I saw this and thought she might be what I could use to haul my 411 {5800#} around. 20ft wood deck 15"tires radial 2-5/16 coupler . wood deck. Any thoughts on SSI trailers?

This is the first one I have seen or heard of this make of trailer(no dealer in this area). Have you ever looked at a PJ trailers? They make a tilt that size the only differance is this trailer your looking at when tilted up the front axle is off ground. The PJ trailer the front axle stays on the ground and the PJ is a little heavier built trailer.I have a PJ low profile deck over with 21foot deck + dovetail and three ramps. I am happy with the way it pulls when empty you don't even know its behind you. Good luck with what ever you do buy.

Looks like a nice trailer, but your only limited to small and narrow items. I think deckovers are the only way to fly.

I wanna buy one like that someday, but I'd get the options where the trailer is as wide as the fenders and the fenders you can drive over, then it wouldn't be to narrow. And both options aren't a whole lot of money, don't know about the ssi but there's a lot of different brands, when there new there all pretty good.

A buddy on mine has one for his scissor lift and mini excavator.

I dont have any comment about the SSI brand but the low bed style tilt deck trailer is just the ticket for certain uses. Advantages are low lowing angle, no ramps and anytime you keep the load low to the road handling is much improved. I just bought a 20" T6 P&J, 14,000 GVW and the first load was a 9000 LB machine tool that was 5 hours away. Once home we set it down on pipe rollers and rolled it off the trailer into the shop. Disadvantages are restrictions in width due to the fenders but I dont like the loading angles of the deck over types. Depends on what your usages are, that"s why the build both types.

Have rented one like that a couple times. Great for moving old tractors, and pull great.

You can haul a 10 x 20' shed on that trailer with 3 timbers and some 2x? cross stringers. 8)
