About Renting an Equipment Trailer in Lafayette

An equipment trailer is built for loads that a lighter trailer can't safely handle. Its low deck reduces the angle when driving machinery up the ramps, and the fold-up or dovetail ramps let you roll a skid steer, mini excavator, compact track loader or backhoe straight on without lifting or winching. Tandem axles and a high gross weight rating give you the stability you need when hauling heavy rolling equipment between job sites or moving a non-running vehicle across Tippecanoe County.

Before you hook up, confirm the trailer's rated weight capacity against your machine's operating weight, not just its listed shipping weight. Check that the deck length covers the full footprint of your equipment and that the ramp rating matches the load. Secure everything at four points using binder chains and load binders attached to the trailer's D-rings or stake pockets. If your load is on the heavier end, your tow vehicle may need a brake controller to handle the trailer's braking system safely. Compare equipment trailers available near Lafayette and reserve the deck length that fits your machine.
