From taking green waste down to the tip to moving house, we’ve got a top range of specialist trailers for hire at Hirepool. Given that, for most people, a trailer is only needed from time to time, it makes sense to hire a trailer instead of buying new. Whether you’re after a standard car trailer, furniture trailer hire or even transport trailers, we’ve got you sorted at Hirepoool.
You may be confused about which trailer to hire with so many options. Luckily, your pals at Hirepool have whipped up this video and guide. We take a good look at our fleet and the benefits of each trailer option. That way, we can point you in the right direction. Here’s what we’ll cover:

To say there are plenty of jobs that are made easier by hiring a trailer is an understatement. Commercial tradies will benefit from using a trailer for carting gear and materials to and from the work site, like on a flat deck trailer. DIYers, on the other hand, can rent a trailer for many weekend jobs, including:
From a versatile cage trailer to a covered trailer hire for when the weather is rough, we’ve got trailer options for any job. Each comes with its benefits. It’s a case of matching up trailer specs to the task at hand.
Cage trailers are kind of like the jack of all trades when it comes to trailer hire. A high-sided trailer is a great option, whether you’re carting rubbish, loose materials or furniture (when the weather is good).
With its caged sides, loading ramps and tandem axles with braked models for larger loads, cage trailers ensure your goods are contained while out on the open road. Here are our caged trailers for hire:
465 – 600 kg |
Smaller loads of furniture, rubbish or garden prunings etc. Consider also hiring a tarpaulin to keep your items contained while you drive. |
|
Up to 1070 kg |
Moving furniture, rubbish or garden prunings etc. With a sturdy alloy frame, you can transport a range of materials easily and safely. It also has a loading ramp to make it easier to pack. |
|
Up to 1140 kg |
Medium sized loads of furniture, rubbish or garden prunings etc. You should also look at hiring a tarpaulin if you’re worried items will fly away while driving. |
|
1550 – 1950 kg |
Larger loads of furniture, rubbish or garden prunings etc. Two axles give greater stability and tend to be safer when towed at higher speeds. Most of Hirepool’s tandem trailers are braked for increased safety. |
No matter your choice, you must ensure you can legally tow it. Read our guide on how to calculate your towing capacity for advice. There are strict guidelines to follow when it comes to towing trailers.
If you’re shifting house or business, you’ll want to consider furniture trailer hire. Opting for a cage trailer may be fine for some movers, but a proper furniture trailer is specifically designed to help you move house.
Easily stack cartons or move your precious possessions with a rear fold-down door and ramp for easy access. As well as that, furniture, or covered trailer hire in general, means your belongings will be protected from the weather. Here are our furniture trailer hire options:
Up to 1070 kg |
Great for moving furniture like couches, as well as other materials. With high sides and a rear loading ramp, packing your trailer and moving objects couldn’t be easier. |
|
Up to 600 kg |
Ideally suited to transporting lighter loads of furniture such as bedside tables and chairs, boxes or household goods or other smaller items. This trailer is covered so you don’t need to worry about what the weather will be doing! It also has a lowerable rear door to make loading easy. |
|
Up to 900 kg |
This covered trailer is perfect for shifting heavy loads of furniture such as beds and sofas. It comes with a rear, fold-down ramp to make packing the trailer a piece of cake. |
If you are on the move, we’ve got an easy-to-follow guide on how to efficiently load a furniture trailer.
When many people picture a trailer, their mind automatically jumps to a standard low-side trailer. With both single axle and tandem axle trailer options, you can transport a range of materials with these. Green waste, construction debris; you name it.
A tandem axle trailer is the way to go for transporting heavier materials. Tandem axle trailers are ideal for providing more stability when driving at higher speeds or in varying road conditions. Otherwise, a single-axle trailer in NZ is just fine for general use. Some of our options include:
500 – 650 kg |
Best suited to smaller clean up or moving jobs. |
|
Up to 1150 kg |
Ideal for small to mid-sized clean up or moving jobs. Can also be used to transport small equipment. Hirepool has some tilt models available if you need easier access. |
|
1600 – 2000 kg |
Designed for moving smaller, heavier loads such as builders mix, sand or pallets of block. |
|
1400 – 1800 kg |
Great for a mix of smaller but heavier materials, for example, posts and builders cement. |
|
1800 – 1900 kg |
Perfect for lighter loads that will be packed tightly together, such as stacks of long wood or panels. |
|
Up to 1800 kg |
These trailers make it easy to load and unload large, flat items. Particularly popular with builders wanting to transport sheets of gib etc. There are options with or without sides. |
|
650 – 1150 kg |
Designed to fit a number of suitcases, cartons or other bulk items when going on a trip with a group or on a family holiday. Whether it’s a road trip or a drive to the airport, this trailer will come in handy! |
If you want pointers on loading a tandem or single-axle trailer, give our guide on how to load a trailer a read.
Perhaps not as commonly hired as some of our other trailer options, a transport trailer, or salvage trailer, is great for getting vehicles or heavier materials from A to B. If one of your cars has broken down and isn’t drivable, a transport trailer is the way to go. We have one main option available:
1600 – 1900 kg |
For more advice on these heavy hitters, read our guide on how to use a salvage trailer.
If you’re throwing a party or hosting an event, chances are you could benefit from hiring a chiller trailer. These trailers are ideal for transporting food products that need to be kept cool. If you’re hosting an event, your budget will likely be large. Don’t let the goods spoil. Chiller trailers help you to maintain consistent temperatures to keep food safety top priority. Our chiller trailers include:
2.88 - 3.23 m3 |
Small events, functions and parties |
|
7 m3 |
Large events, functions and parties |
If you’ve got a more specific item to move, like an excavator, dogger or even portaloo, you may need a specialised equipment trailer. Each of our specialist equipment trailers is quite unique. They include:
400 – 900 kg |
Transporting Hirepool equipment to and from site. Some of our equipment is towable itself, but others require another mode of transport. |
|
1150 – 1900 kg |
Easy transportation of Hirepool equipment and machinery from site to site. This trailer is ideal for smaller excavators, for example! |
|
Up to 1500 kg |
Custom built to make it easy to transport scissor lifts to and from your worksite. Suitable for most scissor lifts. |
|
500 – 1500L |
Designed to minimise the hazards of moving diesel, petrol or other fuel types for safe transportation of fuel to a worksite. |
|
N/A |
For building sites or catering for a small event, if you are looking to hire a single portaloo, then this is what you need to transport it. |
|
N/A |
If your work site or event needs a couple of portaloos, then this is the trailer for you! |
|
N/A |
Able to transport multiple portaloos, this option is ideal if you are catering for a large event. |
We’ve covered use cases for our range of trailers at Hirepool. Apart from just matching up a trailer to the job at hand, there are also a few other things to consider to choose the best option. These include:
Each vehicle will have a towing capacity to determine how much weight can be towed.
If you have a tight budget, you may prefer to use a standard single-axle trailer if you can.
If you’re heading over a bumpy road or gravel, you may prefer a tandem axle option.
Especially if you’re towing a trailer in a tight area or backing up into a confined space, you’ll need to check the dimensions of your trailer will fit.
If you’re still unsure which option to choose, reach out to the team at your local Hirepool branch, and they’ll be happy to help.
It’s fair to say we’ve got plenty of trailers for hire at Hirepool. View our range online now and get what you need from A to B. For more advice, read our guide on how to tow a trailer and everything you should know about hiring a trailer. Happy towing, and good luck with whatever job is at hand!
