Looking for a commercial grade equipment trailer, suggestions?

it looks like hudson sure likes to push the #s. for example look at the GCWR than the axles and tires on the hudson V kaufman. IMHO I would go with kaufman as the spec's look more realistic.

Yeah, the Hudsons are rated for a higher load capacity, but I think they are figuring on a higher tongue weight as well. I've looked closely at both Hudsons and Kaufmans over the years and they both seem to be high quality, but are also constructed very differently.

The Kaufmans are more conventional with a piece of channel for the tongue then the trailer body made of another piece of channel on top of that. The Hudsons use just one piece to make the tongue and the trailer body. While that wouldn't seem as strong, the channel iron they use is massive compared to other trailers, might be higher tensile as well, IDK.

I used to work for Centreville Trailer and they may be able to help you out. They're located in MD. Here's a link to all of their trailer models, so you can see if they have what you're looking for. I'm not sure if they will have something in your price range, but you can call them up and get prices on the trailers. Hope this helps. Good luck!

If you want a commercial trailer you need to look at Towmaster and Traileze. Top of the line without a doubt but there spendy also.

Update:

I decided to go with Kaufman and placed an order last week, they said it'd be about 2 weeks to build it (custom order.) I decided to be realistic on wants vs needs and went with an 8000lb, 18' flatbed utility trailer. It is the same as the 8000lb equipment trailer except it has slide in ramps vs fold up ramps. I also had them upgrade it to the heavier diamond plate fenders and a 7K jack. For $2600 I thought it was a pretty good deal.


Since I have been using an 8000lb 18' trailer for the past few years I decided it was big enough for my current needs. I also realized that for the bigger equipment I will be needing in the future any standard fender equipment trailer wouldn't be big enough. To fit a utility tractor with loader and bush hog would take about a 22-24' trailer, and at that point you might as well go with a deck over (out of my budget right now.)

I'll post pics and review when I get it.
