Weight and payload estimates: Published trailer weight reflects the standard base configuration. Options and manufacturing variation affect final weight and available payload. Your completed trailer is weighed at the factory; its certified final weight and payload are provided after manufacturing.

Towing check: Payload shown is trailer payload, not your tow vehicle's capacity. Verify vehicle, hitch, tongue-weight, and loaded-trailer ratings before ordering.

Where this family is not the best fit: Choose utility rails or an enclosed body when the load needs fixed perimeter containment while traveling.

On larger screens, read the plot left to right for deck length; the upper edge marks deck width. The area ladder remains fully readable on smaller screens.

Deck footprints and square-foot figures are calculated from published deck width × deck length labels. Overall trailer dimensions include the tongue, coupler, fenders, ramp, and other hardware; use each model's full specification table where published.

Make the trade-off

Why choose one over the other?

Start with the job, then choose the smallest trailer and loading system that comfortably handles it.

Utility or tilt?

Choose utility

You carry loose material or want rails and a rear gate to contain the load.

Choose tilt

You load wheeled equipment often and want the deck itself to become the loading surface.

Loading

The deck tilts — the ground is the ramp.

The deck tilts to grade for drive-on loading without separate ramps. A latch secures the deck level for travel.
