The right skid steer trailer comes down to two numbers: the operating weight of your skid steer and the towing capacity of your truck. A trailer with plenty of deck length can still be the wrong choice if the loaded weight exceeds its rating, so start with the operating or transport weight printed on your machine.
The 22ft equipment trailer carries up to 13,000 lbs when towed by a 3/4-ton truck, which covers most standard skid steers. The 24ft equipment trailer carries up to 17,000 lbs for larger skid steers and track loaders. Both are open-deck flatbed trailers that load with ramps.
If you want to drive the skid steer straight on without separate ramps, the 22ft and 24ft tilt deck trailers lower toward ground level for drive-on loading. Compare the capacities and loading configurations below to find the trailer that fits your machine and your tow vehicle. For a deeper walkthrough, read our equipment trailer guide for skid steers.
Loading and Securing a Skid Steer
Loading a skid steer is easiest on a tilt deck trailer, where the deck tilts down so you can drive the machine straight on. On a conventional flatbed, you back the skid steer up ramps and onto the deck. Either way, keep the load balanced over the axles and chain the machine down at all four corners before you hit the road.
Straps, chains, and binders are available upon request so you have what you need to secure a skid steer properly. The goal is zero movement in any direction — if the machine can shift forward, backward, or sideways, it is not secured.
Every trailer on this page requires a 2 5/16 inch ball hitch, a 7-pin plug, and a functioning brake controller. A 3/4-ton truck or larger is needed to reach the full capacity of the 22ft and 24ft trailers. Not sure whether your truck is set up to tow? Our towing requirements guide walks through tow ratings, hitch sizes, plug types, and brake controllers.
