Trailers for Sale Near Hartford, CT

Introduction

From Hartford it's practically one road: Route 2 east about 35 miles through Glastonbury, Marlborough and Colchester to Norwich, then a short hop on I-395 and Route 12 to our lot in Canterbury. OSRM puts it at about 48 miles and roughly 1 hour. Route 2 is four-lane divided most of the way, which makes for an easy first tow home.

Why Hartford-area buyers drive east

Greater Hartford has more trailer dealers closer in, so people who come out to Canterbury usually have a reason:

Two prices on every trailer. Each listing shows the credit card price and the cash or check price, so you can compare against what you've seen elsewhere before you leave home (inventory).

Financing paths beyond a bank loan. ITIN financing with no SSN (proof of residence required), business EIN financing, lease-to-own, C3 rent-to-own, or your own bank (financing). The lender decides approval.

A specific unit. For example, the Hillcrest 14+2 equipment trailer or the 8.5x24 tandem enclosed trailers that don't turn up everywhere.

Matching the trailer to city and suburban work

Commercial contractors in the city and the Berlin Turnpike corridor often run 7x16 or 8.5x20 enclosed cargo as mobile shops. Landscapers in West Hartford, Wethersfield and Newington lean on tandem-axle Lamar and Hillcrest dump trailers. Hobbyists and small shops go for the 16+2 and 18+2 car haulers.

Registering in Connecticut

Plan an in-person DMV visit. Hartford-area buyers can use any CT DMV hub or branch office, and trailers above 3,000 lbs gross weight get a title (CT DMV). Financing buyers: ask us how registration and tax are handled.

Holding a unit

If you've found the right one online, $200 reserves it for a week while you line up the truck. Note that every sale is final (policy).

Before your first tow home

Check three things before you leave the lot. First, the coupler size on the unit page should match your hitch ball. Second, your tow vehicle's rating should cover the trailer's GVWR. Third, the lights and, on heavier trailers, the brakes need a working connection on your truck. Route 2 is mostly highway, but give yourself extra following distance with a loaded trailer behind you.

Commercial buyers in the city

Registering under a business? Start with business EIN financing, which uses your company's tax ID instead of your SSN.
