Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tag-a-long trailer?
A tag-a-long is an equipment trailer pulled behind a towing vehicle through a drawbar and pintle hitch. Its own axle group supports the load, and equipment typically loads over rear ramps. Tag trailer, tagalong, and tag along are other names for the same trailer type.
What are tag-a-long trailers used for?
Tag-a-long trailers haul construction and agricultural equipment, including excavators, dozers, loaders, rollers, and tractors. They connect behind a suitable towing vehicle with a drawbar and pintle hitch and typically load over rear ramps.
What capacities do Globe tag-a-long trailers come in?
Globe's main tag-a-long families are 20, 25, and 30 US short tons, with payload ratings of 40,000, 50,000, and 60,000 pounds. A 22.5-ton configuration with a 45,000-pound payload rating is also available.
How do I choose between a 25-ton and a 30-ton tag-a-long trailer?
A 25-ton Globe tag has a nominal payload rating of 50,000 pounds; a 30-ton tag is rated for 60,000 pounds. Include the machine, attachments, and anything else carried on the trailer. Then compare usable deck space, ramp fit, and load distribution. The truck and pintle hitch must support the loaded trailer, including its own weight.
Does the ton rating mean payload or GVWR?
Globe names its tag trailers by payload capacity. A 30-ton tag carries a nominal 60,000-pound payload. Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) covers the trailer and its load together. Loaded trailer weight is the empty trailer weight plus everything carried on it; use the specific trailer's ratings rather than treating 60,000 pounds as its GVWR.
How many axles do Globe 25-ton and 30-ton tag trailers have?
Globe offers 25-ton tag trailers with three axles and 30-ton tag trailers with three or four axles. Front lift axles are available.
What deck lengths are available on a 25-ton or 30-ton tag trailer?
Deck length is built to order for your equipment. Options include 24-, 26-, 28-, and 30-foot main decks. Beavertail and drawbar lengths are separate from the usable flat deck: a 24-foot main deck with a 5-foot beavertail provides 24 feet of flat load space.
What loading ramp options does Globe offer on tag trailers?
Globe offers spring-assisted, air-powered, and hydraulic ramps. Options include wood-filled or cleated surfaces and individual or full-width ramp arrangements. Ramp length and width can be selected for the equipment being loaded.
Can a 25-ton or 30-ton tag trailer haul pavers and rollers?
Yes. Globe has configured 25-ton and 30-ton tags for pavers, including longer beavertails and wider, longer ramps. Low-clearance equipment needs a loading arrangement matched to its clearance and approach angle. Powered ramps assist ramp handling; the ramp and beavertail geometry determine the loading angle.
What truck and hitch do I need for a 25-ton or 30-ton tag trailer?
Use a truck with a compatible pintle hitch, trailer air-brake connections, and electrical connection, rated for the loaded trailer. Include the trailer's own weight as well as the equipment. Load position also matters because it changes the weight carried at the pintle and trailer axles.
Do Globe 25-ton and 30-ton tag trailers use air brakes?
Yes. Globe 25-ton and 30-ton tag trailers use air brakes. The towing truck needs compatible trailer air-brake connections; an electrical brake controller alone does not operate the trailer's air brakes.
What deck and suspension do Globe tag-a-long trailers have?
Globe tag-a-long trailers are available with oak or Apitong hardwood decking and spring-ride or air-ride suspension. Other decking choices include pine, Rumber composite, and steel diamond plate.
Are Globe tag-a-long trailers custom-built?
Yes. Globe builds tag-a-long trailers to order with choices of capacity, deck length and material, ramp arrangement, axles, and spring-ride or air-ride suspension. Dealers also sell completed units.
When should I consider a lowboy or hydraulic trailer instead of a tag?
Consider a lowboy, hydraulic-tail, or sliding-axle trailer when the machine's dimensions, loading clearance, or weight distribution do not suit a tag. A machine can be within the tag's payload rating yet place too much weight at the pintle or rear axles. Globe can compare trailer types using the equipment's weight and dimensions.
Can I buy a tag trailer from stock or order one from the factory?
Globe builds tag trailers to order and authorized dealers sell completed units. Browse dealer inventory for a suitable trailer or request a factory build. Availability and completion timing depend on the specific unit and current production schedule.
