Cheyenne has a lot of dirt moving right now. Between the data center projects around the city, the power and utility work that comes with them, and ordinary commercial and residential building, contractors and subcontractors are running more crews and more equipment through Laramie County than usual.
That creates a practical problem: where does the equipment trailer, the job trailer, or the spare work truck go when it isn't on a job site? Hotels and RV parks don't want a 20-foot flatbed taking up spaces, job sites aren't always secure overnight or between phases, and a lot of neighborhoods don't allow trailers in the driveway.
Outdoor vehicle storage fills that gap. This guide covers what fits in a standard spot, how to handle several spots at once, and the rules that matter most to contractors, so there are no surprises on move-in day.
What contractors store with us
Highway 85 Storage is outdoor parking — gated, fenced, and camera-monitored, but open-air. That makes it a good fit for anything that lives on wheels:
- Enclosed cargo and job trailers — tool trailers, small office trailers on wheels, and mobile-shop setups.
- Equipment and flatbed trailers, including trailers with equipment loaded on them.
- Dump trailers and utility trailers.
- Work trucks and service-body pickups that aren't needed every day.
- Crew members' personal RVs, boats, and toy haulers while they're working in Cheyenne.
Vehicles and trailers need to be registered and operational, and everything stored must match what's listed on your lease. If you want to store something unusual — standalone equipment that isn't on a trailer, for example — call us at (970) 695-9309 before you reserve, and we'll tell you honestly whether it will work.
Will it fit? Sizing a 10×30 spot
Our spots are 10 feet wide by 30 feet long, and everything has to fit inside the painted lines — including the trailer tongue, hitch, ladders, and anything hanging off the back. Measure bumper to coupler, not just the deck length. As a rough guide:
- A 7×16 enclosed trailer usually runs about 20–22 feet overall with the tongue, so it fits comfortably.
- A 20-foot equipment or car-hauler trailer is typically around 24–26 feet with the tongue, so it also fits.
- A crew-cab, long-bed pickup is generally 20–22 feet long.
- A truck and trailer left hitched together, or a long gooseneck, will usually go over 30 feet. For those, we can combine two adjacent spots for rigs up to 60 feet.
Those numbers vary by manufacturer, so check your own before you pick a spot. Width is rarely the problem: most trailers are 8.5 feet wide or less.
Need several spots? Use a Large Order
On the reservation page you can pick up to five specific spots right on the live lot map, next to each other if you want them together. If you need six or more, for a crew or a fleet, use the Large Order option instead. Tell us how many spots you need and when, and we'll follow up to set it up rather than making you click through them one at a time.
The rules that matter most for contractors
Every storage lease has fine print. These are the parts that tend to come up with construction customers, so here they are up front:
- No loose fuel or hazardous materials. Fuel and propane are fine in a vehicle's or machine's factory-installed tank, but jerry cans, spare propane cylinders, solvents, paint, and chemicals can't be left in a spot.
- No repairs or maintenance on site. That includes fluid changes, welding, tire changes, and washing. The lot is for parking, not for working.
- No running generators or compressors beyond briefly starting a vehicle to move it.
- Everything stays in your spot. Nothing can be staged in the drive aisles, even for a few minutes, because other tenants need to get their rigs in and out.
- Gate codes are personal. Each tenant gets their own code, and codes can't be shared or passed around a crew. If several people need to come and go, call us before you sign so we can work out the right setup.
- It's storage, not lodging. Nobody can sleep or stay overnight in a stored RV or trailer.
Access that works with construction hours
Crews start early and finish late. The gate is open 24 hours a day, every day, using your personal code, so you can pull a trailer out at 5 a.m. or drop it off after dark. Staff are available 9am to 6pm daily for anything else.
Month-to-month terms fit project work
Construction schedules shift constantly. All of our leases are month-to-month, so you can keep a spot for one phase of a project or for the whole build, and give notice when the job wraps up. There's no long-term contract to buy out.
What you'll need at move-in
Before a gate code is issued, we collect the vehicle's registration, proof of ownership, an insurance certificate, and a photo ID. You'll sign the lease electronically, and rent is charged monthly to a card on file. Having the paperwork ready for each trailer or truck makes move-in quick.
