Rental Basics and Logistics

What is required to rent a trailer from your ranch?

You must be at least 21 years old with a valid driver’s license. You also need a vehicle with an appropriate tow rating and insurance. We verify all connections during the pickup process at our ranch.

Yes. We provide delivery and pickup services to various areas like Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos. This is a perfect solution if you do not have a vehicle equipped for towing.

We offer flexible rental durations to suit your schedule. While we have daily rates, we can accommodate specific timelines for quick local hauls or long-term projects.

Equipment and Towing Specifications

How do I know which hitch size I need?

Different trailers require different ball sizes, typically 2-inch or 2 5/16-inch. Our team can confirm the exact requirement for your specific trailer for rent before you arrive.

Utility trailers usually have side rails to secure smaller items. Flatbeds offer a completely open deck. This makes them better for oversized machinery or wide loads.

All our dump trailers feature professional hydraulic lifts. You can unload heavy gravel or debris with the push of a button. No manual lifting is required from the user.

Safety and Insurance

Is insurance included in the trailer rental cost?

We provide basic liability coverage for the equipment. However, we always recommend checking with your personal auto insurance provider. They can confirm if your policy extends to towed units.

Yes. Every unit in our fleet is equipped with a road-ready spare tire. We prioritize your safety and want to prevent downtime during your rental period.

We maintain our fleet to the highest standards to prevent issues. If a problem occurs, contact our ranch team immediately. We will provide support or a replacement unit to keep you moving.

Usage and Restrictions

Can I use a livestock trailer for moving furniture?

While possible, we suggest using our enclosed small cargo trailer for furniture. This keeps your belongings clean and protected from road dust or unexpected rain.

Yes. Every trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Our team will explain these limits based on your specific tow vehicle and the material you plan to haul.

Most of our rentals stay within Central Texas. If you plan a long-distance trip, please discuss it with us beforehand. We can ensure the equipment is prepared for the extra mileage.
