About This Finance

Tag Trailer

Tag trailers, also called tag-alongs, hitch to the back of a truck with a pintle or ring coupling. They're used to move plant, machinery and materials by civil contractors, farmers and hire businesses.

They're a smaller, more affordable step than a full semi or low loader, and lenders know them well. Lenders look at the trailer's capacity and builder, and the business using it. A tag trailer is often financed together with the truck that tows it or the machine it carries.

Tip: check your truck's towing rating and coupling before buying, especially if you're stepping up to a heavier tag trailer. Upgrading the truck's coupling or brakes adds cost.
