Types of Tile Trailers
Ideal Industries manufactures four models of tile trailers: single axle, dual axle, walking
beam, and 3 PT hitch models. Your choice of trailer should be based on the size and
weight of your towing vehicle, your expected loads, and frequency of usage.
Single and dual axle trailers use rubber torsion axles. These axles provide extra “give”
in the axle, without springs. See the Trailer Axle Manual that came with your trailer for
detailed information.
SINGLE AXLE MODEL
This model has a single axle and one set of tires for smaller tow vehicles and lighter
duty performance.
DUAL AXLE MODEL
The dual axle model has two axles and two sets of tires for larger towing vehicles and
heavier duty performance.
Both the single and dual models utilize one remote control on a 25’ cord, which can be
hooked up to the tow vehicle for convenient operation.
WALKING BEAM MODEL
This tile trailer model is built with a walking beam configuration, which allows for
increased pivot of the wheels for smoother operation on rough ground. This model
comes with a two-remote system with one remote on a 25’ cord to be hooked up to
the tow vehicle and one remote firmly attached to the battery box.
3 PT HITCH
Ideal Industries manufactures a tile trailer with a 3PT hitch hookup. This option is
suitable for working in muddy soil. Tractors with 4WD or tracks will be able to drive
through less than optimum conditions with the tile trailer suspended behind.
