Why Alexandria-Area Buyers Choose Trailer Place
Alexandria sits at the crossroads of Central Louisiana — a busy hub for agriculture, oil and gas, construction, and military traffic from Fort Johnson (formerly Fort Polk). Trailer demand in Rapides Parish is year-round, and buyers here need equipment that holds up in Louisiana’s heat and humidity. Our trailers are built for exactly that. We carry galvanized and powder-coated models, heavy-duty frames, and proven brands that won’t let you down on a job site or a back pasture.
Trailer Types Available
Dump Trailers

Models range from 7×12 single-axle units (7,000 lb GVWR) up to 83×22 tandem-axle heavy-duty builds (25,900 lb GVWR). Brands like Diamond C and Iron Bull offer scissor-lift and telescoping cylinder options. Prices start around $5,500 and scale with size and capacity.
Utility and Flatbed Trailers
From a simple 5×10 utility trailer for yard work to a 20-foot flatbed for equipment hauls, our utility trailer lineup covers every need.

Our livestock trailers include pipe-top and solid-side cattle trailers from 14 to 24 feet, plus our in-house STAR brand galvanized bumper-pull cattle trailers built right here in Wharton. For horse haulers, we carry Calico and W-W slant-load and straight-load models. GVWRs from 7,000 to 14,000 lbs.

These are a favorite for military contractors at Fort Johnson who need secure, mobile storage.
