Trailer Weight? Anyone want to take a guess at what an aluminum tandem bunk trailer weighs?

Re: Trailer Weight? I doubt your trailer is over 2 k empty. Probably not 1k

Re: Trailer Weight? It will be near 2K, possibly over. I looked in the ez loader catalog I have, and 9K is 1800-ish, 12K are 2000-ish.
You'll have to weigh it I guess.

Re: Trailer Weight? Look on the label for the GVWR. Then look for the capacity. Subtract the capacity from the GVWR and you have the weight of the trailer.

Re: Trailer Weight? My 8,500 lbs. GVWR aluminum, tandem axle, bunk trailer weighs 1870 lbs. I just happened to look at the weight ticket today when cleaning my truck.

Re: Trailer Weight? I'll weigh it next week to make sure. This could be interesting.

Re: Trailer Weight? Rolls, triple axle, 18,000# GVWR, for a 34' aluminum pilothouse with twin DF-300s = 2953#. Trailer has lots of options which adds to the weight and are not included in the weight on the data plate. If you really want to know what your trailer weighs you will need to weigh it - don't trust the data plate.

How aboout a statement from the manufacturer?

Well, there's no way that a 10,500 pound capacity trailer that is around 35' long weighs under 2000 pounds!
