26MD Plant Trailer

If you’re after a reliable, well-built trailer for transporting your machinery, the Bateson Model 26MD is a solid choice. Designed with practicality and durability in mind, it makes moving your mini excavator straightforward and secure.

With a gross capacity of 2600kg, this trailer is ideal for carrying mini excavators up to 2100kg, or a 1.5 tonne excavator with additional buckets and attachments—perfect for everyday site work.

The 26MD features a heavy-duty hot-dip galvanised steel chassis, offering excellent strength and resistance to corrosion. The integral welded steel treadplate mudguards are sturdy enough to stand on, making access during loading safer and more convenient.

The extended drawbar and high bucket carrier provide good clearance for the excavator boom, helping to prevent contact with the rear of the towing vehicle.

A full-width rear ramp door, supported by heavy-duty gas struts, ensures smooth and controlled loading for a range of machines, including mini diggers and rollers.

To keep your equipment firmly in place during transport, the trailer includes:

  • Welded load securing eyes positioned around the chassis
  • Front corner hooks for additional tie-down points
  • A strong front bucket carrier for added support

To help maximise payload, the spare wheel and carrier are optional extras. This keeps the unladen weight down, giving you more capacity for your equipment.
