Rent an Axle Trailer in Dallas-Ft.Worth and Tow With Ease

If a big haul or moving project is staring you in the face, but does not require professional assistance, then consider taking the easy route by renting a utility trailer. If you basically just need to move something from one place to another, then a trailer is the optimal tool as it can accommodate various loads of equipment with strength and flexibility. There are also countless tasks where utilizing a trailer can be beneficial such as construction projects, moving, and landscaping. AA Rental in Dallas carries an assortment of trailers, big and small, that will help you with all your towing needs.

What are the different types of utility trailers available?

Utility trailers come in all shapes and sizes, and are basically available as open and enclosed. Open trailers do not provide coverage from the outside elements, while enclosed trailers do, but at a higher cost as they offer more cargo protection. There are also several types of custom trailers that will come in handy for more specific jobs such as:

• Boat Trailers
• Horse Trailers
• Small Box Trailers
• Flat Bed Trailers
• Van Trailers

If you have a simple project, then renting a smaller single or dual axle trailer should do the trick. A single axle trailer has only one wheel on each side, whereas a dual axle has two wheels on each side for added stability. If you have a hefty amount of stuff to move, it is usually better to opt for the dual axle trailer, which has a larger load capacity. However, in Texas any trailer with a load over 4500lbs GVW requires brakes, and the installation of a brake controller. Also, you may need to install signal lights.

How do I connect the trailer to my vehicle?

While it may seem confusing at first, hitching up an average-sized trailer is easier than it looks. First, you will need to determine the amount of weight you will be pulling, and make sure it does not surpass the maximum towing capacity of your vehicle. Then, you are free to install the trailer hitch by following these steps:

• Jack up the towing vehicle to give yourself access to    the underside
• Assemble the entire hitch according to the manufacture’s instructions without tightening any bolts
• Drill holes into the vehicle’s frame by using the loosely completed hitch as a template for placement
• Fasten the hitch to the frame by using clamps to hold it in place, and then tighten all the bolts
•  Hook up break lights and turn signals per manufacturer’s instructions

  If you do not feel comfortable hitching the trailer yourself, but want to make sure it is hooked up properly, then contact a professional.
