Equipment Trailers for Sale

Weigh the machine with its heaviest attachment on, then pick the rating — ratings here go 7,000 to 25,900 GVWR. A compact tractor with a loader runs roughly 2,500 to 4,000 lbs, and the 10,000-lb class carries it with room for a box blade. A full-size skid steer is a different animal: a Bobcat S66 weighs about 7,150 lbs, which fits a 10k trailer's rating on paper but leaves almost nothing for attachments — so the 14,000-lb tandem is the honest answer, and it's where most of this selection sits. A 4-ton mini excavator like the Kubota KX040-4 comes in near 9,500 lbs; a 14k deck handles it if you count the buckets in your math. Past that — a tractor in the 8,000-lb class that travels with its shredder, or two machines riding together — you're into the 20,000-lb-and-up gooseneck equipment decks at the top of the range. And if your load is one skid steer, stop comparing categories. This is the trailer built around that machine; open decks lighter and heavier both hand that job to this page.

Read the price ladder by machine class, bottom up. A compact tractor's 10k-class trailer starts near $4,898. A full-size skid steer's 14k tandem sits mid-shelf, where most of the stock is priced. A mini excavator that needs the longer dovetail and heavier ramps steps up from there. And the 20k-plus gooseneck decks for tractor-and-implement work climb toward $31,099. The deepest stack on our lots today is PJ Trailers at 114 units, alongside PJ Trailers, ARC Trailers, LoneStar, RawMaxx, Norstar, X-ON, Texas Bragg, IRONBULL, Load Trail, Midsota. Money talk is straight at every store: financing and rent-to-own both get written with the loan's total in whole dollars, and a trailer that hauls a machine for a living tends to pay for itself against rental counters fast — if yours only moves the tractor twice a year, say so, and we'll fit the price to that instead.

One habit worth keeping: read every listed price as the cash price it is. Tax, title, and the doc fee come next, sized partly by your state, so the figure to carry back to the shop is the store's out-the-door quote.

Straight-deck equipment trailers carry stand-up ramps — they ride upright at the back corners of the deck and fold down when it's time to load. Dovetail models angle the last feet of the deck toward the ground and store slide-in ramps under the tail, which buys a shallower climb; whether your machine wants the dovetail or the flat deck is its own decision, and the dovetail-versus-straight-deck comparison on this page walks it. Once the machine is up, center it over the axles and chain all four corners — one chain per corner to the welded D-rings, pulled at opposing angles so the machine can't creep in any direction — then drop the bucket to the deck and put a separate tie-down on any attachment riding loose. Those corner D-rings are the reason this category exists in the shape it does. Every store's parts counter hangs transport chain, binders, and replacement D-rings, and most stores run a service bay for the brakes and bearings this trailer will eventually need.

Four neighbors border this category, and each earns one sentence. A flatbed trailer is the general-freight deck — pallets, pipe, and lumber set on by forklift. A deckover trailer puts the whole floor up over the tires when the load needs every inch of width. A lowboy trailer solves height, not weight — its deck rides low so a tall machine still clears. A tilt trailer replaces ramps entirely — the deck tips, the machine walks up. And the trailer your skid steer spends its day loading with dirt and tear-off is a dump trailer. If the job you pictured while reading stayed one machine on one deck, you never needed to leave this page.
