Commercial hydraulic boat trailers are used by marinas, boat yards, boat haulers, boat dealers and boat builders. Generally this type of trailer is not used for storage of the boat.

Self-propelled

Self-propelled boat movers are not strictly trailers, but hydraulically operated boat movers, with their own tractor unit. They share all of the features of hydraulic boat trailers.

Non-commercial boat trailers

This type of trailer is usually used by the boat owner/operator. The trailer is also used for storage.
