Your Guide to Buying a Tilt Trailer

If you frequently carry heavy payloads of loose materials from one place to another, then you should consider investing in a tilt trailer. One of the biggest advantages of a tilt trailer is that its whole rear section can serve as a ramp, as opposed to other rigs that have separate ramps for loading and unloading.

Mountain West Trailers is proud to be your premier tilt trailer dealer, and we don’t want you to pick just any model. That’s why we have provided some suggestions on what you should take into consideration. When you’re ready to check out our selection of tilt trailers, stop by our dealership in Heber City, UT.

Size

First and foremost, make sure your tilt trailer can handle the size of your project. For instance, if you work for a materials company, you’ll probably want a unit that’s a little bigger to handle all the work you’ll be doing. However, if you work somewhere a little less labor-intensive but that still requires the occasional trailer use, like a privately owned farm, you won’t need a larger payload.

Towing Capacity

Keep in mind that the weight and size of your tilt trailer will depend on the towing capacity of your tow vehicle. If you purchase a bigger size than your vehicle can tow, you’ll end up damaging the trailer and the vehicle. Tilt trailers come in different sizes, but the most popular one is around 15 feet because it has a good enough weight capacity and is also easy to tow.
