TrailersPlus Minneapolis(north of the Twin Cities)
Our store sits in Columbus, MN, about 30 miles north of both downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul - roughly 35 minutes up I-35. From either downtown, take I-35 North (I-35W from Minneapolis, I-35E from St. Paul) to where the freeways rejoin, then continue north toward Forest Lake and follow the signs to 9541 152nd Ave NE in Columbus. It's an easy straight shot from anywhere in the metro.
To make sure a trailer specialist is available to walk your unit, check your hitch compatibility, and get your paperwork started, we ask that you schedule an appointment before stopping by.
What Our Customers Are Saying
“Maxwell did a great job helping my wife purchase her first trailer. Very informative, helpful, and patient with clients that don't have a lot of knowledge. Highly recommend.”
Bill R. — Minneapolis, MN
“I had a lot of fun getting hooked up with my brand new dumping trailer today. Staff was able to match my excitement and we all had a good time with the whole deal. And what a deal! Stop thinking too much about it and get your trailer while the getting is good!”
Andrew C. — Minneapolis, MN
“Simply the best purchase transaction that I have experienced in 45 years. The entire team from Carl, Max and Nick did a tremendous job, especially Carl with making sure we understood the safety features of the trailer. Thank you.”

Steel Trailers for the North and East Metro
Minnesota gives a trailer four genuinely different jobs a year, and the hardest one is standing still through winter. Every unit on our Columbus lot is brand-new and framed in high-tensile structural steel rather than aluminum, because the frame is what has to survive a decade of that.
Dump Trailers
Black dirt, aggregate, mulch, and demolition debris move constantly through Anoka, Ramsey, and Washington counties. Our dump trailers pair 10-gauge steel decks with dual hydraulic scissor lifts, and the short northern building season means they work hard in a compressed window rather than steadily across twelve months.
Enclosed Cargo Trailers
An enclosed cargo trailer is the difference between tools that are dry and tools that are not, which stops being an abstraction somewhere around November. Interstate’s DuraFrame steel framework and Quadra-Sealed roof keep the contents sealed, and the trades running service calls from Blaine out through the east metro treat them as mobile shops.
Utility and Landscape Trailers
The everyday open deck - utility trailers with pressure-treated decks, fold-down mesh ramp gates, and single or tandem axles. Landscape crews through the summer, and in a market where a lot of people own a machine for the cabin, an open deck that loads a side-by-side or a sled without ceremony. Deck material question? See the Wood Deck vs. Metal Deck guide.
Equipment Trailers and Car Haulers
Low-profile decks and Dexter axles with integrated electronic braking on our equipment trailers - skid steers between sites, a compact excavator up I-35, or a project car across the metro. Deck width is normally what decides whether a machine fits, so measure the outside of the tracks before shopping on rating.
Financing and Rent-to-Own
On-site financing at competitive fixed rates through Sheffield Financial and RockSolid Funding, with no early payoff penalties. Rent-to-Own through C3 Rentals requires no hard credit check, allows same-day pickup, and moves a share of every payment toward ownership.
Service and Inspections
The seasonal pattern here is brutal on trailers that sit. Bearings that held one position for five months, tires that lost pressure slowly, and a dump battery that quietly discharged all want checking before spring rather than during it. Every new trailer includes two free 40-point safety inspections at 12 and 24 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How far up I-35 is the store?
- About 30 miles north of both downtowns, which is roughly 35 minutes. It is a straight run from anywhere in the metro, and it means you get to look the trailer over in person before towing it home rather than taking delivery sight-unseen.
- What does a trailer need before it sits through a Minnesota winter?
- Get the tires up to pressure, make sure the dump battery is actually being charged by the tow vehicle, and clean and grease the 7-way connector. Then move it occasionally if you can. Bearings that hold one position for five months are the most common spring problem we see.
- Why does everything need checking again in March?
- Because the whole metro's work restarts in the same three weeks. A trailer that stood since November usually developed something quietly, and February is a far better time to discover it than the first week of a job. That is what the free 40-point inspections are for.
- Should I buy a dump trailer or a utility trailer?
- If most of your load is loose material that comes off by hand, the dump repays the difference in labor inside a season. If you are mainly moving machines, the open deck is easier to load and cheaper to keep. Crews doing both usually end up owning both eventually.
- What makes the Interstate models different?
- The frame is a DuraFrame steel framework with aluminum siding over it, and no other retailer sells Interstate. If you are comparing our quote against an aluminum-framed trailer, the two are not equivalent structurally.
- Can I order a custom build and collect it in Columbus?
- Yes. Give us the specification and we will put it into production - typically 6-8 weeks - and you pick it up here, a short drive up I-35.
