I am about to buy a mini excavator for my company. What type of trailer is best for safely loading and unloading these? Flatbed with ramps? Dump trailer? Something else? Length and width?
Kubota M59, Kubota L3800, Grasshopper 428D, Topkick dump truck, 3500 dump truck, 10 ton trailer, more lighter trailers.
They can be loaded on pretty much anything. Ramps are even optional. I prefer deck over trailers because they’re better for loading other things but for a dedicated job of hauling a mini excavator the lower deck of an equipment trailer would be better. A dump trailer is quite likely the worst option for hauling equipment but has the benefit of dumping so..
What size excavator are you looking at?
