If you are looking to purchase a new industrial trailer for your business, you need to take into account your functional requirements. When looking at single or tri axle trailers for sale, there are a variety of factors to consider –
Choosing a Trailer with Proper Wheels Walk the entire flooring path on your commercial property to look for cracks on the floor, sloped drain areas, ramps, areas with rail road tracks, brick floorings, etc. This will provide you with critical insight on the right kind of wheels your single or tri axle trailer will need to operate in.
How Much Space does Your Property have? Tri or single axle trailers require a large turning radius. Trailers come with multiple steer options such as dual, quad or fifth wheel steer. Furthermore, choosing to pull single trailers or a train of trailers will also influence the turning radius.
How Narrow or Wide are Your Aisles? If you plan on using a high-capacity trailer in a facility that has narrow aisles, turning around to re-travel the same path may not be an option. You may require trailer tongues on both ends to make way for a tugger to travel the path, unhook, then re-hook to re-travel the path. This will allow you to get around without having to turn around.
In addition to this, consider the type of trailer hitch and tongue along with the loading needs of the trailer to identify the right solution for your facility.
