Our History
Tropical Trailer Leasing was founded by Adalberto D. Vara. Mr. Vara started out in 1969 with 1 trailer and quickly grew to 50. Mr. Vara’s background and education as an accountant and office manager for a major trailer manufacturing company gave him the perfect background to offer a quality storage trailers at a value-oriented price to South Florida companies.
Today Tropical is multi-generational family owned. Offering Trailers, Containers and Chassis for Sales, Rental and Leasing services.
During our 50+ year history in the South Florida market, we gained insight to the needs of this community and contacts throughout the world for the acquisition of quality equipment for our valued customers.
Logo Change
Tropical Trailer Leasing has had the same logo for over 50 years. Being a multi-generational family business, we decided to modernize the logo but keep true to the original design. In April 2025, we changed our logo to be more dynamic and modern.
