When it comes to hauling vehicles, standard equipment, or anything that requires a dependable and strong platform, the Horizon Trailer ETZ Gravity Tilt Deck stands out as a strong contender. This trailer combines the kind of strong build you need for substantial work with thoughtful design features that make your hauling experience smoother, safer, and more convenient. Whether you're towing cars, ATVs, or smaller machinery, the ETZ is built to handle it all with impressive capability. And with 13 different colors to choose from, you can even match it to your truck or personal style! 🎨 Which color would you pick? 🤔

Solid Gooseneck Build for Versatile Use

One of the first things that stands out about the ETZ is its good-looking and strong construction. The trailer features a gooseneck design, with the main frame crafted from an 8" I-beam, designed to provide significant strength and stability. This is the kind of chassis that can handle a variety of loads effectively, and it's built to last. The 13 lbs/ft weight per foot gives the trailer a good balance of strength and manageable weight, ensuring that it remains solid under load without being excessively heavy.

Furthermore, the gooseneck of the trailer features a Neckboss 10" engineered I-beam, which further enhances the trailer’s strength, especially when it comes to managing substantial loads and maintaining balance during transport. You’ll appreciate the stability it offers when you're on the road, knowing that your equipment or vehicle is riding securely in place.

Dependable Towing with Lippert Axles

The trailer is equipped with two Lippert Electric Brake Auto-Adjust Oil Bath Torsion Axles, each rated for 7,000 lbs. The GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of the trailer is a notable 15,700 lbs, which means that you can load it up with considerable weight without it being under-equipped for typical hauling tasks. The axles are torsion-type, which is often preferred over traditional leaf spring axles for offering smoother towing, better control, and less maintenance due to their enclosed design. Have you experienced the difference a torsion axle makes? 🛣️

The electric brake auto-adjustment ensures that your brakes remain responsive over time. They self-adjust, meaning you don't have to worry about manually calibrating them for optimal performance. This feature is great for convenience and for maintaining high safety standards while towing.

Tilt Deck System – Efficient Hydraulics

One of the key features of the ETZ is its hydraulic tilt system. This system is designed to simplify the process of loading and unloading equipment. The tilt deck function allows the entire trailer to tilt upwards and downwards, making it easier to load vehicles, skid steers, or other equipment that might be challenging to load onto a standard flatbed. So, imagine how much easier loading would be! 🤩

The gravity up/down tilt system is controlled by a 3” x 16” hydraulic cylinder, which cushions the load when lowering the deck with ease. The hydraulic system is complemented by a three-way valve control, giving you good control over the tilt action. Whether you’re unloading a car or standard machinery, you can be confident that the tilt system will work smoothly and reliably. No more struggling with ramps—just engage the hydraulics and let the tilt deck do the work.

Spacious Deck Dimensions

The deck of the ETZ measures a useful 83" in width, offering a generous platform for your cargo. Plus we offer the wider 102" deck with Drive-over Fenders. This ample width provides good space for larger vehicles, including wide ATVs, RZRs, and of course, your working equipment. It's also particularly helpful when you're hauling items that may require extra room to accommodate their tires or dimensions. What kind of equipment would you typically haul on a deck this wide? 🤔

In terms of deck length, Horizon Trailers offers multiple options: 20', 22', 24', and 26'. Depending on your needs, you can choose the right size to fit your cargo. Whether you’re towing a car or a piece of standard machinery, there’s a length that will perfectly suit your haul.

The deck height sits at 22", which is well-suited for providing a stable center of gravity while still keeping everything at a convenient loading height. The lower deck height helps make loading and unloading smoother, often reducing the need for additional ramps.

Durable Flooring and Practical Features

For the flooring, Horizon Trailers uses pine lumber, which is a dependable choice for durability and strength. Pine lumber offers a good balance between weight, strength, and cost, and it’s durable enough to handle a variety of loads. The lumber is also treated to withstand the elements, so even with regular use in various weather conditions, the flooring will hold up well.

Another valuable feature is the inclusion of a mega lockable toolbox, which provides secure storage for tools or any smaller equipment you may need on the road. A storage box behind the gooseneck is another practical addition, giving you extra space to store chains, straps, or other essential gear. Where would you store your tie-downs? 🧰

A handy feature is also the weld-on spare tire mount, which allows you to conveniently store a spare tire on the trailer itself, helping you stay prepared for any unexpected tire issues while traveling.

Important Safety Features

When towing any significant load, safety is always a top priority, and Horizon Trailers has paid close attention to this with the ETZ. The trailer comes equipped with 3/8” grade safety chains with clevis hooks—(two of them). These chains offer that feeling of reliability, ensuring that the trailer remains securely attached to the tow vehicle during transit. They are strong and designed for good durability.

The trailer is also equipped with a standard adjustable 2-5/16" gooseneck coupler, rated for 30,000 lbs. This makes hitching up straightforward, and it ensures a solid connection between your vehicle and the trailer, reducing the risk of any problems on the road.

A Smooth and Secure Towing Experience

The front jacks feature side wind spring-loaded drop legs rated for 12,000 lbs, ensuring that setting up and unhooking the trailer is simple and safe. The ease of use is apparent in the overall design—everything is logically placed and functions as expected.

Whether you're on smooth highways or navigating varied terrain, the ETZ is designed to provide a stable and controlled ride. The torsion axles help absorb shocks and vibrations, and the solid construction of the frame and deck ensures that your load stays in place.

Conclusion
