Practical Trailer Support for Iowa and Upper Midwest Fleets

Our Des Moines operation is built around practical support. Customers come to us when they need equipment quickly, service done right, or straight answers about availability and fit.

We assist owner operators and fleet managers every day with:

  • Short- and long-term trailer rentals tied to real job schedules

New Trailers for Sale

At our Des Moines-area facility, we help customers source new trailer equipment from established manufacturers used across the Midwest.

We work with brands such as Fontaine, East, Interstate, Trail King, Hyundai, and others, and we help match spec to workload rather than pushing one-size-fits-all equipment.

Our used trailer inventory offers cost-effective options that are inspected and serviced before sale. Many customers choose used equipment to quickly expand capacity or support seasonal work without long lead times.

Availability moves quickly, so checking inventory regularly helps ensure you get the right unit at the right time.

Services available include:

If a trailer goes down midweek or between jobs, we help determine whether it’s a quick turnaround, a scheduled repair, or a larger issue that requires planning.

Our parts team knows the equipment and helps you get the right component the first time, whether you’re replacing routine wear items or tracking down something more specific.

Office Trailers and Storage Containers for Iowa Job Sites

For construction, infrastructure, and industrial work across Iowa, we provide space solutions that are easy to deploy and built for active job sites.

Office trailers give crews a dedicated place for coordination, planning, and administrative work when permanent space isn’t practical. They’re commonly used as mobile offices, meeting areas, or on-site command centers.

Storage containers offer secure, weather-resistant space for tools, equipment, materials, and seasonal inventory. With multiple size options, they’re a reliable way to keep assets protected and organized on busy sites.

Our office trailers and storage containers are widely used across construction, agriculture, and industrial operations throughout Iowa.

Specialty Equipment for Oversized and Heavy Transport

Some loads require more than standard trailers. The Des Moines team helps coordinate specialty equipment for oversized, overweight, and complex transport jobs across Iowa and the Upper Midwest.

Faymonville Trailers

Faymonville trailers are built for demanding applications where load configuration, capacity, and durability matter. These units are commonly used for heavy machinery, infrastructure projects, and energy-related transport across the region.

We help assess whether a Faymonville setup is suitable for the job before you commit.

Cometto Trailers

Cometto equipment supports self-propelled and modular transport applications that require precision control. These solutions are often used for extreme payload requirements or confined-site conditions.

If the move requires specialized handling, we’ll assess whether Cometto equipment is appropriate.

Flexible Trailer Financing to Keep You Moving

Our financing team works with owner-operators and fleets across the Midwest to secure financing that supports both short-term needs and long-term planning.

Financing options typically include:

  • Quick approvals for new and used semi-trailer equipment
  • Competitive interest rates
  • Straightforward payment programs
  • Access to major lending partners
