What is a Large Plant Trailer Used For?

A large plant trailer is designed to safely transport heavy equipment that exceeds the capabilities of smaller trailers. These trailers are essential for industries such as construction, agriculture, and civil engineering, where large machinery needs to be moved between job sites.

Transporting

Transporting excavators, telehandlers, and large dumpers to work sites.

Moving

Moving tractors, combine harvesters, and forestry equipment for agricultural use.

Hauling

Carrying generators, compressors, and industrial equipment for large projects.

Key Features to Consider When Choosing a Large Plant Trailer

When selecting a large plant trailer, consider its payload capacity, ease of loading, and security features. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Payload Capacity – How Heavy is Your Load?

Large plant trailers are built for heavy lifting, with typical payload capacities ranging from 3,500kg to 10,000kg+. Make sure to check your machinery’s weight and factor in extra capacity for any additional equipment.​

Load Security – Keeping Your Machinery Safe

Proper load security is critical when towing heavy machinery. Consider these essential features:

  • Heavy-duty tie-down points – Multiple securing options for various machine sizes.

  • Lashing rings & welded hooks – Ensuring a firm hold during transport.

  • Non-slip bed surfaces – Prevents machinery from shifting.

Ramp Types – Choosing the Right Loading System

Different machinery requires different loading ramp styles. The best option depends on ground clearance and weight distribution:

  • Full-width solid ramps – Best for maximum support when loading wide machinery.

  • Split ramps – Lighter and easier to handle while allowing for versatile loading.

  • Hydraulic tilt decks – A premium feature for easy, controlled loading of heavy machines.

Braking System – Do You Need Extra Stopping Power?

Given the weight of large plant trailers, most come equipped with advanced braking systems. Look for trailers with:

  • Overrun brakes – Standard on most plant trailers for added safety.

  • Hydraulic or air brakes – Essential for loads exceeding 3,500kg.

  • Automatic handbrakes – Extra security when parked.​

Trailer Length & Width – Will Your Machinery Fit?

Excavators & Telehandlers

12ft – 16ft trailers with reinforced decks.

Dumpers & Tractors

16ft – 20ft trailers

Multiple Machines

20ft+ trailers with multiple axle configurations.
