Felling Trailers, Inc. will be exhibiting at The ARA Show 2026 in Orlando, Florida, March 2-4, 2026. The company will showcase its FT-10 DDPT Drop Deck Pan Tilt Bed Utility Trailer. This versatile equipment hauler represents Felling’s commitment to engineering innovative solutions that make equipment transportation safer, easier, and more efficient for rental professionals.
Engineered for low-clearance equipment
The FT-10 DDPT is specifically designed to address the challenges of loading and transporting low-clearance machines. Whether you’re moving equipment from the warehouse to the worksite or to the home site, this trailer’s gravity-based tilt mechanism provides a practical solution that streamlines your operations. The trailer is ideal for transporting mowers, scissor lifts, rollers, forklifts, landscape materials, and other equipment that requires a low loading angle.
Key features and specifications
The FT-10 DDPT combines strong construction with user-friendly features. With a 79-inch width (inside wheelwells) and 12-foot length (21-feet overall), this trailer offers ample space for a wide variety of equipment while maintaining a manageable footprint. The 4-foot dovetail paired with the 18-inch approach plate provides a gradual, smooth transition for low clearance equipment during loading and unloading.
The DDPT’s gravity-tilt system uses a centre pivot point to tilt the bed toward the ground. The pan tilt’s locking mechanism was designed to enhance the operator’s ease of use through its safety-minded, straightforward operation. With approximate load angles ranging from 7 to 13 degrees and an 18-inch approach plate, equipment operators will find loading a no hassle process.
The trailer features fabricated steel pan sides measuring 10 inches high, providing secure cargo containment while maintaining the low load height design that is essential for transporting low-clearance equipment. This unit features an optional three-eighth-inch steel floor plate deck that ensures durability and longevity, with six five-eights-inch straight D-rings and two corner tie-downs for securing your valuable equipment during transport. The FT-10 DDPT is also optioned with a 45-inch w x 14-inch l x 8-inch lockable, bolt-on 2.5 Cu. Ft. toolbox, providing for safe storage of chains and tie-down straps.
Built for durability and safety
Quality construction is evident throughout the FT-10 DDPT. The trailer rides on two 6,000-pound axles with spring suspension, providing a smooth, stable ride for your equipment. Electric brakes (forward self-adjusting) on both axles deliver confident stopping power, ensuring safe transport of cargo. The trailer comes equipped with ST225/75R 15 D tires optioned with custom black mod wheels, designed to handle the demands of the rental environment.
With a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 9,980 pounds and a payload capacity of 7,380 pounds, the FT-10 DDPT can handle substantial equipment loads. The adjustable 2-5/16-inch ball coupler accommodates various hitch heights. Safety and visibility are prioritized through LED lighting throughout the trailer, complete with a sealed wiring harness for reliability and a standard 7-pole RV plug for easy electrical connection.
