Car hauler questions
Before you load it
Will my car fit?
The deck is 83 in wide between the fenders and 20 ft long. That clears almost every car and half-ton pickup. Dually trucks and anything wider than 82 in will not fit between the fenders.
Do you have a winch?
Not on the trailer. If the vehicle does not run, bring a winch or a come-along and tell us when you book so we can set the ramps for it.
Can I haul a skid steer?
Yes, up to about 7,000 lb including attachments. A compact track loader in the 5,000 to 7,000 lb range is the typical limit. Check the machine's operating weight plate and tell us the model when you book.
Do I need straps?
Yes. Four 2 in ratchet straps with axle straps or a chain-and-binder set for equipment. Bring your own or ask about renting a tie-down kit.
