Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in The Colony

Whether you're renovating a home near Lewisville Lake, moving furniture, or clearing out a backyard, a trailer can make the job easier in The Colony. Before choosing one, check where you can park, how much weight you can safely tow, and whether your materials qualify for local waste collection. Run through these before you send a rental request.

  • Size and capacity: match deck length and payload to your biggest item, and leave room to strap it down safely.

  • Weight and brakes: stay within the trailer's rated load and your vehicle's tow rating, and keep tongue weight around 10 to 15 percent of the total. Under Texas Transportation Code Section 547.401, trailers weighing more than 4,500 pounds generally require brakes, subject to applicable exemptions.

  • Trailer parking restrictions: The Colony prohibits parking boats, trailers, and recreational vehicles on city streets. The city also restricts parking trailers in residential front yards, so check local parking rules and make arrangements for lawful parking before pickup.

  • Bulk and construction waste: The Colony collects up to four cubic yards of qualifying bulk waste twice monthly, based on your regular trash collection day. Large amounts of concrete, roofing, flooring, and other construction debris are excluded. Review the city's collection schedule before deciding how to haul cleanup materials.

  • City cleanup event limits: The Colony holds seasonal cleanup events for eligible residents, but its published event rules prohibit enclosed box vans, trailers longer than 20 feet, and contractor loads. Confirm current event details and accepted materials before loading a rental trailer.

  • Hitch, chains, and wiring: confirm the ball size (usually 2 inches, or 2-5/16 for heavier trailers), your hitch class, and that the trailer's plug matches your vehicle. Cross the safety chains under the tongue.

  • Ramps and loading: for anything you roll or drive on, check for a ramp gate or low deck height; for tall or awkward loads, check deck width and tie-down points.

  • Open vs. enclosed: open trailers load fast and cost less; enclosed trailers protect cargo from North Texas thunderstorms, hail, strong winds, and summer heat.

  • Get your questions answered: check the listing details first, and ask Toby, the towlos virtual assistant, anything else. After you submit a rental request, you can message the Host in towlos Chat to confirm dimensions, hitch, delivery, and anything specific to your load before they approve it.

Common Reasons to Rent a Trailer in The Colony

From hauling boating equipment to Stewart Creek Park to delivering tournament supplies at Five Star Complex, The Colony has plenty of ways to put a trailer to work. Here are ten common rental uses and the trailer types suited to each one.

  • Furniture and household moves. Enclosed cargo trailers protect furniture, appliances, boxes, and household belongings during moves around The Colony, Lewisville, Frisco, and nearby communities. Utility trailers work for oversized items that can be securely tied down.

  • Home renovations and remodeling. Utility trailers can transport lumber, cabinets, flooring, and fencing materials. Dump trailers can carry eligible remodeling debris to authorized facilities, since large construction loads are excluded from regular bulk collection.

  • Landscaping and yard cleanup. Dump and utility trailers can transport mulch, gravel, soil, branches, and landscaping equipment. The Colony also collects qualifying green waste on Mondays for smaller residential projects.

  • Youth sports at Five Star Complex. The Five Star Complex includes baseball, softball, football, and soccer fields. Utility and enclosed trailers can help authorized teams transport sports equipment, tents, and tournament supplies.

  • Boating at Stewart Creek Park. Stewart Creek Park offers a boat ramp and access to Lewisville Lake. Boat trailers can transport suitable watercraft, while utility trailers can carry outdoor gear to designated unloading areas.

  • Family celebrations at Stewart Creek Park. The park has a large reservable pavilion for reunions, picnics, and gatherings. Small utility trailers can transport approved decorations and party supplies, but pavilion reservations do not include vehicle admission fees.

  • Birthday parties and neighborhood gatherings. The city's park pavilion program includes Kids Colony Park, Lions Club Park, Ridgepointe Park, and other locations. Cargo and utility trailers can carry supplies to approved unloading areas.

  • Community festivals and seasonal events. The Colony hosts community celebrations and outdoor events throughout the year. Enclosed cargo trailers can help approved vendors transport merchandise, displays, decorations, and event equipment.

  • Garage cleanouts and recycling trips. Utility trailers can transport accepted household items to donation or disposal facilities. Paint, electronics, and other hazardous materials should go through the city's separate household hazardous waste program.

  • Contractor equipment and project vehicles. Flatbeds, equipment trailers, car haulers, and motorcycle trailers can transport compact machinery, tools, motorcycles, and project cars. Match the trailer's rated capacity, ramps, and tie-down equipment to the load.

What kind of hitch do I need?
