How much would you guess a 3 horse steel living quarters trailer weighs?

A solid steel, 3 horse trailer with living quarters. BIG trailer, probably 30ft long. Horse area around 7x7 or maybe a little bigger.





If any of you have steel trailers and could make a weight guess, I just want to get a ballpark idea.





How much would it weigh empty? How much would you say it would weigh with three horses, loaded water tanks, and camping gear?|||Did a brief google, and found 3 which look like aluminum:





10,400 pounds: http://sandwfeeds.com/gooseneck-horse-tr鈥?/a>

14,000 pounds: http://sandwfeeds.com/3-horse-trailers/3鈥?/a>





An all steel model will be substantially heavier. Even these trailers are too heavy to be pulled by a pickup truck, and would need a special truck for hauling. Even a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup cannot safely haul these weights.





You would also have to add weight for:





3 people (500 pounds)


3 horses (3,000 pounds)


gear/water/etc. (1,000 pounds)





That would be my rough guesstimate.








Edit: Found another interesting website

that says:





"TABLE OF GVW AND TRAILER WEIGHT COMBINATIONS

1500 SERIES (Known as 陆 ton) 7000 lbs


2500 SERIES (Known as 3/4 ton) 8600 lbs


3500 SERIES (Known as 1 ton) 11,400 lbs





TRAILER WEIGHTS





The weights shown here are from Double D Trailers in North Carolina. I use them because the trailer they make is made of steel and are heavyweight trailers.





I also have used the tack room style or living quarters style because they are the heaviest. If someone is using a pure stock trailer, it will be lighter in weight.





2 Horse Trailer with Tack Room 4400 lbs


3 Horse Trailer with Tack Room 5100 lbs


4 Horse Trailer with Tack Room 5500 lbs


3 Horse Trailer with Living Quarters * 11,500 lbs





*This is a monster, fully equipped.





Combination weights





Normal situation.


2500 Pickup plus 3 horse trailer plus 3 horses


8600 + 5100 + 3300 = 17,000 lbs





Extreme Case


3500 Pickup plus 3 horse with LQ plus 3 horses


11,400 + 11,500 + 3300 = 26,200"





This is from the New York Farm Board, which should be a good source.
