 U-Haul Auto Transport Trailer for CUT

Rent the 24 foot mover. Drive the tractor inside. Close the door. Tow your Nissan back home on the trailer.

 U-Haul Auto Transport Trailer for CUT

The wheel wells on the U-Haul are way wider than the tractor if that is what you were referring to...

I used a similar method when I moved from Alaska to Nevada. I had a 40 foot ocean-going container parked in the yard. I loaded half with all I possessed and saved the last 18 feet for the Tacoma pick-up.

Ramps.... several thicknesses of 3/4 in plywood backed by some 2x4 stringers would hold a lot of weight. but you can also use a loading dock if one is handy.... thats how the truck got on the trailer.... or a slide-back wrecker, that's how it came off.

The ocean going container that I used to move from Alaska had no tie-downs either. But it had a wooden floor. We nailed down 2x4's as cleats and blocked in the tires on the pick-up. It traveled fine, no shifting around.

I don't know what sort of floor you will find in a U-Haul truck. The slide-back/flatbed wrecker is the way to go for both loading and unloading.

May I make the assumption that you are not intending to haul your tractor/backhoe combo with the proposed custom trailer?
