Construction trailers form an integral part in their equipment array. They are instrumental in providing the power needed to make every hauling job on the construction site faster, easier and more profitable. Construction trailers help in lifting and moving heavy equipment and construction parts from on place to another part. These items cannot be transported by normal vehicles. Often these construction trailers are custom made to perform specific jobs.

There are four types of construction trailers - dump trailers, equipment trailers, tail-along trailers, and Gooseneck trailers. Dump trailers take care of all types of dumping needs on the construction sites. The dump trailers are commonly used on farms, nurseries, construction sites, golf courses and many other places. Dump trailers function as multipurpose vehicles from hauling to storing construction debris for later disposal. Most dump trailers are made of top-grade materials and latest construction techniques to eliminate bending and breakage in all stress areas and are very cheaper than dump trucks.

Equipment trailers are used for hauling small to medium sized equipment on a construction site. The heavy duty equipment trailers are constructed with the help of channel iron mainframe and tubing cross-members, and axles for bearing the heavy load. Standard slipper spring suspensions are used in the construction of equipment trailers. Tail-along lines can haul heavy loads over long distances with 16" centered cross-members, a modular wiring harness, chain storage area and a 100" wide deck. Tail-along lines are useful in transporting heavy-duty equipment or building parts to the construction site.

There are two types of Gooseneck trailers -- the Gooseneck with flat beds and the Gooseneck with tilt beds. Flat bed trailers are used in hauling medium to large sized equipment. Their features include items a 10,000 LB drop-foot jack, stake pocket tie downs, safety chains, and pressure treated decking. Tilt bed trailers come with features such as rear impact guards, sealed wiring harness, oak decking, x-bracing, 11°-14° loading angle when tilted, and come in 6-12 ton models with various bed widths and lengths. These trailers can be tilted while loading and unloading heaving equipment.
