I need a trailer for a CAT 307 Hydraulic Excavator. The equipment is 18'8quot; long but the only trailers I can find are rated for 15,000 lbs but the equipment weighs 15,598 lb. What kind of trailer would fit these needs?Is it safe to load the trailer over the 15,598 gvwr?Also I would prefer regular style ball trailer or pintle hitch trailer. Rather not go for the gooseneck trailer but if i have to i will.
Hi as this is really a 7 ton unit which normally has to sit on a low loader a normal trailer will not do the job it needs to go on a flat bed articulated trailer.as it exceeds the normal trailer weight. exceed this and the police will pull you over and the trailer and vehicle towing it would be impounded as being illegal. VOSN will take it off you as it is an irregular weight to be on a trailer with a ball hitch or clasp hitch.
