Frequently Asked Questions

A 14ft dump trailer with 3ft high sides can handle most residential projects including kitchen remodels, flooring removal, and yard debris. At MK Trailer Rentals, our 2025 PJ Telescopic Dump Trailers feature 7k lb axles to support heavy loads from renovations and large cleanups in Lubbock.

A telescopic dump trailer uses a hydraulic lift system that raises the bed at an angle, allowing materials to slide out the back. The telescopic feature extends the dump range for easier unloading. This design saves time and physical effort compared to manual unloading methods.

Tilt car haulers lower the entire bed to ground level for easy loading, while drive-over styles use ramps and stay level. Tilt models work best for low-clearance vehicles, whereas drive-over haulers offer more stability during transport. Both styles at MK Trailer Rentals include ratchet straps and winches for secure hauling.

A 16ft flatbed utility trailer accommodates furniture, appliances, landscaping materials, ATVs, motorcycles, and building supplies. The open design allows easy loading from all sides and works well for items that don't require weather protection or security during short-distance transport.

Enclosed trailers protect valuable items from weather, road debris, and theft during transport. They're ideal for electronics, furniture, tools, or equipment that needs security and climate protection. At MK Trailer Rentals, enclosed options start at $120 per day with flexible rental terms.

MK Trailer Rentals offers car haulers with either 5,200 lb or 7,000 lb axle capacities. The 5,200 lb option works for most sedans and compact cars, while the 7,000 lb capacity handles larger vehicles, trucks, or classic cars requiring extra weight support on 20ft beds.

In Texas, a standard driver's license is typically sufficient for towing trailers under 10,000 lbs combined vehicle and trailer weight. Most residential dump trailer rentals fall within this range, but you should verify your vehicle's towing capacity matches the loaded trailer weight before hitching.

Yes, MK Trailer Rentals offers optional delivery services throughout Lubbock, Wolfforth, Levelland, Plainview, Slaton, and Brownfield. Delivery brings the rental trailer directly to your home or job site, eliminating the need to pick it up yourself and adding convenience for larger projects.

The most common mistake is underestimating the vehicle's weight and choosing an axle capacity that's too low. Always verify your car's actual weight including fuel and cargo, then select a car hauler with appropriate axle capacity to ensure safe, legal transport without overloading.

Use ratchet straps, bungee cords, or rope to tie down loads at multiple anchor points along the trailer's sides. Distribute weight evenly and place heavier items toward the front over the axle. At MK Trailer Rentals, we recommend securing loads before leaving to prevent shifting during transport.
