The Horizon HET Series 10K Super Single Gravity Tilt Trailer (available in both Bumper Pull and Gooseneck configurations) is a commercial-grade equipment transporter. Engineered specifically for heavy-machinery operators, earthmovers, and hotshot drivers, it moves past standard light-duty equipment haulers by pairing 10,000 lb. Super Single torsion axles with an effortless gravity tilt loading system.

The "HET" designation stands for Horizon Equipment Tilt, while the 10K Super Single setup combines the high weight capacity of a 21,000 to 22,400 lb. GVWR chassis with the lower drag, reduced maintenance, and footprint stability of ultra-wide commercial truck tires.

CORE FEATURES OF THE HORIZON HET 10K SUPER SINGLE TILT

Tandem 10,000 lb. Dexter Oil-Bath Torsion Axles

The running gear relies on two heavy-duty 10,000 lb. Dexter oil-bath axles equipped with independent torsion suspension.

• The Benefit: Shifting to torsion suspension eliminates leaf spring noise, shackles, and equalizers, providing a smooth ride for high-value equipment. The oil-bath hubs keep wheel bearings continuously lubricated, while electric brakes on all hubs deliver crisp, responsive stopping power.

ST235/75R17.5 18-Ply Super Single Radial Tires

Rather than utilizing dual wheels (dually) that drag heavily and catch rocks between rims, the HET "SS" package runs single, ultra-wide commercial tires.

• The Benefit: Rolling on massive 18-ply commercial radial tires rated at 6,005 lbs each, you gain extreme weight capacity without the highway resistance and fuel-mileage penalty of eight dually tires. It also completely eliminates hidden inside-tire blowouts.

Split Deck Design with 16-Foot Gravity Tilt & Cushion Cylinder

The bed is layout-configured as a split deck—typically featuring a 4' to 8' stationary front section paired with a 16' tilting rear deck.

• The Benefit: Driven by gravity and governed by a single 3" x 16" hydraulic cushion cylinder with a manual release valve, you unlatch the deck and drive your equipment straight on. As your machine passes the pivot point, the deck gently lowers back down and auto-latches. The stationary front section lets you carry attachments, palletized tools, or fuel tanks while tilting the rear bed.

Heavy-Duty 10-Inch (17 lb/ft) I-Beam Frame & Tongue

The structural skeleton is built around a continuous 10-inch heavy I-beam main frame backed by 3-inch channel crossmembers spaced on tight 16-inch centers.

• The Benefit: This commercial foundation prevents frame flexing and center-deck sag when driving heavy tracked excavators or steel-wheeled machinery over the pivot hinge.

Low 25-Inch Deck Height & Drive-Over Fenders

The frame geometry is engineered to keep your load footprint low to the ground.

• The Benefit: Sitting at an ultra-low 25-inch deck height, the tilt deck creates a gradual 15-degree to 16-degree approach angle. Paired with heavy-duty $1/4text{-inch}$ diamond plate drive-over fenders, you can drive wide-track equipment straight over the fenders without crushing them.

Mega Lockable Tongue Toolbox & Winch-Ready Plate

Horizon optimizes the tongue space for operator utility and equipment storage.

• The Benefit: A large, gas-shock-assisted "Mega Toolbox" is integrated into the tongue to store heavy chains, binders, and straps securely. A winch-ready mounting plate is built into the frame structure, making it straightforward to add a recovery winch later for loading dead equipment.

6-Stage Powder Coat Finish in Custom Colors

The entire steel frame undergoes an aggressive steel grit blast prep before receiving a durable, heat-cured powder coat armor.

• The Benefit: This seals the steel frame against rock strikes, road salt, and harsh weather. Horizon offers this finish in colors like Midnight Black, Ash Grey, Military Green, Desert Tan, and True Red.

WHY THE HET GRAVITY TILT OVER A RAMP TRAILER OR POWER TILT?

• Zero Physical Loading Labor: Flipping 80+ lb. steel equipment ramps or sliding heavy channels manually takes a heavy physical toll. The gravity tilt system lets physics do 100% of the heavy lifting.

• No Batteries or Pumps to Fail: Full power-tilt trailers rely on hydraulic pumps, valve solenoids, and deep-cycle batteries that can dead-out or short-circuit in freezing winter conditions. The HET gravity system relies on a simple fluid-cushion cylinder and mechanical latch—ensuring it works every time with zero electrical dependencies.

• The Super Single Advantage: Operating on two 10K Super Single axles gives you the high payload rating of a 20K+ trailer while eliminating four extra tires, cutting wheel bearing maintenance in half, and reducing highway towing drag.

IDEAL USERS FOR THIS TRAILER

The Horizon HET 10K Super Single Gravity Tilt Trailer is the premier choice for Excavation Contractors, Skid Steer Operators, Agricultural Fleets, and Equipment Rental Haulers. It is built specifically for professionals who need a low-profile, high-payload 21K+ equipment transport platform that delivers low-maintenance Super Single rolling efficiency alongside effortless, ramp-free equipment loading.
