My brand-new trailer just broke in half, and the fenders are falling off. Actually, this is a tilt-deck trailer. It tilts down for loading and unloading so you don’t need ramps, the entire trailer becomes a ramp. This trailer has a hydraulic dampening cylinder- it controls the tilt speed so the deck opens and closes smoothly. And it’s adjustable- here I open the valve so it will close with just my weight on it. The thing I love about this style of trailer is I can load large or small equipment without having to lift and adjust heavy ramps. It can also be used as car hauler, and if you’re hauling a low sports car and need room to open the door the fenders are removable. I’ve been borrowing a trailer for years, so it’s really nice to finally have my own. It seems like the really tried to think through everything with this trailer, but there’s a few things I would change. The license plate smashes when you tilt down, and I wish it had more D-rings. I’ll probably weld some on where I need them. I paid $2,500 more for a tilt trailer versus a trailer with ramps- let me know, do you think it was worth it? @hausplans #trailer #howto #construction #diy #contractor

Gotta come to interstate baby we make the best of the best!! Ill throw in a spare tire too!!
The idea is outstanding I enjoyed every second of it.
Having the right trailer can make all the difference in the world. My next one will be a tilt deck, one I got now works great but it’s just a stepping stone to my dream trailer.
You can put the license plate on a hinge and fold it up when your tilting the deck. Rigged that up on a buddy’s trailer worked great
That is a beautiful trailer. I would spend the extra money to have it. A few small inconveniences but overall pretty darned good
Make a bracket for the license plates that locates it somewhere else 😅 perfect trailer
The spring loaded jack and the fork storage in the side. Worth every penny that's awesome
The plug holder should be sideways. The way it's sitting it'll hold water.
Definitely worth it. You might have to make a few adjustments you can always add stuff on. That looks good❤😊
Take a rubber hammer and beat your tag back flat and drill two holes into your removable fenders and bolt the tag to it. Wala no more bent tags. Nice trailer 😊
Nice man definitely worth it in my opinion that hydraulic dampening setup with the needle valve is awesome 👍
The fork pocket is a great idea!
The water company redoing lines in my neighborhood has this trailer didn’t know it did all that, pretty cool.
I’d personally get some bolts that have a wide knurled head that can be threaded by hand for the license plate. That way you can take it off by hand when loading and unloading the trailer to stop it from bending all the time. A wide knurled head would make sure you don’t need a screwdriver or power tool to take it off.
That is a very nice trailer!
Worth it ABSOLUTELY man getting older is learning to appreciate tools ❤
