Fort Walton Beach Trailer Rental: Dump, Car Hauler, Equipment & Gooseneck
Fort Walton Beach stays busy. Between Eglin, the marinas off Brooks Bridge, and the constant flow of remodels on Hollywood, Beal, and Mary Esther Cutoff, somebody around here always needs a trailer for the weekend.
Acone's Trailer Rentals is parked on Lee Drive in Mary Esther, so you are not driving across the bay to grab one. We are open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week, and you can see what is open on your dates before you ever call.
Here is what Fort Walton Beach customers book most, what comes with each trailer, and what you need to have with you at pickup.
Common Fort Walton Beach jobs we see
- Beach house cleanouts and remodels. The 6x10 10k dump (Lil Dumpy) eats drywall, old cabinets, and shingles all day, and it comes with a tarp so the load stays put on 98.
- Moving day. The 7x20 7K Car Hauler (Ole Faithful) doubles as a flat deck for couches, washers, or a project bike. It carries a pair of 7ft aluminum ramps and a wireless winch with straps.
- Military PCS moves. We are used to working with active duty timelines and short notice from Hurlburt and Eglin families.
- Contractor jobs across town. The 8.5X24Ft 16K (Big Bertha) handles skid steers, mini excavators, and lawn equipment with room to spare, and it comes with 3/8 chains and binders.
- Heavier or longer hauls. The 7x36 gooseneck (Goosey) has an open center with a steel mesh floor and 9,800 lbs of capacity, so a long load goes in one trip.
Hitch check before you drive over. Every trailer in the yard runs a Round 7 Pin light plug. Three of the four are bumper pulls, one on a 2 inch ball and two on a 2-5/16 inch ball, so know which ball your truck is wearing before you leave the house. The fourth is a gooseneck, which needs a bed hitch, not a bumper.
Make sure your truck can pull it
A half ton pickup that tows a loaded dump trailer fine around town is a different animal with a skid steer behind it. Check your tow rating and your hitch class before you book, not in the driveway on Saturday morning.
Our free Tow Vehicle Guide walks you through it in a couple of minutes, and every trailer page lists the trailer weight, the payload, and the ball size so you can match the numbers yourself.
You need a valid driver's license and proof of insurance to rent any trailer. No license or no insurance card means no trailer, every time.
Booking, payment, and cancellations
Book online and pick the dates you need. You can pay in full up front or put down a 50% deposit, with the remaining balance due on the rental, whichever works better for your job. Florida sales tax is added at checkout.
Cancellations made 48 or more hours before pickup get a full refund. Inside 48 hours there is a 25% fee. Return late and a late fee applies, so build a little cushion into the dates you pick.
Damage protection is available with a flat $150 copay, which is a lot easier to swallow than a repair bill on a beach house job that got messy. See the protection plan for what it covers.
Run the math before you assume the weekly rate is the deal. On every trailer we own the daily rate is cheaper for a short job, and the weekly rate only pulls ahead around five days or more. Monthly rates are there for the long remodels. We also offer delivery if you would rather not tow at all, and we rent to plenty of folks driving in from Shalimar, Wright, Destin, and Navarre.
