Car trailer hire can be very handy, especially when you’re doing minor repairs around your home, extensive yard work, or when you’re moving. Designed to carry small loads, you’ll need a trailer once or twice in your life, which is why you’ll need to hire one. Here are a few more reasons why you would need to rent a trailer. Can you find something you’ll need it for?

1. They Protect Your Items 

Specifically speaking about furniture trailers, most of them come fully enclosed. When you’re moving to a new home, it can be a monumental change. And with the change, comes tons of stress! When you’re moving, you’re packing up all your worldly possessions and transporting them to your new home. The last thing you need is for something to go wrong during transit.

Anything could happen: you could lose your entire load, one or two boxes could fall out while you’re driving, or you could get into a minor traffic accident. And, going by Auckland’s unpredictable weather patterns, there could even be an unexpected weather burst while you’re driving. That’s why fully enclosed furniture trailers are your best option; they protect your items while you transport them from one location to another.

2. You Can Transport Large Quantities At Once 

Have you ever had to transport large quantities of something back and forth in your car? It can be quite frustrating, because there’s only so much space available, and it’s almost always not enough. The next time you’re transporting furniture, decorations or crockery for a wedding, a corporate event or a big party, plan ahead and hire a car trailer. You can also use it when you buy new furniture and appliances for your home like beds, tables, a gas barbeque, or a new fridge. You can move these large items without stress or worry, from the store to your home, and drop off the rental trailer on the same day you picked it up.

3. It’s Secure 

Most cage and enclosed trailers have side walls and railings to keep your items secure while you drive. Using ropes or ties, you can attach your goods to these rails so that they hold securely. Now, you can drive without worrying that things will shift or fall inside the trailer, and get your stuff where they need to be, in one piece. Some of the larger enclosed trailer models even have walk-in doors that make loading and unloading of your cargo much easier, especially if you’re short on helping hands.

4. They’re Safe To Drive 

All trailers are manufactured with hydraulic brakes, lights and a spare wheel. The reason for this is so that towing a car trailer is safer for you and others around you on the road. Remember, just like when you’re in your car, the people behind and around you need to know where you’re going. That means that when you indicate to turn left or right, and when you brake, they can see what you plan on doing before you do it. The spare wheel is for if a tyre goes flat, and the brakes assist in stopping and slowing the trailer down safely. They also come with reflective strips on the body, so that they can be easily seen at night, in the rain, or dense fog.

5. Hiring VS Buying A Car Trailer Is More Cost-Effective

How many times will you need to use a car trailer? Although you might move a few times in your life, and you’ll do extensive yard work or DIY projects every couple of years, it isn’t often enough to warrant purchasing a car trailer. If you needed to use it every week, then making the purchase is a smart move. However, if you only need one every two to three years at most, renting a trailer is a much more cost-effective option.

6. It Allows You To Keep To A Timeframe 

Your other option, other than car trailer hire, is to borrow one from a friend or family member. However, that can be tricky. If you’re working with someone else’s timeframe, you can lose opportunities to get the work done and have your own time wasted. If you rent it, you’ll work around your own schedule by picking it up and dropping it off when it’s convenient for you.

The next time you need to use a car trailer, don’t waste your time with other people whom you can borrow from. Car trailer hire is fast, affordable and convenient. You can transport large quantities of almost anything in it, where it will keep the contents safe and secure during transit.
