The Ultimate Guide to Equipment Trailer Financing

When you think about hauling the toughest loads—heavy equipment, construction materials, or even recreational vehicles—equipment trailers are often the go-to choice. But high-quality trailers come with a price, and financing can be the ticket to getting the trailer you need without a hefty upfront cost.

Why Equipment Trailer Financing Matters

An equipment trailer can be a game-changer for your business, allowing you to transport heavy machinery, tools, and materials quickly and efficiently. But these trailers are an investment, often costing thousands of dollars. Financing provides flexibility, allowing you to spread payments over time and keep cash on hand for other business needs.

Key Benefits of Financing an Equipment Trailer

  • Protect Your Cash Flow: Financing helps you spread the cost over manageable monthly payments, keeping your cash available for other investments.
  • Get Exactly What You Need: With financing, you can invest in the trailer with the features you need, such as hydraulic lifts and tie-down points.
  • Flexible Payment Plans: Financing offers flexible options like zero down and rent-to-own, making it accessible for all credit situations.
  • Tax Benefits: Business-use trailers may qualify for deductions such as Section 179 or Bonus Depreciation, reducing your taxable income.

Use Cases for Equipment Trailers

  • Construction Projects: Perfect for hauling heavy machinery and building materials.
  • Landscaping & Lawn Care: Ideal for carrying mowers, trimmers, and soil.
  • Transporting Oversized Items: Great for moving bulk items like lumber and metal poles.
  • Agricultural Use: Useful for hauling feed, hay bales, and fencing materials.
  • Recreational Vehicle Transport: Ideal for ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes.
  • Debris and Waste Removal: Helpful for removing construction debris and excess materials.
  • Mobile Equipment for Contractors: Allows secure transport of tools and machinery.

Financing Options

  • Secured Loans: Lower interest rates with trailer collateral.
  • Rent-to-Own: No credit check required with flexible payment plans.
  • Layaway: Interest-free payments with ownership after full payment.

Popular Accessories for Equipment Trailers

  • Tie-Downs and Straps: Secure heavy machinery.
  • GPS Trackers: Add security and monitor your trailer’s location.
  • Spare Tire: Essential backup to avoid downtime.
  • Toolbox Add-Ons: Store essential tools for on-the-go repairs.
  • Maintenance Plans: Keep your trailer in top condition.
  • Aluminum Wheel Upgrades: Enhance durability and aesthetics.
  • Locks: Additional security with coupler, hitch, and wheel locks.

Had the pleasure of buying our first trailer for our new business from them this weekend. And let me say I can’t say enough about this company. From the first call with Donna, till we drove off the lot hooked up, they were absolutely amazing! Their inventory is intensive yes, but the customer service is extraordinary! Our purchase experience start with a transfer to Zach who was welcoming and extremely knowledgeable! Shancie took care of the financing and made everything so easy and simple, and Tammy was fast with our paperwork! Noah and Ryan went above and beyond for the install and hookup of all the accessories we choose! These folks are the best around and hire the most wonderful crew! Highly recommend them for any trailer purchase or service needs!

I would like to take a minute and recognize several people at NC trailers. From the start it was Zach & Sam in sales which went above and beyond the process of helping me pick the correct trailer and helping me complete all necessary paperwork when I was literally 1800 miles away driving down the road.Shanice in financing made financing the trailer simple and quick, and behind the scenes Tammy in tag/title department was doing her magic so it all came together as one cohesive unit the day of picking the trailer up.Speaking of picking up the trailer, Ryan & Noah truly went above and beyond expectations working in the pouring rain, while not compromising standards of making sure everything went smoothly and that I was hooked up correctly while taking the time to fully go over every aspect of the trailer and how to hook and unhook the trailer.Tyler in Service & Parts was very helpful with information regarding the Gooseneck hitch for my next trailer.Thank you to each Team member of NC trailers. I HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone needing a trailer.So, if you need any type of trailer, accessory or even a repair, NC trailers should be your First and only stop. They truly make you feel like Family and the trailers are rated top in the Industry and priced very reasonably.Head on over to NC trailers and get your trailer today. Tell them Mitch with a “M” not a “B” sent you, and you should receive an extra smile or two.

I have to say I had great experience with the staff at NCtrailers in Thomasville, NC. The staff up there were amazing. I had the pleasure of being David’s first sale for his new career dealing in this type of equipment. He has had many years in sales and it shows but he decided to venture into a new atmosphere of sales. Working through the contract side of things Shanice was very thorough and was able to give me all the details I needed. She was so inviting and made you feel comfortable through would could be a stressful process.Tammy was a sweetheart with the tag and title paper work and talked me through all the necessary links and info I would need to setup the last little bit of info.Ryan and Noah had me all hooked up and ready to go and even took the time to help me find a short in my connection on my truck so I would be comfortable knowing all the lights and everything worked properly on the new trailer.All in all I had a great experience with the entire staff from parts to sales to service. I will most definitely be recommending them to anyone I know for their trailer needs.Now wish me luck on my lawn care company venture.Lawn Legends LLC.

After searching many sites, I settled on calling NC Trailers of Thomasville, NC. Zach was very helpful over the phone answering my questions. After I decided on a trailer I drove 3 1/2 hours to arrive at their location only 30 minutes before they closed. They didn’t mind my late arrival or staying to complete the sale. I changed my mind on the trailer I wanted and Shaun was very quick to redo all the paperwork for the sale. Noah was also helpful in going over the trailer with me and answering questions I had. And thank you Tammy for saving me a trip to NCDMV, at NC Trailers they can do your DMV registration and you leave with tags already installed. The trailer pulled smoothly all the home.

This company was great! Zach showed us great options, and helped us pick the perfect trailer for our needs. Shawn explained all of the extra packages we could add to it, and finalized the contract. Tammy did a great job at making sure we had our title, tag,and registration taken care of. And, Ryan and Noah got us hooked up and ready to go. Because they have an on-site parts and service department they were able to install the needed brake controller the our truck wasn't equipped with. Wonderful place. Will definitely recommend!
