Shipping and Delivery at PullCargoTrailers.com

Pull Cargo Trailers offers reliable, flexible shipping and delivery options tailored to the unique requirements of large equipment like enclosed cargo trailers, utility trailers, propane tanks, and refrigerated units. Customers can choose home/business delivery, terminal pickup, or self-haul arrangements, with transparent pricing and clear expectations for every step.​

Delivery Methods

Trailers and large equipment ship differently than small parcels due to size and weight. Common methods include:

Tilt-Bed Delivery (Most Popular)
Specialized tilt-bed trailers deliver directly to your site. The driver tilts the bed, allowing the trailer to slide safely to the ground—no crane or forklift needed. Ideal for most residential, commercial, and construction sites.​

Flatbed Delivery
Trailer arrives on a standard flatbed requiring on-site crane/forklift unloading. Best for locations already equipped with lifting gear. Often slightly cheaper per mile.​

Depot/Terminal Pickup
Collect your trailer from a nearby freight terminal. Most economical option; you arrange your own transport home.​

Customer Pickup (Free)
Tow your trailer directly from our facility. Bring a rated tow vehicle; we'll assist with hookup and paperwork.​
