I have a tele handler that weighs about 26,000 lbs. If I was wanting to tow it places, what size trailer would be required? And what size truck to pull it? Anything short of a big rig?

I'd say at least an F-550 - F-750 size truck and a 30k or so trailer would be a good low end, and a single axle semi with a 40k trailer would be good. One could even get by with a dump truck and longer tag trailer, or a big, tandem rollback. You will get many mixed views on this. Good luck.

They do make some pretty long tag trailers, check the ratings on your truck and see what's doable. Finding a decent 30-45k tag trailer is easy, finding one long enough may be a bit tricky.

A good air tag trailer 15-25 ton trailer and a f650 or 4400 international fl70 or bigger. I have seen a triple axle gooseneck behind a small international haul that kind of load. Also depends if your in flat lands like me or mountains.
