Trailers for skid steers, tractors and lifts
An equipment trailer earns its keep the day you need to move a machine and the trailer is already rated for it. We stock Diamond C and BND equipment haulers in Grandville – low-profile and heavy-duty decks in the 20 to 24 foot range, plus galvanized builds for anyone tired of touching up rust every spring. Use the filters below to narrow by length, deck width or GVWR, or scroll the full lineup and see what is on the ground today.
Buying an equipment trailer without guessing
Most people arrive knowing the machine they own and very little about the trailer it needs. That is the right way round – the machine decides almost everything.
Start with weight, not deck length
Look up the operating weight of your machine, then add the attachments you actually carry. A skid steer that weighs 7,000 pounds bare can land close to 9,000 with a bucket, forks and a full tank. That total needs to sit comfortably under the trailer GVWR, not scrape it. A trailer loaded to its limit stops badly, wears tires fast and leaves you nothing spare the day you borrow a heavier machine.
The other number that matters is your truck. Payload, hitch rating and brake capacity all cap what you can legally pull. Bring the door-jamb sticker off your truck and we can work it out together in a couple of minutes.
Deck height changes how you load
A low-profile deck sits closer to the ground, which flattens the approach angle for anything with low clearance – scissor lifts, mini excavators, tracked machines. A standard deck gives more ground clearance underneath and usually more frame depth. If you have ever scraped a lift on the ramps, you already know which one you want. If the machine is only part of the job and you are also hauling tools and material, the contractor trailers page covers the work-spec enclosed and dump options.
Ramps, tilt or dovetail
Slide-out ramps are lighter and cheaper and they suit machines you load a few times a month. A tilt deck removes the ramp lift entirely, which your back notices if you load daily. A dovetail gives a shallower angle without carrying ramps at all. None is better in the abstract; it depends on how often you load and what you are loading.
Bumper pull or gooseneck
Bumper pull covers most of what contractors move around West Michigan and it hooks to any truck with the right hitch. A gooseneck buys stability and a higher rating once you are into serious weight, at the cost of a bed hitch and a wider turning circle. Moving one machine and a load of attachments, bumper pull is usually enough.
What we stock in Grandville
Diamond C equipment haulers in low-profile and heavy-duty builds, in the 20 and 24 foot lengths that cover most skid steer, tractor and lift work, plus BND galvanized equipment trailers for anyone working near salt, water or year-round Michigan weather. Galvanizing costs more up front and ends the annual argument with rust underneath.
Everything we sell can be serviced here. Bearings, brakes, lights and decking are handled in the shop on 28th Street, so the trailer does not have to go somewhere else the first time it needs something. See the service department or value your trade-in.
