Who We Are

Granite City Trailer Hire has served customers across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire for many years, providing reliable and competitively priced trailer hire for both personal and commercial use.

In 2026, the business was acquired by Connon Trailer Hire, bringing Granite City Trailer Hire into an established, family-run company with more than 50 years of experience serving customers throughout the North East of Scotland.

A New Chapter

The acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Granite City Trailer Hire. By combining the company’s strong local reputation with the experience, resources and customer-focused approach of the Connon family, we aim to continue providing straightforward and dependable trailer hire across the region.

Our range of trailers is suitable for everything from moving vehicles and motorcycles to transporting equipment, materials and bulky items. Whether you require a trailer for a single day or a longer period, we will help you find the right option for the job.
