What is the benefit of a tilt deck versus traditional ramps? A tilt deck like the 14TL removes the safety risks and physical labor associated with heavy flip-over ramps. It provides a much lower loading angle (12 degrees), which is essential for low-clearance equipment like scissor lifts or small rollers that typically high-center on standard ramps.

How do I maintain the hydraulic system on this trailer? The 14TL uses a simple, gravity-fed hydraulic dampening system that requires very little maintenance. Keeping the cylinder rod clean and occasionally checking the fluid level in the reservoir ensures the deck continues to descend smoothly even in the freezing temperatures we see in Amsterdam.
