Built on an all-aluminum frame with extruded aluminum decking, the TCH delivers long-term corrosion resistance without the weight penalty of steel construction. The dampened tilt deck system incorporates a lockout valve that prevents premature descent during loading of long-wheelbase vehicles or multiple units simultaneously. Available in four tandem-axle sizes from 7x18 to 7x24, the TCH is suited for auto hauling, ATV\/UTV transport, powersports, and general cargo applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable Axle Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTandem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Sizes (Tandem Axle)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7x18, 7x20, 7x22, 7x24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG.V.W.R.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7,000# – 8,500#\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAxle Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEZ-Lube Torsion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAxle Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,500#\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrakes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Electric Brakes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTire Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eST205\/75R15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGunmetal or Black Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubframe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2″ x 6″ Tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpper Frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH.D.

The dampened tilt system with lockout valve is a purpose-built loading solution that sets it apart from basic tilt trailers that lack controlled descent, reducing the risk of load damage or operator injury during the loading process. Stainless steel 6k Swivel D-Rings combined with standard stake pockets provide versatile tie-down options that steel-deck trailers of comparable capacity often cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDampened Tilt Deck with Lockout Valve\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dampened tilt system controls the rate of deck descent, preventing sudden drops that can damage vehicles or equipment during loading.
