Kaufman Equipment Trailers for Sale in Texas

Equipment trailers take some of the hardest abuse of any trailer category — constant loading and unloading of heavy machinery, vibration stress from steel track machines, and daily use on construction sites, pipeline corridors, and ranch land. Kaufman Trailers has built a following in the Texas contractor market by producing equipment trailers that hold up under this kind of use without requiring premium pricing. Trailer Place in Wharton, TX stocks Kaufman equipment trailers in a range of GVWRs and configurations to cover everything from mini excavators to full-size track loaders.

Kaufman 10,000–14,000 lb GVWR Equipment Trailers

The entry point in Kaufman’s equipment lineup is ideal for compact equipment haulers — mini excavators (up to ~8,000 operating weight), skid steers, small track loaders, and compact utility tractors. Standard configuration in this class typically includes a 20-foot deck with a dovetail ramp, treated lumber or steel floor options, and tandem 5,200 or 7,000 lb axles. Electric brakes on both axles are standard; breakaway kit is included for DOT compliance. The 12,000 lb class is particularly popular with landscapers who regularly move a Bobcat or compact track loader between accounts in a single day.

Kaufman 16,000–21,000 lb GVWR Heavy Equipment Trailers

Mid-duty and heavy equipment operators — excavating contractors, pipeline subcontractors, oilfield service operators, and equipment dealers — commonly work in Kaufman’s 16,000–21,000 lb GVWR range. These trailers handle full-size skid steers (Bobcat S740, Cat 272D2), compact excavators up to 10,000 lbs, small bulldozers, and agricultural equipment including hay balers and smaller tractors. Deck lengths in this range are typically 20’–26′, with heavy-duty flip-over ramps or removable gooseneck configurations. Depending on GVWR and your truck’s payload, a 1-ton dually or Class 4–5 truck may be required.

Kaufman Gooseneck Equipment Trailers

For serious equipment haulers who move full-size machines — Cat 308E2 excavators (18,000+ lb), compact wheel loaders, and mid-size dozers — Kaufman’s gooseneck equipment trailers in the 21,000–25,000 lb GVWR range offer the carrying capacity these jobs demand. Gooseneck configuration improves tongue weight distribution compared to bumper pull, reducing sway and improving braking performance at highway speeds with heavy loads. Many Texas oilfield contractors and infrastructure crews prefer gooseneck equipment trailers specifically for this stability advantage on open highway hauls between job sites.

Dovetail vs. Tilt Options

Kaufman equipment trailers are available in traditional dovetail configurations and hydraulic tilt configurations. The dovetail is the standard choice for tracked machines — the sloped tail reduces the approach angle for machines with limited blade/bucket clearance. The hydraulic tilt option is a favorite among equipment dealers, rental companies, and operators who load multiple machines per day without chains or assistance — you tilt the deck, drive on, tilt back, and you’re secured in under two minutes. Both configurations are available with slide-in or bolt-on ramp options for further versatility.

Pricing and Financing

Kaufman equipment trailers in the 10,000–14,000 lb class typically run $7,500–$11,500 depending on deck length and ramp configuration. The 16,000–21,000 lb class falls in the $12,000–$18,000 range. Gooseneck configurations start around $16,000 and increase with length and axle count. Trailer Place works with multiple financing lenders and can accommodate self-employed contractors, seasonal businesses, and buyers with challenged credit.
