What is the benefit of a gravity tilt with a hydraulic dampening system? Unlike standard ramps, this system uses a hydraulic cylinder to control the speed of the deck’s rise and fall. It provides a safer, hands-free loading experience that protects both the trailer frame and your equipment from sudden impacts.
How much weight can the 2026 Big Tex 14TL actually carry? With a GVWR of 14,000 lbs and a curb weight of approximately 3,460 lbs, this unit provides a legal payload capacity of 10,540 lbs, making it ideal for mid-sized excavators and heavy-duty skid steers.
Can I haul attachments on the front of this tilt trailer? Yes, the 14TL-20 model features a 4-foot stationary front deck. This is specifically designed to hold toolboxes, augers, or buckets that do not need to tilt, maximizing your hauling efficiency in one trip.
