What is the benefit of a 2-foot beaver tail?
A beaver tail is an angled slope at the rear of the deck that shortens the incline. When combined with the 5-foot ramps, it creates a much shallower loading angle, which is critical for ensuring low-clearance machinery like skid steers or zero-turn mowers don’t hang up on the deck.
How does the cleated tail help in the winter?
Standard wood decks become incredibly slick when wet or frozen. The steel cleats on the beaver tail act like teeth for your tires or tracks, providing the mechanical grip necessary to climb onto the trailer safely during the harsh winters common in the Mohawk Valley.
Why is a 14,000 lb GVWR necessary for my equipment?
Modern skid steers and mini-excavators often weigh between 8,000 and 10,000 lbs. Once you account for the weight of the trailer itself (approx. 2,800 lbs) and your attachments, a 14k rating is the minimum required to stay within legal payload limits and ensure your tires and brakes can handle the load.
