Eager Beaver 10 Ton Trailer

Heavy-Duty Equipment Transport Made Simple

The Eager Beaver 10 Ton Trailer delivers 20,000 lbs of hauling capacity in a package built to load fast, haul safely, and hold up season after season. Eager Beaver trailers are designed for heavy-duty, commercial-grade use - meaning you spend less time worrying about your trailer and more time getting equipment where it needs to be.

Why You'll Love It

• 20,000 lb Capacity – The Eager Beaver 10 Ton Trailer has a capacity of 10,000 lbs per axle, giving you a full 20,000 lbs across two heavy duty Dexter 10K HD axles with heavy-duty bearings. Haul excavators, skid steers, and backhoes with confidence.

• Heavy Duty Dexter Axles – Industry-standard Dexter components mean replacement parts are widely available, reducing maintenance costs and keeping your downtime short.

• 6-Foot Beavertail Design – Eager Beaver trailers often include an 8-degree beavertail for low loading angles, making it safer and faster to drive or roll equipment on and off the deck. The trailer includes 6' ramps to match.

• Electric Brake System with Breakaway Switch – Built for long-term performance with standard electric brakes and a breakaway safety switch required by law in most jurisdictions. The trailers can also be equipped with either electric or air brakes depending on your needs.

• Quick Setup – Simple pintle hitch connection, intuitive ramp deployment, and multiple tie-down locations get your equipment loaded and secured without complicated procedures.

What Makes It Different

Most trailers on the market compromise - they either sacrifice structural integrity for a lower price or make loading a headache with steep ramps and poor tie-down options.

Eager Beaver 10 Ton Trailer is engineered differently:

• 12-Inch Hi-Tensile Steel Mainframe – The mainframe is made of 12" hi-tensile steel, delivering superior strength and fatigue resistance compared to standard welded frames. Crossmembers are pierced through the main beam for stronger load distribution and lower deck height.

• Patented ROTO RINGS® Tie-Down System – They have a patented 'ROTO RINGS'® swivel feature that provides 360-degree rotation at each tie-down point - up to five per side - so you can secure irregularly shaped loads without fighting fixed anchor points. No competitor offers this level of flexibility in this capacity class.

• Cold-Formed Construction – The drawbar and key structural components are cold-formed rather than simply welded, giving the trailer real-world advantages in structural alignment, integrity, and longevity under repeated heavy load cycles.

How It Works

1. Position and Connect Back your tow vehicle into position and connect via the pintle hitch or adjustable lunette eye. Attach safety chains, plug in the 7-way ATA electrical connection, and ensure your breakaway switch is armed. Heavy-duty landing jacks make leveling and hookup straightforward.

2. Load Equipment Deploy the 6-foot ramps and use the 6-foot beavertail's gentle 8-degree slope to drive or roll machinery onto the deck. The low loading angle reduces the risk of equipment sliding or high-centering during loading.

3. Secure and Transport Lock your equipment down using the roto rings tie-down points - each swivel point lets you run straps or chains at the exact angle required for a tight hold. With your load secured and brakes tested, you're ready to haul up to 10 tons safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the maximum equipment weight I can haul? The Eager Beaver 10 Ton Trailer has a capacity of 10,000 lbs per axle - 20,000 lbs total across the tandem axle configuration. Always ensure your tow vehicle and hitch are rated for the combined GVWR, including tongue weight, before hauling.

How durable is the mainframe construction? The trailers are manufactured with a 12-inch hi-tensile steel mainframe, cold-formed drawbar, and crossmembers pierced through the main beam. This construction method reduces deck flex, improves load distribution, and resists fatigue far better than standard welded frames.

Are replacement parts readily available? Yes. Eager Beaver has manufactured trailers since 1946 and maintains a 10,000 sq. ft. parts distribution warehouse stocking over 1,500 line items. Their dealer network spans 300+ locations across North America. Standard Dexter axle components, outer bearing size specs, drum and hub parts, and Goodyear tires are all widely available through this network.

What about braking options? Electric brakes with a breakaway switch come standard. If your operation involves steep terrain or sustained heavy loads, air brakes are available as an option for improved stopping power and fade resistance.

What optional features can I add? Options include additional roto rings tie-down points, toolbox, spare tire mount, extension ramps, and various jack configurations.
