Commercial Semi-Trailer Rentals in Toronto & Southern Ontario
Express Mobile Storage Solutions rents road-certified commercial semi-trailers to fleet operators, owner-operators, 3PLs and contractors across Toronto and the GTA, including Burlington, Brampton, Hamilton, Mississauga, North York, Vaughan, Pickering, Ajax, Oshawa, Markham, Scarborough, and Etobicoke. Daily, weekly, monthly, and long-term rental terms are all available. Pick the unit up from the nearest yard or have it delivered same day.
We rent 20', 35', 48' and 53' dry van semi-trailers in quality makes including Wabash, Trailmobile, Great Dane, Fruehauf, and Mond. Standard configurations include barn doors, roll-up doors, kingpin and landing gear, and DOT/Transport Canada road certification. Ready for your tractor to hook up and pull.
We work directly with each fleet to right-size the rental: pricing, term, delivery window, and yard pickup all dialed in to your operation. If you'd rather own, we also have commercial trailers for sale; ask about our lease-to-own program.
Express Mobile Storage Solutions services Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Pickering and Durham, and the rest of the GTA from three operating yards: Brampton (7072 Mayfield Rd), Burlington (437 Ofield Rd S), and Stoney Creek (395 Second Rd E). Same-day delivery is the norm. Call (416) 771-8833 and we'll get back to you in under 30 minutes during business hours.
Why Rent a Commercial Semi-Trailer?
Buying a 53' trailer ties up $20K-$50K+ in capex on a depreciating asset that may sit empty between contracts. Renting gives you the same haul capacity with none of the carrying cost, and it lets you scale up or down as your route mix changes. Here's why fleet operators in the GTA choose Express:
1. Match Capacity to Contract Cycles
Peak season, contract surges, and one-off lane wins don't justify buying another tractor-trailer. Commercial trailer rentals let you take on the work without long-term commitment, return the unit when the contract ends. Read more about the cost case for renting versus buying.
2. Replace Units Without Downtime
When one of your trailers goes in for inspection, repair, or accident remediation, your driver doesn't sit. Pick up a replacement from our yard the same day and keep the route running. Avoid late-delivery penalties from your shipper.
3. Secure & Weather-Tight
Every trailer we rent is inspected before it leaves the yard, tires, brakes, lights, doors, floor, walls. When a load needs to wait, our yards are fenced, lit, and accessible 24/7 for our renters so you have a secure drop point between hauls.
4. The Right Size for the Load
Most commercial freight pairs cleanly with a 53' dry van (~52 pallet positions, ~4,000 cu ft), but smaller routes, dock-restricted sites, and one-off jobs are better served by a 20', 35', or 48'. We carry all four lengths in active inventory.
5. Same-Day Delivery from Local Yards
Three GTA yards keep us within 60 minutes of most commercial sites, Brampton serves the 401/407 corridor, Burlington covers the QEW west, and Stoney Creek covers Hamilton, Niagara, and the Linc. Need it delivered? Same-day arrangements are standard during business hours.
If a stationary box on the ground fits the job better than a wheels-on trailer, our 20' and 40' shipping containers are the alternative. For a yard space to drop a tractor-trailer between hauls, see our truck and trailer parking.
