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.
