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.
