About Trail King
Trail King Industries is a heavy-haul trailer manufacturer headquartered in Mitchell, South Dakota, and has built specialized transport trailers since 1974. Its products include lowboys, tilt decks, drop decks and other trailers used to haul construction equipment, heavy machinery and oversize loads.
Trail King trailers on our list
Our eligible equipment list includes the Trail King TK70 lowboy and tilt-deck trailers. Lowboys are used by heavy-haul carriers and contractors moving excavators, dozers and cranes, while tilt decks are popular for hauling compact equipment and skid steers.
How lenders view heavy-haul trailers
Lowboys and tilt decks hold value well because contractors and haulers always need them. Lenders review the trailer's capacity, model year, deck, neck and hydraulic condition (on detachable goosenecks), axles and tires. They also look at how the trailer is used: hauling the owner's own equipment or for-hire heavy haul.
Financing Trail King trailers
Contractors often finance a lowboy alongside the equipment it carries, and heavy-haul carriers finance trailers with their tractors. Lenders look at permits, contracts and the business's experience with oversize loads.
How Trail King equipment financing works
Most Trail King purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
Trail King equipment we help finance
Financing Trail King trailers
Trailers are financed alongside trucks or on their own. Lenders review trailer type (dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, lowboy, dump), model year, axle and suspension setup and, for reefers, the refrigeration unit's hours. Standard dry vans and flatbeds resell widely, while specialized trailers depend more on the buyer's contracts.
Trail King trailers on our eligible equipment list include Trail King Tilt Deck Trailer and Trail King TK70 Lowboy Trailer.
What lenders check on a Trail King trailer
Lenders look at model year, odometer reading, engine and emissions history, and your driving or operating experience. Long-haul use is often reviewed more closely than local or vocational work.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and kilometres or miles, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Trail King equipment
In Canada, trucks and tractors designed for hauling freight with a gross vehicle weight rating over 11,788 kg generally fall in CCA Class 16, while other trucks and vehicles generally fall in Class 10. Trailers have their own rules, so confirm the class with your accountant. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
