Is a Standard Trailer Enough for an SVL 75? Safe Transport Tips from ZELVi Equipment

When transporting equipment like the SVL 75 skid steer loader, one of the most common questions is: Can it be picked up on a trailer? The answer is no.
Here’s why this model and similar heavy machinery need more than a standard trailer, ensuring safety for you, the equipment, and the transport team.

  1. Weight Considerations
    • The SVL 75 model’s weight exceeds what most standard trailers are built to handle. By overloading a trailer risks damage to the vehicle, equipment and can lead to dangerous situations on the road.
  2. Safety Concerns
    • Loading equipment that’s too large or heavy for a trailer can lead to accidents, tipping and damage during transit. For a machine like the SVL 75, it’s important to use a heavy-duty trailer designed to support its specifications.
  3. Compliance with Transport Regulations
    • Transporting heavy machinery comes with legal weight and load requirements. The SVL 75’s specifications mean it falls under heavy machinery transport regulations, which prohibit using standard trailers for such loads.
