Loading equipment onto a tilt trailer should be simple, safe, and efficient. Unfortunately, traditional “old school” tilt trailers without modern dampening systems can be unpredictable—and even dangerous. Without control, the bed can slam down suddenly under the weight of equipment, creating hazards for both the operator and the machinery.

That’s why the Baseline HTL, Heavy Duty Tilt Trailer comes standard with the Stillwell Dampening Tilt System, delivering a smoother, safer, and more controlled loading experience.

At the core of this system is a hydraulic cylinder that regulates the trailer’s tilt action. As equipment drives onto the deck, hydraulic fluid is forced through a precision reservoir, slowing the bed’s movement and creating a cushioned transition.

Instead of slamming down suddenly, the trailer gradually levels out, giving operators time to stay in control. This design makes loading heavy equipment both safer and less stressful.

Smooth Operation – Hydraulic dampening allows for a controlled, gradual transition from tilt to level.

Enhanced Safety – Prevents sudden slamming that could damage equipment or cause injury.

Operator Confidence – Easier, more predictable loading process for both seasoned and newer operators.

Durability – High-quality hydraulic components built to perform in tough conditions.

Efficiency – Load faster without needing extra assistance or spotters to stabilize the trailer.

The Baseline HTL is more than just a tilt trailer—it’s a heavy-duty equipment solution engineered with the operator’s safety and efficiency in mind. With the Stillwell Dampening Tilt System, you get the peace of mind that your trailer will perform consistently, safely, and smoothly, load after load.
