rental Delta operation right out of Delta so you pick up close to home. We stock enclosed cargo trailers, hydraulic dump trailers, car hauler trailers and equipment flatbed trailers including a 7x16 open flatbed. Daily and weekly terms are available and we confirm hitch compatibility when you book.
Why our Delta lot matters for Ladner Tsawwassen and North Delta
Our lot sits in Delta so customers from Ladner Tsawwassen and North Delta drive a short distance to hook up and go. You avoid the tunnel or the Alex Fraser when you just need a trailer for the day. That saves fuel and time especially when you are moving soil or debris that has a disposal deadline at the transfer station.
Because we are based here we know the weight restrictions on the 91 and the 99 and which lanes get tight near the weigh scales. We can suggest the quickest route to the transfer station in Surrey or the green waste drop in Vancouver without you guessing. The 7x16 flatbed fits in most residential driveways so loading at home is straightforward and you do not block traffic on narrow streets.
Which trailer fits the job
Enclosed cargo trailers keep tools dry and locked up on a multi day reno or a move across the river to Richmond. The Formula Traverse model we run has a rear ramp door that makes rolling a pallet jack or a motorcycle simple. Hydraulic dump trailers lift the bed with a switch so you unload gravel or yard waste at the site without shovelling and the hydraulic cylinder holds the bed up while you drive forward to spread material evenly.
Car hauler trailers are open flatbeds built to carry a vehicle ATV or side by side. Equipment flatbed trailers handle skid steers excavators or stacks of lumber. Both flatbeds have tie down points along the rails and the 7x16 deck gives you room for a mini excavator plus a bucket. The open deck also lets you load from the side with a forklift when you are picking up pallets of brick or bagged cement from a supplier yard.
What tow vehicle and hitch do you need
Most of our trailers tow behind a standard truck or SUV with a Class 3 hitch. When you call or email tell us the year make and model of your tow vehicle and we confirm the rating matches the trailer you want. We also check whether you need a 4 pin or 7 pin wiring connector for lights and brakes so the trailer signals work the first time you hit the road.
If your receiver is a Class 2 we can usually steer you to a lighter enclosed unit or a smaller flatbed. We do not guess on capacity because an overloaded hitch can damage your frame and void your insurance. The confirmation step takes a few minutes and prevents a wasted trip to the lot. Bring the tow vehicle you registered with us because we verify the hitch height and wiring before you leave.
How booking and Delta pickup works
You contact us with the trailer type the dates you need it and a quick description of what you are hauling. We check the calendar and send a price before any commitment. Once you approve we set a pickup window at the Delta lot. You arrive we do a walk around you hook up and you leave. The walk around covers tire pressure light function and brake controller setting so you are not troubleshooting on the highway.
There is no delivery service so plan the pickup into your schedule. Bring your driver's licence and the tow vehicle you told us about. If you need a ball mount or a wiring adapter we can usually sort that on the spot. Return the trailer clean and on the agreed day to avoid extra daily charges. Late returns roll into another daily rate automatically.
Common questions about trailer rental Delta
Customers often ask if they can cross the border into Washington with our trailers. The answer is no our insurance and registration are for BC only. Another frequent question is whether the hydraulic dump works on a 12 volt battery. Yes the pump runs off the tow vehicle battery through the 7 pin connector so the truck must be running while you raise the bed.
People also want to know if they can leave their own vehicle at our lot while they have the trailer. Space is limited so we ask you to arrange alternate parking. Finally many ask about one way rentals. We do not offer one way returns the trailer comes back to Delta. If your job site is in Langley or Coquitlam plan the round trip time into your rental window.
Planning a project that starts this weekend
Weekend dates fill fast especially in the spring when landscapers and homeowners are both chasing the same equipment. Call early in the week to lock in the hydraulic dump or the enclosed cargo unit you need. If your project runs Monday to Friday a weekly rate usually beats five daily rates and you keep the trailer on site for the whole job.
When you book tell us if you are heading to the North Shore Transfer Station or the Vancouver Landfill because the route changes which trailer length is easiest to maneuver. A shorter enclosed trailer turns tighter in the scale house lanes than a long flatbed with a mini excavator on the back. Factor in bridge traffic on the Port Mann or the Alex Fraser when you calculate how many days you actually need.
If you are hauling renovation debris out of a basement suite in North Delta the enclosed cargo trailer keeps dust off the street and the lockable door secures tools overnight. For a backyard regrade in Tsawwassen the hydraulic dump lets you drop soil exactly where the skid steer needs it without double handling. Matching the trailer to the site conditions saves hours of extra labour.
