Trailer Hire in Stafford

North Brisbane's Self-Serve Trailer Depot

AJ Trailer Hire's Stafford location on Matthews Street is our north Brisbane hub. Trailers are physically stored on-site at this address — available for self-serve pickup 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There's no hire desk, no appointment, and no waiting for staff to show up. Book online, grab your padlock code by SMS, and collect your trailer whenever it suits you.

If you're anywhere in Brisbane's northern suburbs, Stafford is almost certainly your closest pickup point. Residents from Chermside, Kedron, Aspley, Everton Park, and Wavell Heights all use this location as their go-to self-serve trailer depot.

What People Use Our Stafford Trailers For

North Brisbane is a diverse mix of established family homes, newer developments, and investment properties. The kinds of jobs we see from Stafford bookings vary enormously:

• Moving house — whether you're upsizing from a unit in Chermside to a house in Aspley, or downsizing from a large family home after the kids have moved out, a box trailer gets your furniture and belongings moved without the cost of a removalist.
• Green waste and garden cleanups — North Brisbane's larger blocks generate a lot of clippings, prunings, and green waste after storms or major garden projects. Our high-caged trailers hold a significant volume of green waste in a single trip.
• Renovation debris — bathroom tiles, old carpet, plasterboard, and broken-down timber all need to get to the tip. A tandem trailer can take the kind of volume that would take four or five car trips with a covered trailer.
• Furniture and whitegoods transport — picking up a second-hand couch from Marketplace, moving a washing machine to a new address, or transporting a bedframe that won't fit in a hatchback. A box trailer solves these jobs in one easy run.
• Trade and business use — small businesses in the Stafford and Newmarket areas use our fleet for deliveries, equipment transport, and stock movement. The daily and multi-day hire rates make commercial use cost-effective.

Trailer Sizes and Pricing

We run three trailer sizes out of the Stafford depot, and all are available to book online at any time:

• 8×5 box trailer — the most popular size. Ideal for household moves, green waste, single-room loads, and tip runs. Fits easily in a standard driveway and can be towed by most passenger vehicles and SUVs.
• 10×5 box trailer — extra length for bigger loads. If you're moving a full lounge suite, a large amount of furniture, or oversized items, the 10×5 gives you the space to do it in fewer trips.
• Tandem trailer — maximum capacity. When you're doing an entire house move, carting commercial quantities of material, or need to clear a large site in one run, the tandem is the tool for the job.

We offer hire by the 4-hour block, full day, or multi-day depending on the scope of your job. A security deposit is held during the hire and fully refunded when the trailer comes back in good order. Pricing is shown clearly during the online booking process — no hidden charges or surprise fees at pickup.

How the Pickup Process Works at Stafford

The entire process is designed to be fast and phone-based. Here's how it works:

• Book online at any time — takes about two minutes.
• Verify your identity by uploading a photo of your driver's licence.
• Pay the hire fee and security deposit securely online.
• Receive a booking link via SMS to submit your pre-hire photos.
• Once photos are in, your unique padlock code is sent to your phone by SMS.
• Drive to Matthews Street, Stafford, find your trailer, enter the code, and you're off.

On return, park the trailer back in its spot, submit your post-hire photos through the same booking link, and your security deposit is released. The whole return process takes less than five minutes.

Why Stafford Works for North Brisbane

Stafford sits at a natural crossroads for Brisbane's northern suburbs. Gympie Road, South Pine Road, and the inner-city bypass all run within close reach, making it easy to get in, collect your trailer, and head in any direction without fighting against traffic. Whether you're heading up to Aspley or Chermside, south into the city, or west to the suburbs, Stafford is a practical starting point.

We're a local Brisbane family business — not a national franchise with call centres and online queues. The people behind AJ Trailer Hire actually live in the area and have built the system to be as simple and reliable as possible.
