Office Trailer's Buyer's Guide
Your Details-till-Delivery Guide to Acquiring an Office Trailer
What do I want on the inside (and outside) of my office trailer?
The typical office trailer unit in the United States features a cost-and-energy efficient single-phase split electric system that must be connected to a nearby power source (and often basic telephone wiring too). Because a variety of companies require the use of office trailers, the size and configuration of the average office trailer varies as well.
Some of the interior “luxuries” (or, amenities, depending on how you look at it) often available in office trailers are:
- restrooms
- closets
- climate control
- partition walls
- conference areas
- coffee rooms
- built-in filing cabinets
- industry specific requirements (like blueprint tables and tool storage for construction)
- additional furniture
The exterior of your office trailer is fully customizable too. The following options are often available:
- vinyl siding
- shingled roof
- skirts (to disguise the temporary nature of your office)
- ramps etc. to ensure compliance with the American Disabilities Act, a must if your office trailer will be open to the public
While the benefit of these options speak for themselves, keep in mind that the more specific you get with your office trailer, the fewer models you may be able to choose from, and the more expensive your office trailer may be. Many find that a “bare-bones” approach to office trailer leasing is the most cost-effective. According to Love, you can also customize the office trailer yourself for less money and more charm by “building your own steps for the trailer instead of renting the steel-frame steps that usually come with it.” With a little elbow grease and some imagination, the office trailer units can be personalized to fit your aesthetics.
Now that you know what you want in an office trailer, it is time to find the vendor that can help you make it happen.
How do I find qualified, reliable office trailer vendors?
The best way to find reputable vendors is to shop around and let them compete for you.

How do I get the best price on my office trailer?
Although large national chains currently dominate the office trailer industry, even smaller vendors have a wide variety of inventory and the ability to handle large orders quickly. Because vendors are highly competitive, pricing can vary widely depending on location, competition and season. The only way to know for sure is to shop around extensively.
The easiest and most effective way to get the biggest bang for your office trailer buck is to have office trailer vendors compete for your business. The more you shop around and compare prices, the more likely it is that you will get what you want for the right price.

What happens after I have decided on an office trailer?
Once you have settled on a vendor and agreed to a price for the office trailer, it’s time to sign a lease agreement. The vendor will usually require you to provide proof of both liability and property insurance before he provides you with an office trailer unit. It is probable you will also have the dubious pleasure of providing the first month’s rent, the set-up fees and a security deposit before you can call your office trailer your own.
