Renting or buying a trailer should be simple, stress-free, and backed by confidence that you’re getting a quality product. Whether you’re looking for a dry van trailer for storage or transportation, there are a number of things you would normally need to check before committing. But here’s the good news: at Express Mobile Trailers, we’ve already done all that work for you.
From frame inspections to tire integrity, electrical systems to door seals, our trailers are fully vetted, road-ready, and available for flexible rental or purchase—so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Let’s walk through what most people check when renting or buying a trailer—and how ExpressGroup has already handled it for you.
1. Trailer Purpose, Size, and Specs — Already Matched to Your Needs
Choosing the right trailer for your use case is step one. Most people need to determine:
- What they’re hauling or storing
- What trailer size and axle rating they require
- What kind of door (barn vs. roll-up) they need
- Whether it will be used for local storage or long-haul transport
At Express Mobile Trailers, we take care of that with a quick needs assessment. Just tell us what you’re using it for, and we’ll recommend the right trailer with the exact configuration you need. From 20′, 35′, and 53′ trailers to barn-door or roll-up options, we’ve got the inventory—and the experience—to match you with the right solution.

2. Frame & Undercarriage — Already Inspected and Certified
Before renting or buying a trailer elsewhere, you’d normally need to inspect the undercarriage for cracks, corrosion, bent steel, or signs of fatigue.
But with us? Every trailer at ExpressGroup undergoes a detailed frame and structural integrity inspection before it’s ever offered to a customer. We check the welds, axles, suspension, and underbody so you never have to crawl underneath or second-guess your choice.
3. Tires, Brakes, and Bearings — Already Maintained to Spec
Many trailer rentals come with uneven or aging tires, worn brakes, or neglected bearings. At Express Mobile Trailers, we don’t let that happen.
We handle:
- Tire inspections and replacements to ensure safe tread and no dry rot
- Brake checks and full function testing
- Greased and serviced bearings for smooth, quiet operation
We do all of this before you pick up or receive delivery. You won’t need to spin tires or check DOT dates—we’ve already done it for you.
4. Electrical System & Hitch Connections — Fully Functional and Verified
Don’t waste time testing wiring and light connections. At ExpressGroup, we make sure:
- All exterior lights and signals are functioning properly
- Wiring harnesses are secure, safe, and cleanly installed
- Hitch mechanisms are compatible and working as designed
We verify every connection during our pre-rental/pre-sale inspection, so your trailer is 100% road-legal and ready to roll.
5. Doors, Floors, and Seals — Fully Operational, No Surprises
Nothing ruins a trailer experience like a jammed door or soft floorboard. That’s why every trailer at Express Mobile Trailers goes through a complete structural quality check.
We ensure:
- Doors open and close smoothly, with working locks and latches
- Floors are solid, flat, and free of soft spots or damage
- Roofs and walls are watertight and leak-free
This is standard with every trailer we provide—no guesswork required on your end.
6. Pest-Free, Leak-Free, and Clean — Ready for Storage or Transit
When you rent or buy from ExpressGroup, your trailer isn’t just functional—it’s also clean, sealed, and sanitized.
We proactively:
- Inspect for leaks or water damage
- Clean and deodorize interiors
- Ensure no signs of rodents or pests
You’re getting a ready-to-use, worry-free space that’s ideal for secure storage or transport.
7. Documentation, VINs, and Compliance — All Done for You
At Express Mobile Trailers, we don’t just hand you the keys and wish you luck—we give you full documentation and transparent history.
Every unit includes:
- A verified VIN number
- A clear record of maintenance
