At TrailerWorld, we offer information on a wide variety of equipment trailers for sale, including trailers suitable for skid steers, mini excavators, compact tractors, scissor lifts, utility vehicles, attachments and other heavy equipment.

Types of Equipment Trailers

Bumper Pull Equipment Trailers

Bumper pull equipment trailers are among the most popular choices for contractors and property owners. They connect to a receiver hitch and can be towed by many properly equipped pickup trucks. These trailers are commonly used for hauling skid steers, compact tractors, mini excavators and landscaping equipment.

Deckover Equipment Trailers

Deckover equipment trailers position the deck above the wheels, creating a wider loading surface without wheel wells extending into the cargo area. This makes loading larger equipment easier while allowing additional cargo flexibility.

Tandem Axle Equipment Trailers

Tandem axle trailers distribute weight across two axles and are commonly selected for heavier equipment and commercial hauling applications. Buyers should compare axle ratings, suspension systems, tire capacities and braking systems before selecting a trailer.

Heavy-Duty Equipment Trailers

Heavy-duty models are built for demanding construction, excavation and agricultural work. Reinforced frames, thicker decking, higher axle capacities, adjustable couplers and durable ramps help support larger equipment while maintaining dependable performance.

Equipment Trailer Features

Heavy-Duty Ramps

Electric Brakes

Most commercial equipment trailers utilize electric brakes on one or more axles to improve stopping performance. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their tow vehicle's brake controller.

Tie-Down Points

Multiple D-rings and stake pockets help secure equipment during transport using properly rated chains and binders.

Pressure-Treated Wood Deck

Many equipment trailers feature pressure-treated lumber decking that provides excellent traction while supporting heavy machinery.

Adjustable Couplers

Adjustable couplers allow the trailer to be matched to different tow vehicle hitch heights, helping maintain proper trailer level during transport.
