Staff Expert Tip: “In the 70PI, the ‘PI’ stands for Pipe Top, but the real secret is the tandem axle braking. In a hilly area like ours, having electric brakes on both axles is a game-changer for control—it ensures the trailer stops with you, not against you.”

What is the advantage of the 83-inch width on the 70PI? Most standard utility trailers stop at 77 inches, but the 70PI offers a full 83-inch clear deck width. This is critical for modern UTVs and compact tractors that have wider wheelbases, ensuring you don’t have to squeeze between the fenders or worry about rubbing tires while loading.
How does the spring-assist gate work? The rear ramp gate on the 70PI is equipped with a heavy-duty coil spring system. This offsets the weight of the steel-tube gate, allowing you to lift and lower it with one hand, which is a major benefit during long workdays in Scotia where you are loading and unloading frequently.
What maintenance is required for the Quick-Lubricating hubs? Maintenance is simple: the axles feature a rubber plug in the center of the hub that can be removed to access a grease zerk. This allows you to easily repacking the bearings with a grease gun without having to disassemble the entire hub assembly, extending the life of your axles significantly.
