Up here their called ramp trucks. I drove one years ago. They are handy for moving all kinds of stuff.

The only tilt deck trailers I've seen are little utility trailers. Do they have these tilt ones with steel flooring? Thinking about sliding a 4,000 pound piece of machining equipment onto a tilt trailer makes me cringe. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Screw getting a rollback. If you want something easy to load on, buy a tilt deck trailer. You can use it for much more things than what you can use the roll back for.

Aluma makes an awesome aluminum trailer that I use for my car, and Brimar makes a nice steel tilt deck as do a bunch of other smaller companies.Obviously you would get the steel for equipment. Fair price and they make loading a breeze. But honestly, a rollback is a good option if you don't have a heavy duty truck capable of towing. |

That is completely awesome! I will pursue this with a lot of research. Some of the trailers guys are posting pictures of just won't cut it. Tonight I'm going to move a 3,000 pound lathe. I can get it loaded with a forklift but when I get home I'm going to have to take it apart on the trailer before I can unload it with either the tractor or an engine lift. If I had a rollback I could just scoot it off. I can keep renting rollbacks when necessary but guys want $2 a mile. If I find something good 300 miles away they either won't touch it or its $600. Do that once a month and its $7,200 a year. See where I'm headed? Anything would pay for itself in time, but I do see the benefit of getting a bigger truck and a trailer like quoted above. Thanks.

There are tilt and drop bed heavy equipment trailers that are perfect for moving machine tools for much cheaper than buying a rollback that I bet even your taco could pull safely ETA they are pricier than I thought but here is an example http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Anderson-HGL10612-Hydraulic-Drop-Deck-Scissor-Lift-Trailer-6-x-12-/161874138324 That is completely awesome!

I have had rental forklifts delivered to my home, and I have driven rentals to my home. $55 a day, probably a bit more now. |

For your uses I would suggest a roll off with a flat bed.
