Nice! No airbags to have to worry about , No electrical ,no onboard batteries to keep up !All mechanical ! But is the angle low enough to drive or pull on low profile vehicles without hitting the air dams ? Otherwise I like the idea !
Check out this link of a Viper being loaded from a customer!! We have had plenty of high end lowered vehicles test these trailers and NOT ONE has hit yet!! Very impressive! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I7c_IjZ5PYw.html
Greetings: Since your in Illinois (I lived there for 15 years, now in Texas) I'm comparing this trailer to Imperial Trailers in Olney, Illinois. I've read that Imperial Trailers are number one. Your opinions greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ken R
We have been here selling trailers in Illinois for 25 years, and I have heard of Imperial but not sure have ever seen one. I hear the are very good trailers, but they do not build a roll back trailer. These trailers are patented, and offer a load angle lower than anything you could come close to in a common "center pivot" tilt deck trailer. The deck actually rolls off the back of the running gear which puts the front of the deck at about the trailer height but the rear sets on the ground, resulting a load angle of roughly half the slope of normal tilt trailers.. as low as 5 degrees on the 20' 7,000# models!
These trailers hold up VERY well! The frame has 11 GA. 3×2 and 3/16″ 3×3 tubular structure. Paint lasts longer than other brands as well with their Polyurethane coat and pin striping. Very sharp! These trailers are the best for low angle vehicles as well. We have had vipers, classical cars, high end cars, etc pulled up onto the trailers right in the lot just to make sure and NOT ONE has hit yet! *Keep in mind the GVWR does affect the load angle degree* R&P Carriages - Amy
@@cadilakisrodcustom I recommend emailing ken@needatrailer.com a "wish list" of the size, GVWR, color, features, and extras and he would be glad to get you a quote.
Definitely interested in the 10k version, saw your ad on marketplace and started looking up videos, and who would of thought I would have seen yours lol.
Problem with the simple "center pivot" tilt deck trailer is they can be pretty steep to load, usually no better that a standard trailer with ramps. Especially if the deck is 16 feet long. The only way to lower the deck incline is to get a longer deck, and because the axles must always be in the exact center of the deck you end up with a lot of trailer "hanging out" behind the axles, which can induce trailer sway. And the common center pivot tilt deck trailer almost always has to have a hydraulic jack on the front to hold it tilted up while you load it. With a gravity tilt, if the front tires go past the center pivot before the rear axle is up on the deck, it tilts up and hits the underside of the car! On a 16' trailer, that is only eight feet from the tail to the pivot. Many cars and most trucks have way over a 10 foot wheel base, so even a 20 foot gravity tilt trailer would not be long enough, Hence the hand jack on the front to hold the deck up while loading.
@@bobcat1 The problem is, on all "standard" tilt trailers, the pivot point is right between the tandem axles, so a 18 foot trailer would have a pivot point at 9 feet. With a deck 2 feet off the ground, than means you are going up two feet in 9 feet, or 1 foot of rise in 4.5 feet. Really not much better load angle than common 5 ft ramps, and a standard beavertail tail trailer.
