what size trailer?

[BoFuller]

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.

I do have a dumptruck - a 1980 F8000

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.
