Jeep trailers, a specialized solution at Transwest, provide additional axles for load distribution, ensuring safety and versatility in your commercial trailer fleet.
About Jeep Heavy Haul Trailers
A jeep trailer connects to the towing vehicle’s fifth wheel at the front and it also contains its own fifth wheel to receive another trailer at the rear. Simply stated, the jeep sits in between a truck and the trailer. Jeep typically have one, two, or three axles to help better distribute the load of the trailer. Ruggedly constructed and able to support tens of thousands of pounds, jeep trailers increase the load-carrying capacity of existing trailers in your fleet.
Jeep trailers are used frequently within the construction, oil and gas, and other commercial industries. When heavy equipment is being hauled and more weight needs to be carried by additional axles, jeeps may provide a solution. For companies that don’t always haul exceptionally heavy cargo, having a jeep in the fleet provides flexibility to accommodate the occasional customer request. For specialized jobs in construction or oil and gas where the equipment used infrequently can be very large, jeeps are used to transport the load safely.
Transwest sells both new and used jeep trailers to a variety of industries. Trusted brands such as Trail King, Scona, and Towmaster, are available to buy outright or to finance with the help of our team. Along with providing tailored advice and service to help you find the jeep trailer that’s best for your business, we offer trailer service and parts to keep your equipment on the road.
What is a jeep trailer?
Jeep trailers increase the payload capacity of an existing trailer by spreading the load over more axles. The jeep trailer sits between the truck and the trailer you are looking to scale. The jeep trailer itself is built to withstand heavy-duty operation and contains a fifth wheel/ and one, two, or three axles to better distribute the load.
Each state has regulations about the permitted weight per axle. In order to ensure compliance as well as safety, operators must keep the weight per axle below the legal limit. Jeep trailers provide extra axles over which to distribute the load, adding versatility to your trailer fleet and allowing for the occasional heavy haul when your customers need it.
How long is a jeep trailer?
Jeep trailers will vary in length depending on the gooseneck specifications and the number of axles.
