Pressure-Treated Wood Deck

The pressure-treated wood deck provides a durable loading surface with useful traction for tires and equipment. Wood decking can also be easier to repair or replace than a full steel deck if sections become worn after years of commercial use.

Removable Fenders for Flexible Loading

The removable fenders improve loading flexibility when transporting vehicles or equipment with limited door clearance. Removing a fender can provide additional room around the side of a vehicle and make entering or exiting easier after loading.

16-Foot Flat Deck and 2-Foot Beavertail

The 2-foot beavertail reduces the approach angle between the ramps and main deck. This helps make loading lower-clearance vehicles, mowers and compact equipment easier while maintaining an 18-foot overall loading surface.

Slide-In Loading Ramps

Heavy-duty slide-in ramps provide a convenient loading system and can be stored securely beneath or alongside the trailer when not in use. Always position the ramps correctly and verify that the equipment being loaded is within the trailer and ramp ratings.

7,000 lb GVWR and Tandem-Axle Stability

With a 7,000 lb GVWR and approximately 5,500 lbs of stated load capacity, the CH18W can accommodate many common equipment-hauling applications. Its tandem-axle configuration also improves load distribution and towing stability compared with many single-axle trailers.

Actual allowable cargo weight must be calculated using the trailer’s certified empty weight, GVWR and manufacturer documentation. Never exceed the trailer, hitch or tow vehicle ratings.

Electric Brakes and Secure Transport

Electric brakes on one axle provide additional stopping assistance when connected to a compatible tow vehicle and properly adjusted brake controller. Stake pockets give owners multiple locations for approved cargo-securement equipment, while the rear stop bar helps define the usable rear deck area.
