We had a 102 50-foot trailer it broke I'm looking for something that we can haul Dooley's on preferably 102 2 car would be great problem with this nice-looking trailer is fenders are in the way any suggestions and no we don't have $25,000 through out there
BTW - The fenders are removable, and this is not specifically designed for cars, hence the Gravity Tilt "Equipment" trailer. A gravity tilt equipment generally has taller 12"-ish fenders as they have drop axles to enable a low load angle, whereas a car trailer, including tilt car trailers, will almost always have a straight axle, with a 8"-ish fender, which would allow most all car doors to open over the fender (although many times they will also be removable).
My excavator weighs 12300 sometimes I have attachments that can put me upwards of 14k pounds. I’m a little confused, can I legally tow the 14k or am I only allowed for 10k because of the trailer weight?
A 14000# gravity tilt trailer will weigh about 3300# or so empty, so roughly 10700# payload, and then you'll pick up a bit of tongue weight to the truck. For commercial duty cycle users, I don't recommend counting tongue weight to leave a safety buffer. You'd be legal on a 16K tilt (tandem 8K axles)m but would for sure be at the upper limit of it. We also occasionally have some triple axles, which would give you a buffer. Here's a link to our in stock heavy duty equipment trailers (16K+ GVW) available, tilt's will be towards the bottom: www.bestchoicetrailers.com/all-inventory/equipment-trailers/16k-weight-rating
Typically on a split deck tilt you'd put a plate up front and a roller on the front of the tilt. The trailer is equipped with a stop valve to prevent it from coming down.
Depends on the tow vehicle and if the combination is over 26000lb. www.psp.pa.gov/law-enforcement-services/Documents/CVSD/CDL%20Flowchart%205.29.14.pdf

How do you mount an electric winch?
Typically on a split deck tilt you'd put a plate up front and a roller on the front of the tilt. The trailer is equipped with a stop valve to prevent it from coming down.
Can you put a winch on it? If so, where?
Generally a power tilt - yes, not so much on a gravity. Technically you can as it has a lockout/stop valve on it though.
