Does My Truck Have Enough Towing Capacity
for an Equipment Trailer
Equipment trailers loaded with machinery can get heavy, and the tow vehicle needs to be rated for the combined weight of the trailer and the machine on it. Most full-size one-ton and three-quarter-ton pickup trucks handle standard equipment trailer rentals without issue. For heavier machines pushing the upper end of the trailer's weight rating, it is worth verifying the truck's towing capacity before the rental date.
One thing to keep in mind: attachments add weight. A skid steer hauled with a bucket installed weighs more than the same machine without one. The total configured weight of the machine, not just the base machine specification, is what needs to fit within the trailer's rated capacity. Big Rentals equipment trailer rentals in Laredo are available in configurations rated for a range of machine weights.
