What changes with the configuration
The reference retains upper-deck, tail, fold-under and loading-ramp dimensions individually. They cannot be added into a single continuously load-rated carrying length without supporting documentation.

Trail King
TK80HT
A hydraulic-tail equipment trailer with an upper-deck ramp and fold-under tail. Transport and loading geometry must be assessed separately.

How to read this model
A hydraulic-tail equipment platform for investigating a controlled rear-loading path. The upper-deck access, main tail and fold-under section perform different jobs and should be measured separately.
What controls the shortlist
A transport-frame rating does not establish how much the hydraulic tail can lift. Check the machine through approach, transition and final position, including low attachments and concentrated wheel or track reactions.
Questions for the build-sheet review
- What is the tail’s lifting rating in the proposed loading state?
- Which portion of the tail supports the machine during the cycle?
- Does the lowest attachment clear both the tail and upper-deck transition?

Overall length is not usable deck length. A published side-rail width does not establish the unobstructed support width. Values above come from documentation, not from image measurements.
Capacity with its conditions
Structural ratings do not approve axle loads, the tractor connection, route clearance or a permit.
What to verify
- Published 52 in fold-under tail; tail raises to a 58 in dock. These are not loaded deck heights.
- An 8 ft tail and its fold-under section are loading components, not an added continuous main deck.
- Confirm tail lift capacity and machine breakover before loading.

- Hydraulic tail
- Axle arrangement
- Tandem air ride
