The Horizon HEH Series Heavy Equipment Trailer is a ultra-rugged, fixed-deck flatbed equipment hauler. Engineered for excavation crews, paving contractors, and severe-duty machinery transport, the HEH series trades mechanical tilt systems for an unyielding, rigid 8" I-beam chassis paired with spring-assisted Max Ramps or heavy-duty stand-up equipment ramps.

The "HEH" designation represents Horizon’s primary heavy-duty equipment platform, dropping the bed low between the fenders for a low center of gravity while scaling across 7K, 8K, and 10K axle packages to move severe-duty tracked machinery with zero hydraulic complexity.

Heavy-Duty Spring-Assisted Ramps (Max Ramps or Stand-Up Options)

The rear loading zone features overbuilt, dual-acting spring-assisted ramps that fold flat onto the dovetail or stand upright.

• The Benefit: High-tension spring linkages take up to 90% of the lifting force off the operator's back. When configured with full-width flip-over ramps, they lay flush with the wood floor on the 2-foot or 3-foot cleated dovetail, turning the tail into usable cargo bed space.

8-Inch High-Tensile Structural I-Beam Main Frame & Tongue

The core skeleton is constructed using an 8-inch wide-flange I-beam main frame and wrap-around tongue, backed by 3-inch channel crossmembers spaced on tight 16-inch centers.

• The Benefit: Provides exceptional torsional rigidity to prevent frame twisting or "belly-sag" under concentrated point loads—such as driving an 11,000 lb. steel-tracked excavator over the rear tail.

Low-Profile Chassis & Heavy-Duty Drive-Over Fenders

The main bed sits recessed inside the outer frame rails rather than elevated completely over the tires.

• The Benefit: Achieves a low deck height (~22" to 24") that drops your cargo's center of gravity for maximum highway tracking stability. Heavy-duty 1/4-inch steel diamond plate drive-over fenders allow wide-track machinery (up to 102" outer width) to roll straight over without crushing the wheel wells.

Continuous Rub Rail, Stake Pockets & Chain Spools

The outer bed perimeter is outfitted with a commercial tie-down protection matrix.

• The Benefit: A solid 3/8-inch steel rub rail backed by deep stake pockets and pipe/chain spools grants infinite anchoring options for transport chain binders, ratchet hooks, or webbing straps.

Mega Lockable Tongue Toolbox & Winch Plate

Horizon optimizes the front A-frame area for job-site tool storage and recovery prep.

• The Benefit: A gas-shock-assisted "Mega Toolbox" is integrated into the tongue to store chains, binders, and tools securely under lock and key. A factory winch-ready mounting plate is built straight into the main frame behind the tongue.

6-Stage Baked Powder Coat Finish in Custom Colors

The entire structural steel skeleton undergoes a thorough steel grit blast prep before receiving a durable, heat-cured powder coat armor.

• The Benefit: Seals the steel chassis against stone impact, gravel abrasion, road salt, and rust in finishes like Midnight Black, Ash Grey, Military Green, Desert Tan, and True Red.

• 7K Axle Package (14,000 lb. GVWR Chassis)

  • Axle Spec: Tandem 7,000 lb. Dexter American-made straight axles.

  • Hub & Bearing Type: Standard grease-packed EZ-Lube spindles for quick maintenance with a standard grease gun.

  • Suspension: Heavy-duty multi-leaf slipper spring suspension system designed to equalize loads across rough terrain.

  • Braking System: Integrated 12" x 2" electric brakes on all 4 hubs with self-adjusting shoes.

  • Payload Role: Engineered for medium-duty machinery like compact tractors, small mini-excavators, and standard skid steers.

• 8K Axle Package (16,000 lb. – 17,500 lb. GVWR Chassis)

  • Axle Spec: Tandem 8,000 lb. commercial-grade heavy-duty Dexter axles.

  • Hub & Bearing Type: Up-armored heavy-duty spindles featuring larger inner/outer bearings and thick 5/8" wheel studs (compared to standard 1/2" studs).

  • Suspension: Upgraded heavy-capacity slipper spring suspension with thick equalizer bars.

  • Braking System: Heavy 12.25" x 3.375" commercial electric brakes on all hubs for significantly larger stopping surface area.

  • Payload Role: Designed for daily commercial use, large skid steers, medium-track excavators, and rental yard fleets.

• 10K Axle Package (20,000 lb. – 22,400 lb. GVWR Chassis)

  • Axle Spec: Tandem 10,000 lb. industrial-tier Dexter axles.

  • Hub & Bearing Type: Heavy-duty Oil-Bath Hubs featuring clear sight caps—wheel bearings stay continuously submerged in fluid, completely eliminating manual grease packing.

  • Suspension: Extreme-duty slipper spring suspension (with optional heavy torsion axle upgrades available).

  • Braking System: Heavy commercial electric brakes on all hubs (with optional Electric-Over-Hydraulic drum or disc upgrades).

  • Payload Role: Heavy commercial transport for maximum-weight tracked machinery, smooth-drum asphalt rollers, and heavy excavators.

• 7K Axle Wheel & Tire Setup

  • Tires: ST235/80R16 10-Ply (Load Range E) radial trailer tires.

  • Wheels: Heavy-duty 16" 8-Lug (8-on-6.5" bolt pattern) steel mod wheels.

  • Weight Rating: ~3,080 lbs per tire capacity.

  • Towing Profile: Standard rolling profile providing great highway tracking for medium-duty loads.

• 8K Axle Wheel & Tire Setup

  • Tires: ST235/85R16 14-Ply (Load Range G) heavy-duty commercial radial tires.

  • Wheels: Heavy-duty 16" 8-Lug steel wheels reinforced for 5/8" studs.

  • Weight Rating: ~3,750 lbs to 4,080 lbs per tire capacity.

  • Towing Profile: Taller, thicker sidewall tire footprint engineered to resist severe curb impacts and scrub when turning heavy loads on asphalt.

• 10K Axle Wheel & Tire Setup

  • Tires: ST235/75R17.5 18-Ply (Load Range H) Super Single commercial radial tires.

  • Wheels: Heavy-duty 17.5" 8-Lug heavy steel wheels.

  • Weight Rating: 6,005 lbs per tire capacity.

  • Towing Profile: Ultra-wide commercial truck tire footprint that completely replaces traditional dually setups. It dramatically lowers highway rolling resistance, improves truck fuel efficiency, eliminates inner-wheel rock jamming, and removes the threat of hidden inside-tire blowouts.

• GVWR Options: 14,000 lbs (7K), 16K–17.5K (8K), or 20K–22.4K (10K).

• Estimated Net Payload: ~10,200 lbs (7K), ~12,600 lbs (8K), to ~16,000+ lbs (10K).

• Zero Mechanical/Hydraulic Maintenance: No hydraulic pumps, fluid lines, solenoids, or cushion cylinders to maintain, leak, or troubleshoot.

• Unmatched Frame Rigidity: Fixed-deck I-beam frames feature fewer pivot points and moving hinges, delivering a completely rigid spine that stands up to severe daily abuse from heavy steel tracks.

• Lower Cost of Ownership: A fixed-deck ramp trailer offers a lower upfront purchase price and lower long-term maintenance costs than hydraulic power or gravity tilt models.

The Horizon HEH Equipment Trailer is the premier choice for Excavation Contractors, Paving Crews, Heavy Equipment Operators, and Agricultural Fleets. It is built strictly for professionals who need a bulletproof, low-profile 14K to 22.4K flatbed that relies on brute-force steel strength and simple mechanical ramps for zero-downtime reliability.
