What is the benefit of a gravity tilt over traditional ramps? A gravity tilt trailer like the 14TL removes the physical strain of lifting heavy ramps and provides a much safer, wider loading surface. It also allows for a shallower 12-degree approach angle, which is essential for loading “low-slung” equipment like scissor lifts or asphalt rollers that usually bottom out on standard ramps.
How does the stationary deck on the 14TL help with work efficiency? The 4-foot stationary front deck is a game-changer for local contractors because it allows you to keep your buckets, augers, or palletized supplies loaded at the front without needing to tilt them. This keeps your center of gravity stable while you load or unload your primary machine on the rear 16-foot tilting section.
