Frequently asked questions about dry van trailer rental
What sizes of dry box trailers can I rent?
Canvec rents dry box trailers from 28′ to 53′ in length, in tandem (2 axles) or tri-axle (3 axles) configurations. You can choose swing barn doors or a roll-up door, optional side doors and an aluminum or translucent roof, with air suspension and logistics posts inside. Rent them through our short-term trailer rental or our long-term trailer leasing.
What is a dry van trailer used for?
A dry van, or closed van trailer, carries dry goods in an enclosed box, from raw materials to finished products and machined parts. It moves goods from one production site to another or delivers them to points of sale. For cargo that needs temperature control, Canvec also rents refrigerated reefer trailers; see all our truck and trailer equipment for rent.
Can I rent a dry van trailer with a liftgate?
Yes. A tailgate (liftgate) is available on Canvec’s closed van trailers, which helps when you deliver to locations without a loading dock. Canvec also offers liftgate sales, parts and service and liftgate repair in the workshop or on the road, so a liftgate breakdown doesn’t stop your deliveries.
Can I rent a dry van trailer for just a few days?
Yes. Dry box trailers are available on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, with a delivery and pickup service. If you come to our facility, your trailer is ready for the road in less than 15 minutes, and the return inspection also takes less than 15 minutes. See our short-term dry van rental for details.
Can a closed trailer be used for on-site storage?
Yes. Canvec rents 53-foot storage trailers that are delivered to your premises or a site of your choice, dry, clean and ready to use. Leasing is flexible by the week, month or year, and you can extend the term if needed. See the specifications of our 53-foot storage trailers.
