Big Tex 16EH

Heavy Duty I-Beam Equipment Trailer

Part of the all-new X-Series, the 16EH stacks a Mega-Sized Toolbox, full-length rub rail, D-rings, and stake pockets on a 17,500 lb GVWR, 8″ seamless I-beam platform — with optional Self-Stabilizing Mega Ramps that change how you load.

Meet the Big Tex 16EH Equipment Trailer

The 16EH is the heavy end of Big Tex’s X-Series equipment line — an 83″-wide, 8″ seamless I-beam hauler rated at 17,500 lbs GVWR and built for crews that move real machines weekly. Lengths run from 18′ to 24′, with dovetail and Mega Ramp configurations that make drive-on loading routine. At Mentor Golf Carts & Trailers we stock the 16EH for exactly one reason: when the skid steer gets bigger, the mini-ex gets tracks, and the 15.4K trailers start feeling tight, this is the deck that restores your margin — and it’s the model we have on our Ohio lot right now.

Loading, Revolutionized

Optional Self-Stabilizing Mega Ramps Do the Bracing for You

The 16EH’s signature option is Big Tex’s Self-Stabilizing Mega Ramps — wide, heavy-duty ramps that brace against the ground as your machine climbs, taking strain off the deck and the guesswork out of steep loading. Prefer a different setup? Super Wide and slide-in ramp packages tailor the rear of the trailer to what you actually drive aboard, and dovetail configurations soften the angle further.

The 17.5K Backbone

Seamless 8" I-Beam Strength With 8,000 lb Axles

Underneath, the 16EH runs a seamless 8″ I-beam frame carrying twin 8,000 lb axles — the running gear behind its 17,500 lb GVWR — with 17.5″ radial tires built for heavy, frequent hauling. Cargo capacities land north of thirteen thousand pounds depending on length and configuration, which means a serious machine plus attachments rides legal with room to spare. Every hub wears electric brakes, and a 12,000 lb drop-leg jack holds the nose.

Tie It Down Anywhere

Rub Rail, D-Rings, Stake Pockets, and a Mega Toolbox

Securement is everywhere on the 16EH: a full-length rub rail for strap flexibility, heavy D-rings where chains want to land, and stake pockets down both sides for stake sides or extra binding points. Up front, the Mega-Sized Toolbox stores your spare tire, chains, and binders behind a locking lid — so the gear that secures the load travels with the load. It’s the kind of everyday practicality that makes a trailer feel bigger than its spec sheet.

The Brand Behind the Build

Why Choose Big Tex?

Big Tex has been building professional-grade trailers since 1982 and bills itself as America’s #1 professional-grade trailer — a claim backed by heavy structural steel, a factory parts network, and warranty coverage in writing: a 1-year limited warranty on materials and workmanship plus a 3-year limited structural warranty on the frame. The 16EH carries that pedigree into the heavy end of the equipment line.
