8.5 x 26 Diamond C DET 210 20K Tilt Trailer – Ready To Work!
Hydraulic Jack(s), Solar Panel, Torsion Axles, Winch Plate
KEY STANDARD FEATURES
17.5" Wheel & "Super Single" Tire Package
-
Tires: ST235/75R17.5 18-Ply Radial Tires. These are significantly beefier than the ST215s found on the 20k model, offering the high weight rating necessary for the 23k GVWR.
-
Wheels: 17.5" x 6.75" 8-lug heavy-duty steel wheels (typically in Onyx Black).
-
Performance: These tires are designed for high-heat, long-haul applications and have a much higher PSI capacity to prevent "sidewall squat" under 10+ ton loads.
While the axles are rated at 10k each, the trailer’s structural design and hitch allow for the 23,000 lb GVWR total.
-
Torsion Suspension: Unlike leaf springs, torsion axles provide independent wheel movement and a lower center of gravity, which is vital for a deckover that already sits high.
-
Brakes: Large 12-1/4" x 5" electric drum brakes (standard) or optional electric-over-hydraulic disc brakes for maximum stopping power.
The frame is the "secret sauce" that allows a 10k-axle trailer to safely carry a 23k GVWR.
-
Design: These are not standard I-beams; they are custom-designed by Diamond C, taller and thinner in specific sections to reduce weight while increasing strength where the load stress is highest.
-
2026 Update: The 23k model typically uses an upgraded 12" x 19 lb (or similar) beam profile to handle the increased vertical load.
The DET210 features a full-bed power tilt (or split-deck) driven by dual hydraulic cylinders.
-
Wireless Standard: For 2026, the Bluetooth Wireless Controller is a standard feature. You can stand safely to the side or stay in your equipment while operating the bed.
-
Locking Valve: Includes a hydraulic lock-out valve to ensure the bed stays in the "drive" position during transport.
Diamond C uses a massive 1/8" Diamond Plate Lid to seal the V-tongue area.
The Hub: This box protects the KTI pump, the battery, and the charging system, with extra room for heavy Grade 70 chains and binders. The lid is flush-mounted to keep the deck clear for long loads.
PERFECT FOR
Wide-Track Forestry & Landscaping
Standard equipment trailers have fenders that limit your width to about 82 inches. This trailer gives you the full 102-inch (8.5 feet) width.
Low-Clearance Paving & Rental Equipment
Ramps create a "hinge point" that can high-center equipment with low ground clearance. The DET210’s continuous tilt surface provides a smooth, shallow plane.
Mid-Size Construction Excavation
With a payload capacity typically ranging between 16,000 and 18,000 lbs (depending on deck length), this trailer is built for the "bread and butter" machines of a construction site.
Side-Loading Palletized Material
Since there are no fenders, you have unobstructed access to the entire side of the trailer.
High-Frequency "Solo" Operations
If you are a solo operator, lifting 100 lb ramps 20 times a day is a recipe for a back injury.
Why this specific 23K / 10K Axle setup?
This trailer is perfect for the user who wants to stay under the "Dually" radar. By using two 10,000 lb axles instead of dual tandems (4 wheels per axle), you get:
-
Lower Tolls: Many states charge by the "tire on the ground."
-
Easier Maintenance: You only have 4 tires and 4 sets of bearings to maintain instead of 8.
-
Better Maneuverability: It doesn't "scrub" the tires nearly as hard as a dually setup when making tight turns on residential streets.
WHY CHOOSE THE DIAMOND C DET210?
Over Ramped Deckovers: "The No-Heavy-Lifting Rule"
Traditional deckovers require you to manually lift and slide heavy steel ramps (often 80–100 lbs each).
-
Safety & Health: Loading a machine 5–10 times a day with manual ramps is a leading cause of back strain. The DET210's Power Tilt eliminates this entirely.
-
Speed: You can be offloaded and the bed locked back down in under 60 seconds, whereas ramps involve pins, heavy lifting, and positioning.
Over Gravity Tilts: "Total Control"
Gravity tilts rely on the machine's weight to pivot the bed. If the machine is too light, the bed won't tilt; if you drive too fast, it slams down.
-
Precision: The DET210’s Dual Hydraulic Cylinders give you "power up" and "power down" control. You can stop the tilt at any angle, which is critical when loading equipment that is disabled or has a sensitive center of gravity.
-
Bluetooth Operation: Standard for 2026, the remote allows you to stand 20 feet away to watch your bucket clearance while you tilt the bed—something impossible with a manual gravity latch.
Over Dual-Tandem (Dually) Trailers: "The 4-Tire Advantage"
Many people buy a dually trailer (8 tires) to get a 23k–25k GVWR. The DET210 achieves a 23,000 lb GVWR on just 4 tires (Super Singles).
-
Lower Tolls: In many states, tolls are calculated by the number of tires touching the ground. Four tires instead of eight can save thousands of dollars annually for hot-shotters.
-
Maintenance: You only have 4 tires and 4 sets of bearings to maintain, effectively cutting your "consumable" costs in half.
-
Maneuverability: Dual-tandem axles "scrub" (drag) heavily during tight turns, which tears up tires and asphalt. The single-wheel-per-side setup of the DET210 turns much sharper with less resistance.
Over Competitor I-Beams: "Engineered vs. Stock"
Most manufacturers use "stock" I-beams (standard sizes bought from a steel mill). Diamond C uses their U.S. Patent-Protected Engineered Beam.
-
Payload Capacity: Because the beam is laser-cut and tapered to be strongest where it's needed and lighter where it isn't, the trailer is often 800–1,200 lbs lighter than a competitor's trailer in the same class.
-
The Math: That is an extra ~1,000 lbs of actual equipment you can legally haul on every trip.
Long-Term Value: "The Finish and Warranty"
The "hidden" cost of trailers is rust and structural failure.
-
6-Year Warranty: For 2026, Diamond C has moved to a 6-year structural warranty, which is significantly higher than the industry standard (usually 1–3 years).
-
DM Powder Coat: Their 6-step powder coating process includes a zinc-enriched primer. This keeps the trailer looking new for years, which translates to a much higher resale value (often 70–80% of original cost even after 5 years).
