Are the big tilt trailers like that dependable? Seems like more chances for stuff to not work or rattle or some thing. What is the benefit of a tilt vs just using ramps?
Ramps are a pain to put it bluntly. They're heavy, rattle and bang, have to adjust them constantly for different track widths, and there's the chance that they will come loose going down the road.
And if you're loading something heavy and don't have a rear jack system the trailer squats like crazy and will lift up the rear of the pickup, can get hairy if you're loading on a hill and forget to put the truck in 4x4.
A neighbor has one to haul his mini excavator. It's slick as can be, but I think you could only justify the expense and weight if you're loading equipment several times a week like he is.
