Our trailer lives in Albany, 45 miles from Fort Ripley, and our family loads it ourselves. Folding chairs and banquet tables loaded on a trailer, quoted for the whole weekend. Tents and bounce houses too. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Fort Ripley sits about 45 miles from Albany, a 60-minute drive. We deliver out here regularly. At 45 miles, towing it yourself is the economical call if you have the vehicle for it. If you do not, we will quote the drive honestly.
Fort Ripley is tiny, with roughly 82 residents, and that is precisely why this works here. In a town the size of Fort Ripley, the seating for a big event gets assembled from three different basements. One trailer ends that.
We cover Fort Ripley as part of a run through Crow Wing County that also takes in Randall, Little Falls and Pillager, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. You are renting a loaded trailer, not a chair count. Nobody tallies what you used when it comes back. If your weekend is already taken we will say so straight away, not after you have planned around us.
Steel folding chairs and banquet tables, already loaded on racks inside an enclosed trailer. It rents as one bundle. There is no per-chair rate to calculate, no weekend surcharge, and no separate delivery line unless we are driving it to you. Need more than the trailer holds? Ask — we can add to it.
| What you get | What you pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The loaded trailer | Quoted for the weekend | Chairs and tables on board |
| However many you use | Same quote | We do not split the load or count them back |
| Keep it Friday to Sunday | Same quote | No per-day multiplier |
| Need more than it holds | Just ask | We can add to it |
| Booking deposit | $200 | Reserves the date, comes off the total |
Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. We rent the trailer, not the chair — one flat price whether you pull a dozen off the rack or empty it.
The chairs hang on racks and the tables ride along the wall. You pull what you need off the rack, and at the end of the night you hang them back. That is the entire unload and reload — no stacking hundred-chair towers, no games of trailer Tetris in the dark, and no counting them back in one at a time.
It also means you are never short. The trailer goes out full, so if your Fort Ripley event only needs half of it you still have spares for the ones that end up wet, wobbly or claimed by somebody's cooler.
One quote for the weekend covers the loaded trailer — folding chairs and banquet tables — as one bundle, however many you actually use. A $200 booking deposit reserves the date and comes off the total. Delivery to Fort Ripley is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
About 45 miles from Albany, roughly a 60-minute drive. It is an easy haul if you are towing it yourself.
A 2-5/16 inch ball and a vehicle rated to tow an enclosed trailer — most half-ton pickups and full-size SUVs handle it without any trouble. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is up to it, tell us what you drive in the booking form.
Yes. Delivery quoted by distance applies to Fort Ripley, which is 45 miles from Albany.
Come by Albany and look at it. We would rather you knew what you were getting than guessed from a photo.
Friday is standard for a weekend booking, but if the trailer is free Thursday you can often have it then at no extra charge. It depends who has it before you.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and it is the billing model rather than a discount: companies that price per chair per day multiply by the count and again by the days. We quote the trailer once, for the weekend. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
