"More Trailer For Your Money"

8.5 x 24 Maxx-D T8X 17.5K Tilt Trailer – Ready To Work!

D-Rings, Hydraulic Jack(s), Winch Plate

The MAXX-D T8X is the heavy-spec, high-capacity version of the power tilt line. While the T6X is a 14,000 lb. GVWR specialist, the T8X is 17,500 LB GVWR engineered for the professional hauling mid-sized excavators, heavy-duty compact track loaders (CTLs), or multiple vehicles.

It combines the push-button convenience of a full-deck power tilt with the industrial "bones" required for a heavy workload.

CORE FEATURES OF THE MAXX-D T8XDual-Cylinder Power Tilt System

Unlike smaller tilt trailers that might use a single ram, the T8X features a heavy-duty dual-piston hydraulic system.

• The Benefit: Dual cylinders provide a more balanced lift, preventing the deck from twisting when loading heavy equipment that might be slightly off-center. It ensures a smooth, controlled transition at a steep 10°–13° dump angle, making it one of the easiest loading experiences in its class.

8" Channel Wrap Tongue & 6" x 2" x 1/4" Tube Frame

The T8X steps up to a massive 8" structural channel wrap tongue and a thick-wall 1/4" tube steel frame.

• The Benefit: Heavy equipment (like steel-tracked machines) puts immense point-pressure on a frame. The boxed-tube construction offers superior torsional rigidity, ensuring the trailer doesn't "bow" or "flex" over time, even when consistently loaded to its 17.5K limit.

12" On-Center Floor Crossmembers

The 3" channel crossmembers are spaced just 12 inches apart as a standard or highly recommended spec for this model.

• The Benefit: This is "tank-grade" spacing. It prevents the floor (whether wood or optional steel) from "washboarding" under the high PSI of heavy machinery tracks or small solid wheels.

8,000 lb. Dexter® Torsion Axles

The T8X typically comes standard with dual 8K axles, providing a base 16,000 lb. GVWR (upgradable to 17.5K or 18K).

• The Benefit: These aren't just for weight; they provide a significantly lower deck height than leaf springs. This low profile is what allows the T8X to achieve its famous shallow loading angle, perfect for low-clearance scissor lifts or pavers.

17.5" 18-Ply Commercial Tires (H-Rated)

Standard with the 8K axle package are 17.5" steel-belted radial tires.

• The Benefit: These are "Hotshot" grade tires. They are virtually blowout-proof compared to standard 16" E-rated tires and have a much higher heat tolerance for long-distance commercial hauling.

Wireless Remote & NOCO® Charging System

Every T8X is a self-contained power unit, usually featuring an AGM Group 31 battery and a wireless remote.

• The Benefit: You can operate the tilt from the safety of your truck cab or while standing back to monitor the machine's clearance. The integrated NOCO charger ensures the battery stays conditioned and ready for the next job.

THE T8X QUICK SPECS - GVWR: 17,500 lbs.

• Width: 83" (Standard) or 102" Wide-Body with Drive-Over Fenders.
• Floor: 2x8 Pressure Treated Wood (Oak or 1/8" Diamond Plate Steel optional).
• Dovetail: Knife-edge rear for a seamless ground-to-deck transition.
• Tie-Downs: Stake pockets, rubrail, and heavy-duty Bullnose D-rings.
• Storage: Large front toolbox housing the pump, battery, and remote.

WHY THE T8X OVER THE T6X? - The 17.5" Tire Factor: For commercial users, the upgrade to 17.5" tires alone is often worth the price of admission for the reduced downtime.

• Tracked Equipment Ready: The 8" frame and 12" O.C. crossmembers are specifically designed to handle the "grinding" and weight of steel tracks that would punish a lighter T6X.
• Gooseneck Capacity: While both are available as goosenecks, the T8X frame is better suited for the higher pin-weight and stress of a 17.5K+ gooseneck setup.

IDEAL USERS FOR THIS TRAILERThe MAXX-D T8X is the premier choice for Excavation Contractors, Heavy Equipment Rental Yards, and Long-Distance Machinery Haulers. It is designed for the user who needs maximum power and a low-profile loading angle without moving up to a massive deckover trailer.
