Tilt Trailers Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about operating or maintaining your tilt trailer? We’ve gathered answers to the most common inquiries to help you haul safely and keep your equipment in peak condition.
After each use, remove debris and dirt from the deck and pivot points. Applying a light lubricant to moving parts can prevent rust and ensure smooth tilting. Our company offers cleaning supplies and maintenance tips to keep our products in top condition.
Tilt trailers operate using a pivot point, often incorporating a hydraulic cylinder or dampening system. When the rear latch is released, the deck gradually tilts downward to create a loading ramp. Once the equipment is driven onto the deck, the weight causes the deck to slowly and safely return to the level, locked travel position.
Inspect the hydraulic system before each use. Look for signs of leaks, check fluid levels, and ensure all connections are secure. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected issues. As a trusted supplier, Big Tex Trailer World provides expert services to keep your trailer’s hydraulics functioning properly.
Before taking a long trip, conduct a thorough inspection. Check tire pressure and tread, verify that lights and brakes are operational, and ensure the tilt mechanism is functioning correctly. Big Tex Trailer World offers free multipoint inspections to help you prepare for safe travels.
