Frequently asked questions about pup trailer rental
What is a pup trailer?
A pup trailer is a shorter trailer used for specialized transport, such as delivering parcels, mail or products in busy urban areas. Its compact length makes it easier to manoeuvre than a full-size trailer. Canvec rents pup trailers alongside a full range of rental trucks and trailers. If you need more cargo space, see the dry van trailers in lengths up to 53 feet.
How long is a pup trailer?
Canvec’s pup trailers range from 28 to 45 feet long, with 1 axle or 2 axles (tandem). The right length depends on your loads and on how tight your delivery routes are. For temperature-sensitive goods, refrigerated trailer rentals start at 28 feet as well. For on-site storage rather than transport, Canvec offers 53-foot storage trailer rental.
Can I rent a pup trailer with a liftgate?
Yes, a liftgate (tailgate) is available on Canvec’s rental pup trailers, which makes loading and unloading at delivery points without a dock easier. Canvec also has a dedicated liftgate team for liftgate sales, parts and service. If a liftgate stops working on the road, 24/7 liftgate roadside repair is available, or you can bring it in for workshop repair.
What door and roof options do pup trailers have?
Canvec’s pup trailers are available with swing barn doors or a roll-up door, and side doors are optional. You can choose an aluminum or a translucent roof. All units have air ride suspension and an interior with logistics posts for securing cargo. The closed van trailer rental offers the same door and roof choices in longer lengths. Ask the Canvec rental team which configuration suits your routes.
Can I rent or lease pup trailers in the Montreal area?
Yes. Canvec’s rental fleet is located in Greater Montreal, and short-term trailer rental is offered daily, weekly or monthly with delivery and pickup service. To add pup trailers to your fleet permanently, long-term trailer leasing runs from 1 to 10 years with maintenance included, and the trailers can carry your logo.
