Benefits Of An Equipment Trailer

How Do You Know If An Equipment Trailer is Right for You

?

In the market for a new trailer and not sure if you need an equipment trailer or another type of trailer to meet your needs? Before you make your major purchase, there are few things that you'll need to consider. First and foremost, you'll need to evaluate what you're planning to haul, how much the load weighs, how to load and unload it, as well as the vehicle with which you are going to pull the trailer. This article will explore each of those options to help you discover whether an equipment trailer, or another type of trailer, is the best option for you.

What are you hauling?

There are many types of trailers out on the market that haul everything from rock and landscape materials, to cars and motorcycles, to heavy equipments such as bulldozers and tractors. So, consider what you are going to haul. If it's rock to beef up your residential landscaping, then you'll probably need a smaller landscape or utility trailer that is open, has sides and may tilt for easier unloading. For commercial projects, you may want to use a dump trailer that can carry load capacities up to 8.4 cubic yards and GVWR of 14,000#.

Open and enclosed trailers are great for transporting vintage vehicles such as cars, trucks and small and mid-size tractors, usually one at a time. If you plan to move more than one, then you should consider a larger equipment trailer that can easily handle the weight of more than one vehicle. More importantly, take the time to estimate expected weight capacity and whether that will ever change. Many times, commercial businesses and individuals plan for now instead of planning for the future. Depending on the type of materials your vehicle is made from, it could get heavier and you could need an equipment trailer that can handle a heavier load. Anticipating these types of details will ensure that you are not wasting money on your investment.

Loading and Unloading

Different types of equipment may have varying load requirements. A quality equipment trailer will have options for spring assisted ramps versus tilt for easy loading. Many models from manufacturers like Moritz have available options like a 3rd ramp, folding gates, steps for easier deck access, and several tie down places for securing your cargo. You'll also want to ask about tread plates and extended ramps.

Bumper Pull vs. Gooseneck - Is There a Difference?

Both the bumper pull and gooseneck trailers have their advantages and disadvantages. Here are some points to consider when choosing the best option for your equipment trailer purchase. Bumper pull trailers can be pulled by most vehicles. (Be sure to check your vehicle's towing capacity for capability.) Gooseneck turns are often easier as the trailer will follow the same path as your vehicle. And, bumper pulls often cost less than a gooseneck.

Equipment trailers with goosenecks attach from within your truck's bed allowing for a more secure hitch and backing up is easier with this type of trailer. Though the benefits are numerous, cost of a gooseneck is always a factor as they need a vehicle with a larger towing capacity and the hitching system will most likely have to be installed into your truck bed.
