Enclosed Trailers for Sid Steers and Compact Tractors - do they make them

[kevinwak]

When I built my house the concrete guys hauled their skid steer in an enclosed trailer that looked like a stock trailer. It had pull out ramps similar to an open trailer.

That’s going to be a pricey trailer. Door and floor rated to take a skid steer in and out on a daily/weekly basis is going to have to be built pretty heavy. Plus the proper tie downs rated for the machine weight. Ouch $$$$

Yes, but it will probably be a lot less COST than TWO trailers and take up a lot less space. Like I've written before - I've one trailer. Sometimes it's an equipment trailer




and hauls my tractors (ONE AT A TIME)

Sometimes it's a trailer with sides to haul stuff



Sometimes it's an enclosed so I can move my household from Virginia to Mississippi

.

I don't have room to easily store two trailers and have not yet justified spending $4K for an enclosed trailer to add to my fleet.

Why not do something similar to Newbury and build an enclosed trailer out of an equipment trailer?? Use stake pockets to mount the frame for the enclosed part

The cost of doing a decent job would be more than buying a proper trailer.

How so?? Assuming he aready has his equipment trailer it should cost less then $1500. If your buying new hd enclosed trailers for Less please let us know where

The op never said he already had a trailer. I seriously doubt you can build an enclosed trailer that doesn’t look like crap for $1500.

Reason why I said assuming. I'm guessing you've never visited a trailer supply store? Can buy all materials for reasonable cost and do the work yourself. You can buy corners and everything that are factory replacement

 

[4570Man]

No, I’ve never been to a trailer supply store. Maybe it works maybe it doesn’t. I’ve not seen very many homemade equipment that was anywhere close to as good as commercial built stuff. The ones that are cost more than just buying one.

Is the ramp designed to take 4500 pounds in the middle of it or a 4500 pound vehicle?

4500 pound vehicle on the whole ramp. Not a point load.
