At some point, everybody needs to move something bigger than their own vehicle can handle. If you enjoy hauling a fully loaded trailer and want to start a side hustle, consider the perks of starting a moving or junk removal service service. With a dependable tow vehicle and a rust-proof aluminum trailer from ALCOM, you can haul stuff and get paid to do it.

If you already have an aluminum trailer, turn it into some extra income this year with a junk removal service. If you don’t have an aluminum trailer yet, but you want one, a moving or junk removal service gives you a prime opportunity to get a trailer you’ll actually use.

If you don’t have an ALCOM aluminum cargo or utility trailer already, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s look at some options for ideal aluminum haulers for moving services and junk removal businesses.

Why Choose an Aluminum Trailer?

When you’re starting a business or expanding a small service into a full-time gig, budgeting is key. When you invest in equipment like a truck, trailer, and other big-ticket items, you want them to last a long time and perform reliably. We don’t build trucks, but if you bring the tow vehicle, we’ll get you hitched onto the perfect aluminum trailer for your business.

Why choose an aluminum trailer in the first place? There are a few key advantages when you choose an aluminum utility or cargo trailer over a steel competitor of the same size:

1. Aluminum doesn’t rust, and steel does. In many parts of the USA, salt-treated winter roads can accelerate the rust process on steel trailers, quite literally eating into your profits when your trailer grows holes. Repairs and replacements dig into your profits, and a rusty trailer doesn’t make a great first impression.

2. Aluminum is about one-third the weight of steel and has a superior strength-to-weight ratio, making an aluminum trailer significantly lighter than a steel trailer of the same size. A lighter trailer means less wear and tear on a tow vehicle, and it may reduce fuel consumption. A lighter trailer is also easier on its own components and your parking spot.

3. Screwless aluminum side panels on ALCOM’s enclosed aluminum trailers give you a perfect rolling billboard for your business. Without lumpy fasteners between each panel, you can smoothly apply vinyl wraps or custom decals to advertise your services and start generating new business everywhere you haul.

ALCOM builds all-welded, all-aluminum enclosed cargo trailers, open utility trailers, and commercial grade dump trailers.

Aluminum Trailers for Moving Services

Moving can be really stressful. Hiring a large moving service is too costly for many families, but renting a trailer or box truck isn’t always feasible - or safe. It takes a little practice to safely load and haul a trailer, and that’s where you come in. With a full-size truck and an ALCOM enclosed aluminum cargo trailer or car hauler, you can solve customer problems of all kinds. Move furniture from a rental apartment to a newly constructed home a few hours away or just across town; transport a collector car bought online; haul estate sale or auction purchases for local businesses; you name it, people need to move it.

Go for a big, burly enclosed aluminum gooseneck car hauler or scaled-up cargo trailer if you’re starting a moving service. An enclosed trailer protects cargo from the elements without the need for convoluted tarps or coverings. Inside the trailer, optional wall studs let you add wall anchors or custom attachments like E-track and accessories. Add as many D-rings as you want to the trailer’s floor, or choose a slotted track for floor anchors. Choose the exact trailer length and height you need, and get a spring-assisted rear ramp door or barn doors and stowaway ramps (heavy-duty ramp upgrades available).

ALCOM makes it easy to set your trailer up for a successful moving service from day one. With ramp and door options, interior lighting, and tie-down options available, choose your favorite features - and get your business up and rolling! 

Aluminum Trailers for Junk Removal Services

Get a commercial utility dump trailer from ALCOM for maximum multi-purpose junk hauling potential. Why a dump trailer? When it comes to maximizing your investment, an all-aluminum commercial dump trailer is hard to beat. ALCOM’s commercial dump trailers are available in four sizes (6x10, 6x12, 7x14, 7x16) and have standard features including a 17” dump body and 6” filler board slot, rear swing-open bar doors, 16” O/C floor crossmembers and an 8000# pedestal jack. They have tandem Dexter leaf spring axles, heavy-duty diamond pate fenders with corner steps, extruded aluminum decking, and recessed LED marker lights. Every commercial aluminum dump trailer has a 12V hydraulic pump and front hoist system, with a tongue-mounted hydraulic storage box. A retractable canvas tarp system allows covered or open hauling. 

Customize your commercial grade aluminum dump trailer further with extra options like:

• Side wall upgrades to 24", 36", 48", or 48" with 24" expanded mesh perimeter;
• Upgrade to 3-way dump system OR 8K ramp kit (available in 72" or 96"; ramp kit and 3-way dump system not compatible);
• Extra D-rings in the trailer deck (5000# recessed HD with backing plate or 6000# stainless steel recessed swivel style with backing plate available);
• A gooseneck upgrade is available for open trailers if your tow vehicle has a gooseneck hitch; talk with your local ALCOM dealer for details about this update!; 
• Add a bolt-on spare tire carrier; wheel and tire upgrades are available as well; 
• Upgrade your 7x14 or 7x16 commercial aluminum dump trailer from two (2) 6K leaf spring braked axles to two (2) 7K leaf spring braked axles.  

An enclosed aluminum cargo trailer works well for junk removal, too; our enclosed aluminum cargo trailers are available up to 8.5' wide and 20' standard length (additional trailer box height and length is available). Choose wheel, tire, and axle upgrades to fit your custom-sized cargo trailer. Add interior organization options like wall studs, E-track, and recessed D-rings for secure loads every time. Get a flooring upgrade for extra durability and easy cleanup. A side access door and spring-assisted rear ramp door give you easy access. Don't skip the LED interior lights for easy visibility on any job!
