Equipment Trailers for Sale

Weigh the machine with its heaviest attachment on. Then pick the rating. Ratings here run 7,000 to 25,900 GVWR.

A compact tractor with a loader runs roughly 2,500 to 4,000 lbs. The 10,000-lb class carries that with room left over for a box blade.

A full-size skid steer is a different animal. A Bobcat S66 weighs about 7,150 lbs. That fits a 10k trailer's rating on paper, but it leaves almost nothing for attachments. So the honest answer is the 14,000-lb tandem, and that'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 once you count the buckets in your math.

Heavier than that? A tractor in the 8,000-lb class that travels with its shredder, say, or two machines riding to one job. Those ride on the 20,000-lb-and-up gooseneck equipment decks at the top of this range. We stock those too, and the grid above will show you what's on the ground.

If your load is one skid steer, you're already on the right page. This is the trailer built around that machine.

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 wants the longer dovetail and the heavier ramps, so it steps up from there. 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. A trailer that hauls a machine for a living earns its keep against rental counters. If yours only moves the tractor twice a year, say so — we'll fit the price to that job instead of the bigger one.

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. Ask any store for that number on the unit you like, and you'll know exactly what the trailer costs.

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. That buys a shallower climb, which is what a tracked machine wants. Not sure which one yours climbs better? The dovetail-versus-straight-deck comparison on this page walks it, and any store will tell you over the phone.

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. Anything riding loose gets a tie-down of its own.

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. 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 skips ramps entirely — the deck tips, and the machine walks up. And the trailer your skid steer spends its day loading with dirt and tear-off is a dump trailer.

We stock all five. Describe the job and we'll put you on the one that fits it. If the job you pictured while reading stayed one machine on one deck, the grid above is your shelf.
