for a DIY Moving Project

If you’re planning to move to a new home or office, one of the things you’ll need is a trailer for transporting your
furniture, equipment, appliances, and other items. So, if you’re planning to do the moving yourself, you need to
use the right vehicle. Choosing a trailer for your move can turn out to be a very cost efficient option as you can find
affordable trailer rentals near you that offer these at amazingly low rates on rent. Read on for tips on how to pick
the right trailer for your DIY move:

There are two main types of trailers:
utility and cargo. The type of items you
need to transfer will determine the sort
of trailer you need to rent. Cargo
trailers are like a box, thus offer the
best level of protection for your stuff.
They’re secure too, as you can protect
them with an anti-theft system for
times when you leave it on its own. E.g.
in a parking area or a storage area.
What do you have to move?

Utility trailers are open trailers and are great for hauling heavy duty equipment. They’re great for quick trips and
transportation as you can’t leave them unattended since they’re open. They are perfect for hauling large furniture
items and equipment.

What’s the towing capacity of your vehicle?
This is an important step as the
hauling capacity of your vehicle will
help decide the type of trailer that
you can use. A small vehicle may not
be able to tow a big trailer, and vice
versa. Now is the good time to open
up the vehicle manual to check for
the towing capacity of your vehicle.
Choose a trailer that your vehicle can
conveniently support i.e. somewhere
midrange, and nothing on the
maximum capacity.

How many things do you need to haul?
The number of things, based on
quantity and volume can
determine the size of the trailer
you need. Also, make sure to
incorporate the total weight of
the stuff that you need to move.
This total weight should be
inclusive of the total capacity that
the trailer can support. If the
trailer can support e.g. 500kg, the
total weight of the things
shouldn’t exceed 500kg. It is
recommended to stay well within
the capacity to ensure that it is
convenient and safe to haul.

If you’re fortunate to have a big vehicle, you will be able to use a trailer with
higher capacity, which will help you transport all your things in one go. This will be
easier as you won’t have to make multiple trips. All in all, it is essential to choose a
trailer rental company that offers good quality trailers, understands your
requirements and provides you a trailer that best fits your DIY moving needs.
