Why Choose a Dedicated Excavator Trailer?

Unlike general-purpose trailers, a dedicated excavator trailer features reinforced frames, optimal weight distribution, and loading ramps tailored for tracked machinery. It’s purpose-built to transport excavators safely, efficiently, and without unnecessary strain on your equipment. 

Its design allows for faster loading and unloading, improving productivity on-site and reducing the risk of damage during transit. This ensures compliance with load regulations. Fitted with secure tie-down points and a stable platform, a dedicated excavator trailer protects your investment while extending the lifespan of both the trailer and your machinery.

Our Range of Excavator Trailers for Sale

Excavators are typically transported using trailers designed for heavy equipment, with the choice depending on the size and weight of the machine. The common types within our range include:

  • Plant Trailers: Heavy-duty trailers with strong chassis and ramps, used to transport compact and mid-sized machinery like skid steers, excavators, and mowers securely between sites.
  • Beavertail Trailers: A type of plant trailer featuring a sloped rear for easier loading of tracked machinery. It reduces setup time and improves safety for industries that move equipment often.
  • Low Loader Trailers: Ideal for larger excavators, with a low deck height for improved stability and compliance with height restrictions.
  • Tilt Trailers: Allows for ramp free loading of smaller excavators, with a tilting deck for an easier drive-on and off.

A Guide to Choosing the Right Excavator Trailer

Selecting the right excavator trailer involves matching the trailer’s capacity, design, and features to your machine and operational needs. It is important that certain criteria are met to ensure the trailer is safe, reliable and compliant.

Quality, Durability, and Safety: The Core of Our Trailers

The quality, durability, and safety of an excavator trailer is imperative to your business, which is why our trailers are built with the utmost care and expertise. The quality of our excavator trailers comes from precision engineering, strong welds, and premium materials. 

This reduces breakdowns, minimises maintenance costs, and extends the trailer’s service life. Equally, they are made to be durable, withstanding the harshest of environments, rough terrain, and frequent loading. The use of high-tensile steel, and corrosion-resistant coatings, ensures our trailers maintain structural integrity and value over years of use. 

Most importantly our trailers are built to be safe while transporting heavy machinery. Strong tie-down points, efficient braking systems, etc, are put in place to safeguard expensive equipment during transit.
