Load flat, haul heavy
The T-12-UT drops to a low load angle, so wheeled equipment, mowers, and compact machines roll on without ramps. A 3 by 8 inch cushion cylinder with internal metered flow controls the deck on the way up and the way down, so it settles instead of dropping. The frame is tube steel, the axles ride on rubber torsion, the wiring is a sealed harness, and the deck is 2 inch rough sawn fir.
