To get a trailer in Storage Hunters: Open World, go to the trailer vendor near the Farmyard and the bridge, then buy the first short trailer once your net worth reaches 75,000.
Trailers are an optional upgrade for your vehicle that let you haul far more auction loot per trip, so you spend less time driving back and forth to your shop. You can’t grab one straight out of the gate, though — the vendor sits out by the farm, and the cheapest trailer only unlocks once your net worth has climbed high enough. Here’s exactly where to go and what you need before it becomes available.
Where the trailer vendor is and the net worth you need
The trailer seller is out near the Farmyard and the bridge — head to that side of the map and look for the Trailer Store, the standalone building where you buy trailers for your vehicle. Getting into the Farmyard area itself happens fairly early, around 10,000 net worth, so most players are already able to reach the shop long before they can afford what’s inside.
The catch is the first trailer, the shorter one, needs your net worth to hit 75,000 before it unlocks. A brand-new player can’t buy it on the spot — you have to build your shop up first, sell off items, and push your overall value up to that mark before the purchase becomes available.
How to unlock and buy a trailer in Storage Hunters: Open World
The route is short — reach the Trailer Store out by the farm, then raise your net worth until the first trailer unlocks.
STEP 1/5
Go to the farm and bridge
Travel to the area near the Farmyard and the bridge, where the trailer vendor is located.
STEP 2/5
Find the trailer vendor
Look for the trailer seller around the Trailer Store — this is the only place you can buy trailers for your vehicle.
STEP 3/5
Check the first short trailer
The first trailer is the shorter one, and you cannot buy it instantly as a brand-new player.
STEP 4/5
Build your net worth to 75,000
It requires 75,000 net worth, so keep selling items and improving your shop to raise your value until it unlocks.

Buy the trailer once eligible
Once you reach 75,000 net worth, return to the vendor and purchase the short trailer.

Why a trailer is worth buying
The whole point of a trailer is space. It lets you carry more items after an auction, which means you don’t have to rush back to your shop nearly as often. If you’re winning bigger storage units or hauling away a pile of items, that extra room genuinely saves you time and makes each farming run smoother.
Wait until your shop is earning steadily before buying a trailer — the extra hauling space only pays off once you’re regularly winning bigger units.
Landmarks around the trailer shop and common mix-ups
| Landmark | What to use it for |
|---|---|
| Farmyard | The zone the trailer vendor sits beside; reachable once your net worth is around 10,000. |
| Bridge | Runs alongside the Trailer Store and marks the route in; the Key sits near it. |
| Trailer Store | The building where you buy trailers for your vehicle. |
| Cow Milker | A lost item behind the trailer shop — a landmark that confirms the spot, not a trailer unlock. |
| Key | Found near the Farmyard bridge; opens the Back Alley garage for the Scythe, not a trailer. |
The Trailer Store shares its corner of the map with a couple of other points of interest, and it’s easy to mix them up. The Cow Milker is a lost item tucked behind the trailer shop — handy as a way to confirm you’ve found the right building, but it does not unlock a trailer on its own. Similarly, the Key sits near the Farmyard bridge; it’s a progression item that opens the Back Alley garage for the Scythe, and has nothing to do with buying a trailer.
KEY!
In other words, everything clustered around this area is a nearby landmark or a separate collectible — the trailer itself still comes down to reaching the vendor and having the net worth to pay for it.
Prices, trailer models, and codes worth double-checking
A few specifics around trailers aren’t pinned down cleanly. Exact prices float around the community — a starter trailer near $10,000, a Plow Trailer around $7,500, and a Water Tank Trailer around $5,500 — but these aren’t confirmed as the full lineup or the current in-shop prices, and the exact capacity and handling of each trailer isn’t documented either. Treat those figures as rough guidance, not a fixed price list. And if you’re hoping for a shortcut: there are no active trailer or vehicle unlock codes right now, and no code box in the game — the vendor and your net worth are the only route in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can brand-new players buy a trailer right away?
No. The first short trailer only unlocks once your net worth reaches 75,000, so a fresh player has to build up their shop and sell items first before it becomes available.
Where exactly is the trailer shop?
It’s near the Farmyard and the bridge — head to that side of the map and look for the Trailer Store. If you spot the Cow Milker lost item, you’re right behind the correct building.
Does the Cow Milker unlock the trailer?
No. The Cow Milker is a lost item found behind the trailer shop. It’s a useful landmark for locating the store, but it doesn’t unlock or grant a trailer.
Do codes give trailers in Storage Hunters: Open World?
No. There are no active codes and no code box in the game at the moment, so you can’t unlock a trailer or vehicle through a code — you buy one from the vendor once you meet the net worth requirement.
What does a trailer do?
A trailer increases how much loot you can haul after an auction, so you make fewer trips back to your shop. It’s most useful when you’re winning bigger storage units and want smoother, faster farming runs.
