Steel runs about 3500 lbs and Aluminum is about 300 to 500 less. Mortiz makes a great one.. in my opinion. Featherlite for aluminum is the best (again only my opinion)
Corn Pro also is nice.
The less they weigh the faster they die. Heavy also seems to track better for me.
The weight of a typical size horse trailer can depend on the make and model. However, some individuals have reported that they can be in the 2500lb range. It would be best to check with specific manufacturers for exact weight measurements.
It is not recommended to tow a horse trailer with a SUV due to the shorter wheel base. Also SUV's may not have a reinforced frame capable of standing up to the weight of a loaded horse trailer. For a two horse trailer you would need at least a half ton truck, anything over two horses or a trailer with changing room or living quarters will require far more power to tow than any SUV is capable of producing.
at a public scales, weigh the vehicle without the trailer connected, connect the trailer and pull back on the scales leaving the trailer tires off the scale. The difference in the two weights is the tongue weight
HOW MUCH TO HORSE TRAILERS WEIGH?The typical 2-horse trailer, without dressing room, will weigh around 2,600 lbs. Whether it is made of aluminum, aluminum and steel or all steel, makes little difference. Materials used in construction only become a significant weight factor in larger trailers such as a 3-horse and larger.A 2-horse with dressing room will weight about 3,300 lbs. In addition to the trailer, you must also take into consideration the weight of horses and related tack/gear being transported.
The weight capacity for semi trailer is 80,000 LBS. That is calculating with two or more consecutive axles to the nearest 500 LBS.
go to the horse's stall, hit the button with the arrows and click the trailer.
I know that I can fit 12 bodies in the back while pulling a horse trailer full of lime.
There are many people who, when shopping around for a truck trailer, dismiss several trailers because of the weight rating. While some may be doing so for the right reasons, others may be misinterpreting the information and disregarding a perfectly valid trailer. When they look at the weight label on the outside of the truck trailer, they will see that the weight listed exceeds the amount that their truck can tow. This is not the weight rating that you should be looking for when making this decision, however. The weight listed on the outside of the truck trailer is known as the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR. The GVWR tells you the total amount of weight that the trailer can carry. This means that if the trailer itself weighs six thousand pounds, and the GVWR is eight thousand pounds, the trailer can carry two thousand pounds. It is entirely possible for you to tow a trailer with a GVWR that is higher than your towing capacity, as long as the weight of the trailer itself is not higher than the towing capacity. When buying a truck trailer, then, there are a couple things to consider in relation to weight. First of all, you need to take into account how much weight you plan on towing. The amount of weight that you add to the trailer should not cause the total weight of the trailer to exceed the GVWR. In addition to this, you need to consider if the total weight that you plan to tow will exceed the towing capacity of your truck. These are two separate considerations. The GVWR is not used to determine if your truck can two the trailer, it is used to determine how much weight can be safely placed on the trailer. As long as the trailer is made by a manufacturer that is a member of the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association, as it should be, a weight rating label with more detailed information can be found on the inside of the trailer. This will list the GVWR, the Unloaded Vehicle Weight, and the amount of weight that can be added to the trailer, known as the Cargo Carrying Capacity. The Unloaded Vehicle Weight is the weight of the trailer itself. This is the factor that you should be looking at when deciding if it is possible for you to tow the trailer. The GVWR simply tells you the total weight you would be towing if the trailer was completely filled to capacity.
There is no minimum weight.

what is the weight of a 78 nomad trailer
Probably not. Some people use smaller vehicles to pull Brenderup's, a lightweight trailer, but it makes me nervous. I recomend a full-sized pickup that is equipted with a tow package. You need substantial weight to safely pull your horse and trailer. The tow package gives you extra braking power and a heavier, secured undercarriage for a bumper-pull trailer. Make sure you have an expert check your hitch to make sure it is strong enough to pull something as heavy as a horse and trailer.
