How to choose the right trailer or container from Nearctis
Shopping for a trailer or container isn’t always easy—but we’re here to keep it simple, clear, and stress-free
this guide will help you figure out what you need, what to look for, and how to shop smart.
step 1: figure out what you need it to do
start with purpose
are you:
hauling horses?
moving heavy gear or tools?
running a food business?
clearing debris?
storing equipment or inventory?
knowing exactly what you need it for will point you in the right direction fast.
step 2: pick your type
here’s what we carry at Nearctis:
horse trailers – designed to move livestock safely and comfortably.
utility trailers – great for general hauling and job sites.
dump trailers – built to handle debris, dirt, and heavy payloads.
food trailers – ideal for mobile kitchens and vendors.
shipping containers – secure, durable, and versatile for storage or transport.
step 3: check size + specs
make sure it fits your needs
ask yourself:
how much space do i need?
how much weight am i hauling?
what kind of hitch does my vehicle use?
do i need ramps, brakes, or extra features?
our listings include all specs up front, but if you’re unsure, just ask we’ll help you sort it out fast.
step 4: new or used?
we offer both
new = longer lifespan, zero wear
used = lower cost, still reliable if properly inspected (we only list gear that passes our checks).
step 5: budget wisely
trailers and containers are investments
don’t just go cheap go smart
look for long-term durability, resale value, and what fits your actual workload.
We’re always happy to help you find something solid within your price range.
