A Landoll trailer is a hydraulic tilt-bed trailer originally named for its manufacturer, Landoll Corporation, whose lower deck hinges down toward the ground so cargo, including a shipping container, can be pulled on or off without a crane. In the container trade the name is often used loosely for any trailer that works this way, describing the same slide-off mechanism as the tilt-bed trucks Containers Delivered runs.
The mistake people make with the term Landoll trailer is treating it as a separate, fancier delivery option from the plain tilt-bed truck already described on this site. It isn't a different method. It's largely the same one, described with a brand name that became generic, the way people say Kleenex for any tissue or Coke for any soda in some parts of the country.
That mix-up matters because it can make a reader think they need to specifically ask for one piece of equipment over another. You don't. Asking whether the delivery truck tilts its bed to slide the container off gets you the same information.
Landoll Corporation built one of the earliest and best-known hydraulic tilt trailers, and the design proved popular enough that the name stuck to the whole category. Plenty of trailers doing this exact job on the road today aren't actually Landoll-brand units at all; they're built by other manufacturers using the same tilting-deck idea.
What matters for a delivery is the mechanism, not the badge on the trailer's frame: the deck tips down at the rear, the truck pulls forward, and the container slides off under its own weight and settles onto the ground or a set of blocks.
If you've read the term Landoll trailer somewhere and wondered whether it changes anything about how Containers Delivered handles your order, it doesn't. The pull-in room, the overhead clearance and the level ground you need to prep are all the same rules that apply to any tilt-bed rig, straight truck or tractor-trailer.
About 65 feet of straight clearance for a 20-ft container, about 95 feet for a 40-ft, and clear sky over the whole approach, since the front of the box lifts several feet in the air partway through the slide.
