Trailer Features
Dock-Height Storage: Storage trailers are dock height, making it easy to load and unload directly from your loading dock.
Spacious Design: Trailers generally are larger than most containers not only in terms of length, but also in height and width. A 53′ Trailer can fit up to 26 pallets and a 48′ fits 24 pallets, which is over double a 40′ container can fit.
Easy Loading & Unloading: Trailer floors are strong and robust. You can easily walk right into a trailer, use a pallet jack or even drive a fork lift into one, all without leaving your loading dock.
Flexible & Scalable Storage: Since a trailer is up on wheels, it can easily be moved around your yard or warehouse once its loaded. This gives you the ability to load it, move it from your dock, and get another trailer if you need. This give you the ability to easily scale your on-site storage as needed, in comparison with a container which cannot be moved once loaded.

What is a Storage and Local Trailer?
A storage trailer is a versatile, portable storage solution designed to provide secure and convenient space for goods, materials, or equipment. These trailers, originally built for transporting freight over long distances, have been repurposed to meet a wide range of storage needs for businesses, industries, and individuals. Typically made of durable steel or aluminum, storage trailers feature reinforced floors to support heavy loads and are designed to be weather-resistant, ensuring protection from rain, wind, and other environmental factors. Their robust construction also provides security, making them ideal for storing valuable items on-site.
Storage trailers come in various lengths, including 28, 40, 48, and 53 feet, to accommodate different requirements. Most are equipped with rear roll-up or swing doors for easy loading and unloading, while some models also feature side doors for added accessibility. Mobility is another key advantage, as these trailers are mounted on wheels and can be easily transported to different locations using a standard trailer hitch. This makes them particularly useful for applications requiring temporary or movable storage.
Storage trailers securely hold building materials, equipment, and machinery. In retail, they serve as overflow storage for seasonal inventory or bulk items. They are also frequently employed in event management for storing supplies and equipment and in disaster relief operations to provide immediate storage for emergency goods. With their combination of durability, flexibility, and mobility, storage trailers have become an essential solution for efficient and secure storage in a wide range of contexts.
FAQs for Trailers
How do I rent or buy a Trailer?
At Tropical Trailer Leasing, we make renting and buying a storage trailer easy, quick, and efficient. Just give us a call or request a quote directly on our website so we can better assist you!
I have a loading dock. Do I need a Swing Door or Roll up door trailer?
Ideally, for a loading dock you will want a rollup door (also called overhead door) trailer. Rollup door trailers allow you to open and close the door when the trailer is against a loading dock.
The doors of a swing door trailer open out instead of up, so it cannot be opened and closed when parked against a loading dock. The doors would need to be opened before putting the trailer against the loading dock, and left open.
Roll up door trailers are ideal for loading docks.
Swing doors are ideal for parking lots/open areas.
How high off the ground are dock-height trailers?
Dock-height trailers are around 4 feet to 4.45 feet off the ground (about the same as a standard loading dock).
Can a loaded trailer be moved?
A loaded trailer can be moved around your yard/lot, giving you the option to easily expand your on-site storage with more trailers.
How many pallets fit in a storage trailer?
53′ Trailers fit up to 26 pallets.
48′ Trailers fit up to 24 pallets.
40′ Trailers fit up to 19 pallets.
28′ Trailers fit up to 14 pallets
