8.5 x 28 Horizon FTS 22.4K Tilt Trailer – Ready To Work!
The Horizon FTS Series Gooseneck/Bumper Pull Deckover Power Tilt Trailer (22,400 lb. GVWR) is an up-armored, heavy commercial equipment transporter. Engineered for hotshot haulers, paving contractors, heavy machinery operators, and agricultural fleets, this configuration equips Horizon’s maximum-width 102-inch deckover tilt platform with high-capacity 10,000 lb. Super Single axles, maximizing legal payload and eliminating dual-wheel trailer complications.
By combining an extra-wide deckover layout, a dual-cylinder hydraulic power tilt system, and 17.5" 18-ply Super Single tires, the FTS 22.4K delivers severe-duty payload muscle alongside fast, effort-free drive-on loading.
CORE FEATURES OF THE HORIZON FTS 22.4K POWER TILT22,400 lb. Heavy Commercial GVWR Package Built on a continuous 10-inch or 12-inch wide-flange structural I-beam frame with pierced 3-inch channel crossmembers spaced on tight 16-inch centers.
-
The Benefit: Delivers an exceptional net payload capacity of up to ~15,200+ lbs. Piercing the crossmembers through the main I-beam web lowers the overall deck height compared to standard deckovers, dropping the center of gravity for improved highway stability and creating a gentler loading approach angle.
Tandem 10,000 lb. Heavy-Duty Oil-Bath Axles The running gear features two commercial-grade 10,000 lb. Dexter axles equipped with heavy-duty slipper spring suspension.
-
The Benefit: Stepping up to 10K axles provides thicker spindles, heavy 5/8" wheel studs, and massive braking surface area. The Oil-Bath Hubs feature clear sight caps—keeping wheel bearings continuously submerged in fluid to eliminate manual grease-packing maintenance.
17.5" 18-Ply Super Single Tire & Wheel Array Outfitted with heavy industrial rolling gear designed strictly for heavy commercial transport.
-
The Benefit: Rides on ST235/75R17.5 18-Ply (Load Range H) Super Single commercial radial tires rated at 6,005 lbs. capacity per tire. Super Singles completely replace traditional dually setups—dramatically lowering highway rolling resistance, improving truck fuel efficiency, eliminating inner-wheel rock jamming, and removing the threat of hidden inside-tire blowouts.
Dual-Cylinder Hydraulic Power Tilt System The full length of the deck tilts hydraulically via a heavy-duty power-up/power-down dual-cylinder system driven by a premium 12V KTI hydraulic pump.
-
The Benefit: Operated via a corded or wireless remote control. At the push of a button, the entire 102-inch wide bed lowers smoothly to the pavement, creating a continuous drive-on slope that completely eliminates heavy flip-over ramps, loading gaps, and manual ramp labor.
102-Inch Maximum Legal Width Deckover Platform The bed sits completely elevated above the tires, eliminating wheel wells and interior fender obstacles.
-
The Benefit: Grants a completely flat hauling surface from front to back. This allows you to haul extra-wide tracked excavators, dual-wheel tractors, or side-load up to a dozen standard shipping pallets directly onto the bed using a commercial forklift.
Lockable Front Hydraulic Power Box & Smart Charging Core An oversized steel toolbox mounted on the tongue or gooseneck risers houses all hydraulic and electrical components.
-
The Benefit: Safely shields the KTI hydraulic pump, deep-cycle marine battery, remote controls, and fluid reservoir from weather and theft. Includes an onboard 110V trickle charger to maintain battery life on remote job sites.
Continuous Rub Rail, Stake Pockets & Chain Spools The entire outer bed perimeter features 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 anchor points for transport chain binders, ratchet hooks, or webbing straps down the full length of the trailer.
6-Stage Baked Powder Coat Finish in Custom Colors The entire structural steel frame undergoes an aggressive 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.
-
GVWR: 22,400 lbs.
-
Estimated Net Payload: ~14,800 lbs to 15,500 lbs depending on deck length and hitch type.
-
Deck Dimensions: 102" (8.5 FT) Maximum Legal Width x 22', 24', 26', or 28' Total Bed Lengths.
-
Running Gear: Tandem 10,000 lb. Dexter Oil-Bath Axles with Commercial Electric (or optional Electric-Over-Hydraulic) Brakes.
-
Tires & Wheels: ST235/75R17.5 18-Ply (Load Range H) Super Single Tires on Heavy-Duty 8-Lug Steel Wheels (6,005 lbs. capacity per tire).
-
Deck Motion: Dual-Cylinder Hydraulic Power Tilt Platform (2" Treated Pine Wood Standard, Steel Floor Optional).
-
Hitch Options: Bumper Pull (21K Adjustable 2-5/16" / Pintle) or Gooseneck Coupler with Dual 12,000 lb. Drop-Leg Jacks.
-
Super Single Efficiency vs. Dually Setup: Dually trailers trap rocks between the dual tires, scrub aggressively during tight turns, and make checking inside tire pressure difficult. Super Singles provide identical weight capacity with a single wide footprint that rolls easier, saves tow-vehicle fuel, and simplifies tire maintenance.
-
Zero Physical Loading Labor: Eliminates wrestling 80+ lb. steel flip-over ramps or sliding heavy ramps manually. A single remote button lowers the full 102-inch wide deck to the ground for effortless drive-on loading of smooth-drum rollers, asphalt pavers, or low-clearance machinery.
-
Oil-Bath Hub Durability: Standard grease hubs require periodic repacking and wear faster under heavy loads. The 10K oil-bath hubs keep wheel bearings continuously bathed in oil, extending bearing lifespan across long-distance commercial runs.
The Horizon FTS 10K Super Single 22.4K Power Tilt Trailer is the premier choice for Commercial Hotshot Drivers, Paving Contractors, Heavy Excavation Fleets, and Equipment Rental Yards. It is built explicitly for operators who demand a 22,400 lb. GVWR, maximum-width 102" deckover platform that pairs zero-maintenance oil-bath hubs and Super Single tires with effort-free hydraulic power loading.
