Does anyone have any experience with tilt bed or full flat deck trailers? I'm looking to replace my 83"x24ft trailer. Main reason being that I don't like how low the trailer is at the back in the 20+4ft dove tail configuration. I'm considering both the 24ft 14k and the 24ft 10k configuration.


Any downside to the 24ft tilt deck? Trailer weight is a bit of a concern but it's only about 500lbs difference between the 10k and 14k version and it will be towed with a f350 either way.

I have 2 different 25' EBY aluminum flat bed trailers. One is a Deck over and the other a low profile equipment trailer used for transporting my toys as well as Small excavators, track and wheeled loaders and additional equipment. I prefer using this one because it puts my side by. sides in the slip stream of my truck which keeps a lot of the debris from the road away and seems to require less fuel. I also like the lower center of gravity. Both are 16K capacity. Both have foldable upright ramps

Yeah I wouldn’t like a 4’ dove tail either.

I have a 18’ +2’ aluminum wood fixed deck and it’s a handy trailer. The pull out ramps are nice and light. Hardly ever have a problem with dragging the tail.

IMO I’ve never been a fan of full tilt trailers as I’ve never seen one that wasn’t all loosy goosy wallowed out in the front pins after a few years.

The other split tilt decks are just so darn expensive compared to other fixed deck trailers..but I sure would like to get one for my skidsteer and its tools.

I've looked at split decks and none of them have 10-12ft fixed at the front so they'd be really tough to get 2 sxs on without having to have ramps. The diamond Cs look really nice

Yeah that’s the issue with them..more than one car doesn’t usually work.

It’s a 24’ 14K full electric tilt trailer with winch plate already installed on the deck.
