No trailers are listed for rent in San Antonio today; owners in the metro have not added any yet. If you need to move a machine or a load, post a request with the weight and the route. Anyone with a trailer sitting idle can list it free, and the national trailer page shows other regions.
San Antonio is a junction of interstates running toward Houston, Dallas, Austin, the border and El Paso, so equipment and freight move in every direction. Contractors haul crawlers from yard to site, farm and ranch operators carry hay and livestock gear, and oilfield crews shuttle pad equipment toward the Eagle Ford.
Start from the machine's weight, width and height. A lowboy has to carry the heaviest unit with a margin and clear every bridge on the route. Check that the tow vehicle has the rating for the load, the right hitch, and working brakes and lights. Oversize loads need permits and sometimes escorts, so mention the dimensions in your request.
Steel ramps and decks burn bare skin in summer, and tires on loaded trailers run hot on long highway hauls. Ask the owner when tires and brakes were last checked.
Buyers can see trailers for sale in San Antonio, and the San Antonio rental page lists more categories.
A loaded lowboy can weigh a great deal more than the machine on it, and state weight limits apply on every highway. Work out the combined weight before you book, and ask the owner whether the rig has the axles to stay legal. Truck stops with scales are common along the interstates here, and a quick weigh avoids fines.
Trailer prices are unknown until a local owner posts a unit. Trailer type, rental length and any deposit change the price.
Often yes, if the truck is rated for the load. Confirm the hitch type and the brake connection with the owner.
This must be agreed in advance. Some owners arrange the permits for a fee.
Many owners rent by the day, week or month, and longer terms may lower the daily cost.
Say so in your request, since some haulers offer the whole service.
