Help with Long-Term Equipment Setup

What you are describing would really only be able to be pulled by a class 6 vehicle or larger, with a pintle hook. Ball hitches are not legally allowed to pull that kind of weight, and pickups pulling a gooseneck can't really handle that much weight, either. Ideally, something like this would be pulled by a 10 wheel dump with a pintle hook, and the trailer would have a forged loop. This setup would require air brakes, so a CDL of maybe a Class B (but more likely a Class A) would be needed. The regulations for air brakes in the US are NOT the same as European regulations, and any vehicle imported (even trailers) would have to pass USDOT regulations (which are numerous). And trust me, there are literally DOZENS of custom trailer manufacturers here in the US ready to make something just like this for anybody who asks. Furthermore, foreign heavy trucks and truck equipment are rare, due to the "chicken tax" on imported trucks of something like 20%.

I really don't see how your idea could be viable.

ISO Containers....mounts on US wheels...short term rental book a round trip on the boxes and probably get good terms on the rental/demurage fees.

Just slide his two boxes into two 20' ISO boxes...if it fits, it ships!

There are multiple door options plus open tops and flat racks all geared to be transported here.
