  • Class III receiver or better (3/4-ton or larger truck for the equipment trailer)

Not sure if your truck is rated? Send us a photo of your hitch and a screenshot of your truck’s owner’s manual tow rating page — we’ll confirm before you book.

Common questions

How long does pickup take?
Usually 15-20 minutes. We walk through safety, trailer-specific operation (hydraulic dump or power tilt + winch), and contract together.
What if I'm late to return?
Call or text us ahead — we can usually extend the rental at the same daily rate. Unannounced late returns may incur extra day charges.
Do you offer delivery?
Currently pickup-only. Helps us keep prices low.
