Why This Trailer Leads the Industry

The Moving Axle (often referred to as a Sliding Axle) design is the preferred solution for recovery operations and loading low-clearance or damaged equipment. With its controlled tilt, smooth sliding action, and industry-leading load angles, this trailer protects your machines, speeds up every load, and reduces risk on the job.

Unmatched Performance Features

• 55 Ton distributed capacity for heavy construction equipment, machinery, and oversized loads

• Ultra-low 7°–8° loading angle to protect low-profile machines such as pavers, scissor lifts, and milling units

• 53' overall length with available 8'6”, 9’, and 10’ widths to match any operational requirement

Engineering Designed to Reduce Downtime

Doepker’s heavy-haul trailers are known for their long life cycles, low maintenance needs, and customer-first engineering. The Moving Axle Tilt Recovery Trailer maximizes uptime through smart design and premium components.

Closed Hydraulic Cylinder in Travel

The hydraulic cylinder remains fully closed while in transport, preventing road grit, dust, and contaminants from damaging the rod. This dramatically extends hydraulic life and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Low-Maintenance Sliding Suspension

A UHMW wear-pad system eliminates rollers, cuts down on debris accumulation, and keeps the sliding mechanism operating smoothly with minimal upkeep.

Premium Triple-Layer Steel Protection

Every trailer is steel shot blasted, coated in pure zinc, epoxy primed, painted, and oven cured for maximum adhesion and long-term corrosion resistance.

Ready for Heavy-Haul Tractors

Provisions for a Pin-On Extension Neck ensure ideal setup for tridem and tri-drive truck configurations, providing excellent swing clearance and compatibility.
