JLG's Triple-L trailers feature exclusive power deck system for better safety and efficiency
Triple-L trailers from JLG offer improved safety. The trailers keep all loading and unloading at ground level, eliminating the chance of dropping cargo off of the ramps. There is no climbing to access machine tie-downs and no heavy, hinged ramps that can come loose or drop.
Unlike ramp and tilt-bed systems, the Triple-L trailer features the exclusive power deck system, a unique hydraulic mechanism used to lower the entire deck of the trailer to the ground level.
The trailers' power deck offers its own set of advantages, including no driving or lifting up or down inclines, no cumbersome ramp adjustments, efficient on-person operation, the ability to be loaded or unloaded while detached from the tow vehicle, the ability to accommodate multiple items, and there are no winches required. For information, call 877-JLG-LIFT.
