Looking for tilt deck trailer

I am looking for a tilt deck trailer, but it must have the following


16-18' total length, with full length tilt.

14k suspension

steel deck

But I cant find any companies that offer one. Let alone the price ranges

Any help? Thanks

You didn't look to hard! H&H makes the exact trailer you want, all the bells and whistles, cost around $6000!
http://www.hhtrailer.com/05GooseneckEX.asp 14K gooseneck $8000
http://www.hhtrailer.com/05SpeedLoaderEX.asp 12K 22ft. $6000

Steel deck is too slippery and will rust and look like crap in a couple yrs. Wood deck is better! With 14k gvw you need big 235/85/16 tires and with a short deck of 16-18 ft. the loading angle will be too steep, you'll want at least 22 ft. trailer.

I have an 18ft Speedloader from H&H with two 7K axles under it.
PM me if you have any questions.
Rock solid trailers.

Yup, I went with a steel deck on my little 18' tag along and I was shocked when the empty weight jumped nearly 1000lbs. Not only is it slippery, rusts, loud as heck and drops your capacity. Might not matter to most but when your at the limmit 1000lbs does have an effect.

That is the exact trailer you are looking for. Dual 7,000#'s for your 14k suspension, 16' long, Available options show a steel deck.

I love PJ trailers. they have a sweet build quality.

The steel decking is a must. I have a 18' 14k equipment trailer now, with the wood deck and it gets almost impossible to drag scrap metal on the bed.

I need to be able to drag chunks of dozer blades(scrap metals) and cars with no tires; no axles, etc up on the trailer with ease. My winch will do it on the wood deck but it tears it up pretty quick. That H&H 22 or 24' looks very nice, and is priced quite reasonable. Plus 6 more feet of decking would really help out.

We have that exact trailer from PJ's at work , and i would shy away from it if i was looking for my own, the tilt part is too short for any kind of a long load , i have tried to load tractors on before where the front wheels where at the top of the ramp , and the rear wheels of the wagon were still on the ground.

The wiring in them is horrendous also , there are enough scotch locks on them to make almost any redneck proud....

Other than that , it tows very good, and is very solid , i just dis like the tilt operation it leaves about 4' at the front that is basically useless , because your load has to be as short as the tilt, which doesn't always work, i like a trailer with a dove tail much better.
