About Utility & Light-Duty Tilt Trailers

With a tilt utility trailer, you won’t need to carry or lift ramps to load or unload equipment because the trailer features a tilting mechanism, typically hydraulic in nature, that lowers the rear of the trailer’s deck to the ground so that the trailer in essence becomes a ramp. Manufacturers design tilt trailers in either full-tilt or split-deck designs, with the latter featuring a fixed deck space up front where you can store jobsite materials, attachments, and other items that you want to stay in place while loading or unloading equipment using the trailer’s tilt functionality. The quick and effective design of tilt trailers make them ideal for transporting light- and medium-duty machinery, small vehicles, and much more.

Wide Capacity Range

Tilt trailers often feature a rugged design with strong frame materials, decks with cross-members, and powerful hydraulics. To meet the specific needs of buyers, manufacturers offer tilt trailers in a wide selection of axle, brake, and suspension configurations. Many tilt trailers support a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) up to 7,000 pounds (3,175 kilograms), and some models with multiple axles can handle loads above 14,000 lbs (6,350 kg). Several trailer manufacturers also offer tilt trailers designed for heavy-duty equipment like pallet forks and support GVWRs above 20,000 lbs (9,072 kg). Similar to the wide range of capacities, tilt trailers are offered in a variety of deck sizes, with lengths commonly ranging from 16 to 24 feet (4.9 to 7.3 meters).

Key Features

Tilt trailer manufacturers often offer options to customize their products to fit specific job types. Winch plates, for example, can be added to more easily load machines and vehicles that aren’t self-powered. For equipment that requires a low-loading angle, such as scissor lifts or mini excavators, tilt trailers can be designed with more gradual load angles (often less than 15 degrees) to better facilitate loading and unloading. Tilt trailers with low deck heights are also available to give haulers more options when transporting tall machinery. Powerful hydraulics can be installed to provide additional stability and smoothly transition equipment when loading.
