Choosing the Right Equipment Trailer
A few important things to consider before choosing your trailer.
01
Deck Size & Weight Capacity
Choose a trailer with enough deck space for your equipment's length and width, along with sufficient payload capacity to handle its weight.
02
Loading Ramps & Dovetails
Consider the ramp style and deck design when loading machinery. Fold-up ramps and dovetails can help accommodate equipment with different ground clearances and loading requirements.
03
Flooring & Tie-Downs
Consider the deck material and available securement points. The right setup helps support your equipment during loading and provides options for securing it for transport.
04
Tow Vehicle Compatibility
Make sure your truck and hitch are rated to handle the loaded trailer. Account for the trailer's weight, equipment weight, and applicable towing and tongue weight limits.

An equipment trailer is designed to transport machinery and heavy equipment from one location to another. Common uses include hauling tractors, skid steers, landscaping equipment, and construction machinery between jobsites, farms, and properties.
The right size depends on the equipment you plan to transport, including its length, width, and weight. Measure your equipment and compare its dimensions with the usable deck space. You should also account for the trailer's payload capacity and the weight of any additional attachments or accessories.
GVWR stands for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. It represents the maximum permitted weight of the fully loaded trailer, including its own weight and the equipment being transported. To determine available payload capacity, subtract the trailer's empty weight from its GVWR.
Four Winds equipment trailers offer loading features such as fold-up ramps, with configurations varying by model. Some models also feature dovetails to help with loading equipment. Review the individual trailer listing to confirm the ramp style and included features.
Equipment trailers are commonly used to transport skid steers, tractors, and other machinery. Before choosing a trailer, compare the equipment's weight and dimensions with the trailer's payload capacity and usable deck space. Remember to account for attachments and make sure your tow vehicle can handle the loaded trailer.
Equipment trailers are designed with the needs of heavier machinery in mind, while car haulers are designed primarily for transporting vehicles. Equipment trailers may offer features such as heavier weight ratings, loading ramps, and dovetails to accommodate machinery. The right choice depends on what you plan to haul and the specifications of the individual trailer.
Not every vehicle is equipped to tow an equipment trailer. The appropriate tow vehicle depends on the loaded trailer weight, the vehicle's towing and payload capacities, and the ratings of its hitch and other towing equipment. Always check your vehicle manufacturer's towing guidelines before purchasing.
