TRT has developed this simple and easy to use trailer selector table. All you need to know is the estimated size of the payloads to determine the best trailer for your operation.

 

We have developed this simple and easy to use trailer selector table. All you need to know is the estimated size of the payloads (even future payloads). This trailer selector is designed to give you an indication of what type of trailer/low loader can work for your operation. There are plenty of options and variables that can change requirements and payloads so our expert team is here to help you. 

The trailer selector is designed as a guideline only. We will work with you to determine the detailed requirements, available options, and your application to give you a detailed quote.

If you are still unsure of the right option, we are here to help.
