Sure-Trac ST-TSA7812-078 – 6.5′ × 12′ Single Axle Tilt Equipment Trailer

The Sure-Trac ST-TSA7812-078 tilt trailer makes loading compatible equipment easier by letting the deck tilt rather than relying on separate loading ramps. Built with a 7,800-lb GVWR, a heavy-duty torsion axle, and a treated-pine deck, this single-axle equipment hauler is designed for moving compact machinery, small tractors, mowers, and other equipment.

Its 11-degree tilt deck, hydraulic dampener, and heavy-duty diamond-plate knife-edge tail help simplify loading while keeping the trailer ready for everyday work. For operators who would rather spend less time handling ramps and more time getting the job done, this Sure-Trac offers a practical equipment-hauling setup.

Features & Benefits

Tilt Deck for Easier Equipment Loading

The tilt design lets the bed angle down to create a loading approach for compatible equipment. That means you can avoid carrying, positioning, and storing separate ramps for many loading jobs.

7,800-lb GVWR and 5,900-lb Payload

With a manufacturer-listed 5,900-lb payload, this trailer offers substantial capacity in a single-axle configuration. The actual cargo weight must include any equipment being loaded and must stay within the trailer’s GVWR and every applicable component rating.

7,000-lb Torsion Axle with Electric Brakes

The torsion axle and electric brakes are designed to support the trailer’s rated hauling capacity and provide braking assistance when connected to a compatible tow vehicle and brake controller. Easy-Lube hubs simplify routine hub maintenance.

2″ × 6″ Pressure-Treated Pine Deck

The treated-pine deck provides a practical working surface for machinery and equipment. Inspect the boards regularly for damage, loose fasteners, and wear, particularly where tires and equipment repeatedly contact the deck.

Hydraulic Dampener

The hydraulic dampener helps control the movement of the tilting deck. It is designed to make tilt operation more controlled, but operators should still follow the manufacturer’s instructions and keep clear of pinch points and moving parts.

Heavy-Duty Diamond-Plate Knife-Edge Tail

The reinforced diamond-plate tail is designed to support the transition between the ground and the tilted deck. Its knife-edge design helps create a loading approach for compatible equipment.

Four D-Rings, Stake Pockets, and Rub Rail

Four 1/2-inch D-rings provide dedicated tie-down points, while the stake pockets and rub rail give you additional cargo-control options. Use properly rated straps or chains and secure the load to prevent shifting during travel.

Adjustable Coupler and Setback Drop-Leg Jack

The adjustable 2-5/16-inch coupler accommodates a range of hitch heights, while the 7,000-lb setback drop-leg jack supports convenient hitching and unhitching. Always confirm that the coupler setting is compatible with the tow vehicle and that the trailer sits level when hitched.

LED Lighting and Sealed Wiring

LED lighting helps make the trailer visible to other road users. The EverLink wiring harness and sealed brake connections are designed to support dependable electrical operation in everyday hauling conditions.

A-Frame Toolbox

The included toolbox provides a dedicated place for suitable hauling accessories and tie-down equipment. Keeping straps and chains organized helps make loading and unloading more efficient.

Safety & Cargo Securement

Before loading, verify the equipment’s weight and dimensions, the trailer’s rated capacity, and the tow vehicle’s towing and hitch limits. Distribute the load appropriately and secure it using properly rated tie-downs. Follow Sure-Trac’s instructions for operating the tilt deck, keep clear of moving components, and check the coupler, safety chains, tires, lights, brakes, and breakaway system before each trip.
