Description
Our equipment trailers have adjustable ramp widths for various equipment wheelbase variances. Rated for up to 10,000 lbs., our equipment trailers are equipped with hydraulic surge brakes which do not require an electric brake controller in order to have trailer-assisted stopping. The heavier the load the stronger the brakes will enact while decelerating due to heavier momentum force. This allows anyone with a hitch and vehicle that can handle the curb weight of this trailer to actually still have trailer braking power. We love that these trailers have a 1" oak deck floor instead of typical wolmanzied wood because it can withstand much more abuse without actually damaging the trailer deck.
Our insurance requires a minimum 1/2-ton vehicle with a frame-mounted receiver hitch and insert with a 2-5/16" ball. (Complete insert with correct ball size available for rent if needed). The vehicle size required also depends on the curb weight of the load you intend on hauling on the trailer. Check your vehicle, hitch, and ball mount weight ratings to ensure your load does not exceed its maximum limits. If you are unsure if your trailer/load combination is safe, please ask one of our customer service professionals to suggest whether or not we would recommend your application of use.
Need something smaller? We also carry a shorter 12' Equipment Hauling Trailer with a mesh spring-loaded gate on the back.

About This Rental
What Contractors Are Saying
Real feedback from operators who've used this equipment
"I had a great experience with Wards Equipment Rental. The rental process was quick and easy, and both pickup and drop-off were smooth and hassle-free. The staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful. Everything went exactly as it should. Highly recommend Wards Equipment Rental for quality equipment and excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be renting from them again!"
"I have rented a couple times from Ward's including a rental that required delivery/pickup. Each time they were professional, punctual, and practical. They showed me the specifics of the equipment and are the best I have found in regards to fuel cost policies. The rental costs are very competitive and they are now my first place to check for rental equipment."
"I would highly recommend you call Ward's Equipment Rental first for all of your rental needs. Staff is fantastic and their equipment is light years better than the other rental places in the area. Prices are better in most instances as well. Front desk staff works very hard to get you what you need, when you need it and for how long you need it. Give them a call. Wood chippers get busy, so call ahead."
