How Much Does a Used Office Trailer Cost?

Office trailers can be expensive so consider buying used if you're on a tight budget. You won't have the luxury of customizing the trailer to suit your space needs. But, you'll still have a large selection of sizes and amenities from which to choose. Moreover, you'll save thousands of dollars. Office trailers are a great way to solve temporary space needs. Whether you're looking for short-term office space on a construction site, extra storage space during a move or renovation, or portable classroom space – a used office trailer may be just what you need.

Used Office Trailer Average Costs #

The price of a used office trailer depends on several factors: the size of the trailer, its age and condition, and the type of amenities.

Used office trailers begin at around $3,000 and can cost up to $20,000 or more. This may sound like a big investment. But, it's a substantial savings over the $15,000 to $45,000 it will cost you to buy new.

Here is a general ideal of what you can expect to spend for various sizes and configurations of used office trailers:

• A standard, 8' X 32' trailer with amenities like heat and air conditioning, wiring and basic furniture will run you $3,000 to $7,000 in fair condition. Trailers that are immaculate or ones that were custom built will cost more.
• A large, double-wide trailer with dimensions of 24' X 44' will cost anywhere from $8,000 to $20,000. This will commonly include heat, air conditioning, wiring, and telephone and internet jacks.
• For $15,000 to $20,000, you'll be able to purchase a large, very gently used trailer with lots of amenities including a kitchen and private offices. Many times these are sold complete with features like steps leading to the front door, awnings, and skirting to cover the trailer wheels.

Choosing a Used Office Trailer #

Not all used office trailers are alike. Some are sold in "as is" condition with little or no warranty. Others have been completely refurbished to like-new standards and are sold with comprehensive warranties and service plans. Buying "as is" will save you money. But, it can be risky. If the heating or plumbing system fails a month later you'll be left with the repair costs.

Never buy a used office trailer online without seeing it first. You'll have no idea of what you're getting until it has been delivered. Then, it's too late to turn back. The trailer could be filthy or the electrical system could be faulty. It's best to buy from a professional dealer who puts his or her name and reputation behind the product.

Many dealers offer both new and used office trailers. So if you're still unsure about which is a better fit, a dealer can walk you through the pros and cons of each. The largest single drawback to a used trailer is that you're not getting a custom design, but the cost savings make that sacrifice seem small.
