Travel Trailers – When your work is done, and you’re ready to head out into the wild, leaving behind your job site or farm, you will want to purchase a travel trailer. Some of the travel trailers that you come across are incredibly elaborate, featuring full kitchens, bathrooms, and large bedrooms. However, if you are going to be traveling short distances, and only sleeping in the trailer for a few nights, you may want to save yourself a good bit of money and go with one of the smaller travel trailers that are available.
Semi Truck Trailers – If you run a business, or commercialized farm with heavy equipment, you may want to think about picking up a semi truck trailer. The smaller trailers can be pulled behind heavy duty dually trucks, while the larger trailers are going to require a full semi truck to be able to legally pull them. You can check with your local DOT to determine the qualifications of what sizes and weight semi trailers you are able to pull with the equipment that you have.
Open Trailers – If you are clearing land, large amounts of concrete or rocks, or large brush piles, you are going to want to pick up an open trailer. The trailers do not have a top on them which makes it easy for you to dump the load that you are carrying whenever you are finished with it. You can find these trailers ranging in lengths from 8’ to 40’ or longer, depending on exactly what you need it for. These are also used for hauling farming and construction equipment from one location to another.

If you are hauling flammable liquids you will be required to register the load with the state before you come and go.
Flatbed Trailers – Flatbed trailers are considered the heavy haulers. They are used to transport large pieces of machinery that cannot legally be driven down the public byways. Most times you are going to be required to use a crane to properly load these types of trailers. However, a few models contain ramps and a lower center section that allows you to drive the equipment onto the trailer and keep its center of gravity low enough so that the trailer can be safety transported from one location to another.
