Trailer and horse float storage in Echuca
A trailer is handy for a few days a year and in the way for the rest. Left on the street or the nature strip, it can fall foul of council rules; left in the yard, it takes the space you need and weathers in the sun. A lock-up unit at Echuca Storage, 11 Murray Valley Highway, Echuca, keeps it out of sight, out of the weather and ready to hitch up.
We have 300 drive-up units, including tall-door units. Trucks can drive in, there is room to tow in and turn, and gate access is 8am–8pm, 7 days. Call (03) 4410 8566 with your trailer’s length and height.
$1 first 4 weeks for new customers, then the normal rate. 3-month minimum stay, direct debit only, ends 31 Dec 2026.

Which unit for a trailer?
Measure the overall length from the tip of the drawbar to the back of the trailer, including a spare wheel or ramps, and the overall height to the highest point: cage, canopy, float roof or camper lid.
| Trailer (overall length, guide) | Unit | Rate (per 4 weeks) |
|---|---|---|
| Box, cage or tradie trailer up to about 5.5 m | 6.0m × 3.0m | $254 |
| Tall trailer or horse float up to about 5.5 m | 6.0m × 4.0m H | $266 |
| Car trailer or camper trailer up to about 7 m | 7.5m × 3.0m | $278 |
| Long car trailer or tandem float up to about 7.5 m | 8.0m × 3.0m | $320 |
A small box trailer may fit a smaller unit, and a trailer plus household goods may suit a bigger one. Doors in the boat and caravan area are 3,000 mm high, and trucks can drive in. Call us with your length and height and we will match a unit. Every rate is on sizes and prices.
Horse floats: a few extra steps
- Horse floats are accepted. Measure the overall height to the roof or highest point. Doors in the boat and caravan area are 3,000 mm high, and trucks can drive in. Call us with the height and we will match a unit.
- Muck out and wash the float before it goes in. Manure, hay and feed are perishable and attract pests, so they can’t be stored.
- Dry the floor and mats so nothing goes mouldy in a closed unit.
- Take out rugs, feed bins and tack that need airing, or store them clean and dry in a separate box.
- Check the tyres and bearings; floats often sit for months between events.
- Chock the wheels and lower the jockey wheel onto a block.
Getting a trailer ready for storage
- Empty it. Rubbish, green waste and anything perishable can’t be stored.
- Hose off mud and dry it.
- Grease the coupling and check the safety chains.
- Pump the tyres to the right pressure.
- Cover the coupling and lights if they are exposed.
- Make a note of the registration renewal date so the trailer is road-legal when you need it.
Why lock-up trailer storage
- Out of the weather. Sun perishes tyres and fades paint; rain rusts floors and bearings.
- Off the street. Check Campaspe Shire or Murray River Council rules before leaving a trailer on the road for long.
- Hitch up and go. Every unit is drive-up, so you can back your vehicle to the door and hitch up without manoeuvring around other people’s trailers.
- Flexible terms. Standard terms have no lock-in and no minimum stay, with 4 weeks’ notice to leave.
