Utility Tilt Series trailers
TrailMax Utility Tilt-Bed Trailers pair a smooth hydraulic tilt deck with high-strength tube steel construction, so you can move vehicles, machinery, or bulk cargo without ramps, winches, or wasted time.
All three run rubber torsion axles, electric brakes with a 12 volt sealed breakaway, and a 2-5/16" ball coupler, and all three come in the same three deck layouts: full tilt at 21' 5" overall, a 4+16 at 25' 7", and a 6+16 at 27' 7". What changes is capacity, from 13,100 lbs on the T-12-UT to 18,900 lbs on the T-20-UT.

Utility Tilt questions
Which Utility Tilt do I need?
Match your heaviest load to distributed capacity: up to 13,100 lbs on the T-12-UT, 14,780 lbs on the T-16-UT, and 18,900 lbs on the T-20-UT, all on the full tilt deck. TrailMax recommends averaging 75 to 80% of rated capacity.
Do Utility Tilts need a special hitch?
No. All three use a 2-5/16" ball coupler, adjustable for height, with electric brakes run from a brake controller in the tow vehicle.
How many tie-downs come standard?
Six D-rings and four stake pockets per side on the full tilt deck. The stationary deck versions add more of both.
