Buying an equipment trailer in Greenville, SC
How to choose an equipment trailer
An equipment trailer is built to load and haul machinery on an open deck. The number that decides most of it is the GVWR, the trailer total rated weight loaded; subtract the empty weight and you get the payload rating. Look up your machine operating weight and confirm it sits under that rating before you buy. Then match the deck length and the ramp style to how you load.
Weight-class guide
Equipment trailers are sold by weight class. A 14,000 lb trailer covers compact machines and small tractors; a 16,000 lb class steps up for a mid-size skid steer with attachments; 20,000 lb and up is for the heavy stuff and gooseneck loads. Buy the class your machine actually needs with a little margin, not the biggest number on the lot.
Ramps, decks, and hitch
Loading is where these trailers differ. Drive-over fenders and a dovetail let a machine load flat and low; heavy fold-up or slide-in ramps handle taller equipment. The hitch is the other choice: a bumper-pull is simplest and tows behind most trucks, a pintle ring suits rough job sites, and a gooseneck gives you more deck and a steadier tow for the heaviest loads.
Financing and rent-to-own
Equipment trailers qualify for conventional financing, and every one is also available rent-to-own with no credit check. For a trailer that earns while you pay it off, rent-to-own is a common route. Ask us for the monthly figure on any unit.

Frequently asked questions
What weight class of equipment trailer do I need?
Match it to your machine. A 14K trailer covers compact machines and small tractors, a 16K a mid-size skid steer with attachments, and 20K and up the heavy loads. Check your machine operating weight against the trailer payload rating and leave some margin.
Bumper-pull, pintle, or gooseneck?
A bumper-pull is simplest and tows behind most trucks. A pintle ring holds up on rough job sites. A gooseneck gives you more deck and a steadier tow for the heaviest loads. Tell us your truck and your machine and we will point you at the right one.
Do you finance equipment trailers, or offer no credit check?
Both. Equipment trailers qualify for conventional financing and are also available rent-to-own with no credit check. Ask us for the monthly on any unit.
What can an equipment trailer haul?
That depends on the trailer payload rating (its GVWR minus its empty weight) and your tow vehicle. We list the GVWR and weights on every unit; check your machine operating weight against that figure before you buy.
