Used Roll Former Trailers for Sale

Roll former trailers carry portable roll formers, coil reels and accessories to the jobsite so panels can be formed on site. They may be purpose-built for a specific machine or adapted from general equipment trailers. Roofers often buy a trailer with a machine, but trailers also sell on their own when a crew upgrades or needs to replace a worn one.

What to check before buying

  • Title and registration: make sure the seller can transfer a clean title in their name.
  • Rating: check the gross weight rating on the trailer plate against the loaded weight of machine, coils and gear.
  • Axles, brakes and tires: look for worn tires, weak brakes and bent axles.
  • Frame and deck: check welds, rust and any cracks around mounts.
  • Machine mounts: confirm the mounting fits your machine and holds it level.
  • Lights, wiring and coupler.

Questions about Roll Former Trailers

Will a used trailer fit my roll former?

Ask the seller what machine was mounted on it and get measurements of the deck, mounting points and coil rack positions. Compare those to your machine's footprint and weight. A trailer built for a different machine can sometimes be adapted, but plan for welding, new mounts and checking the balance.

What should I check on the trailer title?

Confirm the name on the title matches the seller, the VIN on the title matches the trailer frame, and there are no liens. Rules for trailer titles and registration vary by state, so check with your local motor vehicle office about what you need to register it.

Do I need a special truck to tow a roll former trailer?

It depends on the loaded weight. Add the weight of the trailer, machine, coils and gear, then compare to your truck's towing and hitch ratings. Heavier setups may need a larger truck, brake controller or a different hitch. Some loads may also bring licensing requirements in your area.
