Big Tex Trailers recently unveiled the newly redesigned 14LP Ultra Low Profile Dump Trailer. With a new frame design and feature set, the 14LP makes loading safer, easier and more convenient, according to the company.
“From landscaping and agricultural to roofing, construction and remodeling, the 14LP is an outstanding new option for a wide range of customers,” said Johnathan Bradley, VP of sales for Big Tex. “We’ve redesigned this popular model to be even more durable and feature-rich, providing added value and ultimate reliability.”
The tongue and center beam of the 14LP are one continuous piece of 8-inch, I-beam, resulting in a lower profile and more robust design. The trailer’s 28-inch deck height allows for more ergonomic loading of materials, as well as a safer angle for loading equipment. Beneath the bed, a scissor lift – rather than the more common dual-ram system – keeps the bed and frame properly aligned and enables smoother raising/lowering with less maintenance required.
The 14LP also features a heavy-duty, 10-gauge dump box with a single-piece floor and a reinforced square-tube steel top rail. Providing a sturdy foundation are two 7,000-pound, cambered Dexter Brand axles, EZ-Lube hubs, 16-inch radial tires, and Nev-R-Adjust electric brakes.
The 14LP arrives equipment ready, with standard rear stabilizers and an optional 6.5-foot rear, slide-in ramp package. For added versatility, a rear combo-gate with holdbacks can be opened as barn doors or used as a spreader gate. Inside the bed, four D-rings are included for securing cargo.
The trailer’s LED lighting package includes a sealed modular wiring harness that protects the wiring from road debris and the elements. Additional standard features include a 12,000-pound, side-wind, drop-leg tongue jack; a 12-volt deep-cycle battery with a 110-volt, 5-amp onboard charger; an integrated tarp shroud and roll tarp with side J-hooks; and a new integrated side step on the marker light box.
“More customers turn to Big Tex for industry-leading trailers that are built to last and provide exceptional value,” said Bradley. “The 14LP Dump Trailer is an exciting new option that delivers on the promise of durability, convenience and ease of use.”
