Big Tex 7 x 16 Wood Deck Car Trailer – Beavertail

The Big Tex 7 x 16 Wood Deck Car Trailer – Beavertail is a rugged, multi-purpose hauler designed for smooth vehicle transport and equipment loading. It features a 7-foot wide by 16-foot long pressure-treated wood deck, with a beavertail rear slope that eases the loading angle for low-clearance vehicles. The trailer is built on a fully welded steel frame, finished in durable black powder coating to resist rust and wear. It rides on dual 3,500 lb axles with leaf spring suspension, EZ-lube hubs, and electric brakes for controlled stopping. The slide-in steel ramps store securely under the deck and deploy quickly for loading. A 2 5/16-inch coupler, top-wind jack, and breakaway safety system ensure safe towing. Additional features include white mod wheels with radial tires, diamond plate fenders with step pads, and stake pockets and D-rings for flexible tie-down options. This trailer is ideal for auto dealers, roadside recovery teams, and contractors needing a compact, reliable transport solution.

To maintain peak performance and extend the trailer’s lifespan, a consistent care routine is essential. Begin by inspecting the wood deck monthly for signs of rot, warping, or loose boards—especially after hauling heavy loads or exposure to rain. Apply wood sealant annually to preserve the deck’s integrity. Grease the wheel bearings every 5,000 km or after long trips to prevent overheating. Before each haul, check tire pressure, tread depth, and brake responsiveness, and ensure the breakaway cable and safety chains are properly secured. Lubricate the ramp slides, locking pins, coupler latch, and jack stand monthly to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. After hauling in dusty or muddy conditions, wash the undercarriage, fenders, and ramp channels thoroughly to remove debris and prevent corrosion. Touch up any chipped paint promptly to maintain rust resistance. For long-term storage, park the trailer on level ground, elevate the tongue to prevent water pooling, and cover it with a UV-resistant tarp to protect against sun damage and moisture buildup.
