Don't choose a skid-steer trailer based on the machine's weight alone.
You need to consider weight, width, attachments, loading and your tow vehicle.
Start With Your Skid Steer
Know the manufacturer's operating weight for your specific machine.
Then account for anything else you're hauling, including:
- Bucket
- Forks
- Grapples
- Augers
- Other attachments
Attachments add both weight and length.
Check the Trailer's Payload
Don't simply look at GVWR.
The trailer itself counts toward GVWR, so check its actual payload capacity and make sure it can handle your machine and attachments.
Make Sure It Fits
Check the machine's width and overall length against the trailer's usable deck.
Also think about where attachments will go and whether the machine can be positioned correctly for proper weight distribution.
Ramps or Tilt?
Either can work, but think about how often you'll load and unload, your machine's ground clearance and the loading angle.
For someone loading equipment every day, convenience matters.
Don't Forget the Truck
The trailer may be perfect for the skid steer but too much for your tow vehicle once everything is loaded.
Check the applicable towing, payload and other ratings for your specific truck and towing setup.
