An Overview of Equipment Trailers

Trailers have revolutionized many industries, turning nearly impossible jobs into a simple hour or two’s work. And few trailers get as much use or do as much work as equipment trailers. If you’re in a line of work that requires you to haul heavy cargo like pieces of equipment, then you'll want to carefully select the right equipment trailer. This guide will help.

What Is an Equipment Trailer?

The term “equipment trailer” is actually a general category of trailers that includes several different models. Typically, though, all of these models have some things in common. First, they’re built tough, since they’re designed to haul equipment or other heavy-duty cargo. Second, they tend to have fairly flat, smooth beds, making them perfect for moving heavy machinery or materials.

Types Of Equipment Trailer

As we mentioned, this is a fairly broad category. At a glance, though, trailers that fall under this heading include:

• Landscaping trailers, with their low walls, tool storage, and a tailgate ramp that a riding mower can access
• Flatbed trailers, which lack walls in order to better carry large, unwieldy, or strangely shaped objects and materials
• Utility trailers, perfect for moving small loads of cargo
• Tilt trailers, designed to easily dump supplies or material from the bed

Choosing the right type of trailer will require you to determine which features will best meet your hauling needs. Think about the cargo you intend to haul and how heavy or bulky it is so that you can choose the right equipment trailer.
