Tilt trailers are one of the best investments that a landscape company can make. Having a trailer capable of hauling all types of equipment makes tilt trailers a good investment. If you are unfamiluar with the difference between a tilt trailer and a ramp trailer, you probably don’t realize what you are missing. When referring to flat bed open trailers, ramp trailers are designed for hauling skid loaders or other wheeled machines. When you are using ramps to access your trailer, you are limited to what type of equipment that you can haul. Ramps are not designed to load parking lot sweepers, asphalt rollers or other specilized equipment. Ramps also require the operator additional work. Depending on your trailer, some ramps are not attached to the trailer. If your trailer does not have ramps attached, you most likely have to remove them from underneith the trailer and install them prior to their use. Having to install and uninstall ramps every time that you are loading your equipment can become a pain quickly.
Ramps increase lost production time as well as additional liability for making sure that they are properly secured. The answer to increased production and reduced liability is investing in tilt trailers. Tilt trailers do not have ramps. Tilt trailers have a hydraulic mechanism that allows the back floor of the trailer to go down or lift up. The entire back of the trailer is able to meet the ground instead of just ramps. This increases the surface area for loading and unloading your equipment. Tilt trailers make loading unique equipment possible. Instead of purchasing a separate trailer for each piece of equipment, now you only need one trailer.
