18,400 lbs on the same footprint
The T-16-UT keeps the 21' 5" to 27' 7" lengths of the T-12-UT and steps up to an 18,400 lb GVWR on 2 x 8,000 lb rubber torsion axles. A 3 by 12 inch cushion cylinder with internal metered flow controls the deck on the way up and the way down. 3 inch crossmembers sit on 16 inch centers, and 1 inch D-rings, 17.5 inch wheels, and a sealed wiring harness come standard.
