Whether you are tackling a construction job, moving equipment, hauling materials, or managing a weekend project, having the right trailer can make the entire process faster, easier, and more efficient. At Strait Way, we offer a wide range of rental trailers to support contractors, homeowners, farmers, and businesses throughout Lethbridge and Coaldale. Renting a trailer is a cost effective way to get the hauling power you need without the expense or maintenance of ownership.

Here are some of the biggest advantages of renting a trailer for your next job.

1. Access the Right Trailer for the Right Job

Every hauling task is different, which is why Strait Way carries multiple trailer types to match your needs. Customers can choose from:

Flatdeck trailers including Big Tex, Fleetneck Gooseneck, and PTL car haulers for moving vehicles, equipment, and large materials
Dump trailers like the Massey 14FT Dump for quick unloading of soil, gravel, and debris
Stock trailers for agriculture and livestock hauling needs
Pipe trailers for hauling long materials used in construction and irrigation projects
Tilt deck trailers such as PT Trailers TE 20FT and WARN tilt decks for easy equipment loading with no ramps required
Utility and enclosed trailers, ideal for household moves or protecting items from weather
Hitch mounted carriers and cargo carriers for smaller loads or vehicles without bed space

Renting allows you to choose the perfect setup for your project, instead of making one purchased trailer fit every task.

2. Save Money Compared to Owning

Buying a trailer can be expensive, especially when you factor in:

Upfront purchase costs
Registration fees
Insurance
Yearly maintenance
Storage requirements

If you only need a trailer occasionally, renting is the most cost-effective choice. You get professional-grade equipment only when you need it and avoid ongoing expenses.

3. No Maintenance or Repairs to Worry About

Trailers require regular upkeep, including:

Brake inspections
Tire replacements
Electrical and lighting maintenance
Hydraulic system care for dump trailers
Structural checks on ramps and decks

When you rent from Strait Way, all of this is handled for you. Our trailers are inspected and maintained before every rental to ensure safe and dependable performance.

4. Perfect for Seasonal or One Time Projects

Many customers only need a trailer for specific tasks throughout the year.

Common rental needs include:

Construction and renovation hauling
Landscaping or yard cleanup
Moving furniture or appliances
Transporting ATVs, small machinery, or farm equipment
Delivering building materials to rural properties

Renting gives you flexibility without long term commitment.

5. Easy Loading and Hauling for Heavy Equipment

Certain trailers, such as tilt decks and flatdecks, are designed to simplify loading heavy equipment. For example, Strait Way’s selection of tilt-deck trailers allows equipment to be rolled directly onto the deck without the need for ramps. This reduces loading time, improves safety, and makes the process much easier for operators.

Flatdeck gooseneck trailers also provide excellent stability when hauling large or heavy machinery over longer distances.

6. Flexibility to Rent Only When You Need It

Owning a trailer means you must store it year round, even if you only use it a few times. Renting eliminates the need for long term storage solutions, especially during winter months.

You simply:

Reserve the trailer
Pick it up
Use it for your project
Return it when finished

No clutter. No storage costs. No hassle.

7. Try Different Trailer Styles Before Buying

If you are considering purchasing a trailer in the future, renting is the perfect way to test different sizes and styles. You can see which deck length, hitch type, or hauling capacity works best for your needs without committing financially.
