Trailer-Mounted Equipment Buildings

A skid-mounted trailer is an open or partially enclosed heavy-duty trailer with equipment bolted directly to the steel deck. It's the most portable and lowest-profile option — tow it anywhere a truck can go. An enclosed equipment trailer adds a full weather-tight enclosure around the equipment, providing protection from the elements, a climate-controlled environment, and secure lockable access.

Yes. All Fliteway trailers are built to DOT requirements including running lights, brake lights, turn signals, breakaway brake systems (where required), safety chains, and engineered tie-down points. We handle all DOT compliance documentation as part of the build.

Towing requirements depend on trailer weight. Lighter single-axle skid trailers may tow behind a 3/4-ton or 1-ton pickup. Heavier tandem-axle trailers typically require a 1-ton dually or Class 6–7 truck. Gooseneck trailers require a gooseneck-equipped vehicle. We provide the trailer GVWR and tongue weight at time of delivery so you can confirm towing requirements.

Yes. Enclosed trailers include a shore power inlet (typically 30A or 60A, 240V single-phase or 3-phase as required) with a main disconnect and distribution panel inside. Simply connect to your site power source. Generator power inlets are also available for sites without utility power.

Yes. Enclosed trailers can be configured for Class I Division 2 or Zone 2 classified locations with explosion-proof electrical components, purge and pressurize systems, and continuous gas detection. We provide the full documentation package required for AHJ approval.

Typical lead times are 4–8 weeks for standard skid or enclosed trailers, 8–12 weeks for heavy-duty or classified location units. Lead time begins after equipment procurement is confirmed (some equipment items have their own lead times). We provide firm milestones at time of order.

Minimal. Trailers need only a level, stable surface — compacted gravel, asphalt, or concrete. The trailer tongue needs to be set on a stable pad or cribbing if the tow vehicle is disconnected. For enclosed trailers with shore power, an electrical hook-up point within cable reach is required. We provide a site requirements sheet with every project.
