About Equipment Trailers

The term “equipment trailer” refers to a broad category of trailers specifically designed to haul heavy, bulky items like machinery and vehicles. These trailers can help turn what would otherwise be a multi-day job into a few hour’s work.

Equipment Trailer Features

Most equipment trailers share a few common features. For example, almost all equipment trailers are open rather than enclosed. While this design doesn’t offer much in the way of protection, it makes accommodating big, bulky cargo much easier. Second, many equipment trailers utilize a flatbed-style design. This provides a broad surface to lash the equipment to while promoting even weight distribution. 

Equipment Trailer Types

There are actually a few different types of equipment trailers. Your standard flatbed-style equipment trailer will work well for most jobs, but more specialized needs may require a more specialized trailer. For example, landscapers will appreciate that landscaping trailers have extra space for tools and a tailgate ramp for easier riding mower access. Another popular style of equipment trailer is the tilt trailer. This type of trailer is great for transporting materials that you need to dump quickly.
