Title and registration requirements for trailers vary by state, so be sure to check your state DMV website for more information. As a general rule, most states require a title and registration for your trailer. A standard auto policy already covers most liability insurance for trailers of the towing vehicle. Still, it’s best to double-check your insurance policy to ensure this is true for your specific circumstances.
You should go to your state DMV website to check regulations regarding license plates for utility or equipment vehicles. Some states do require license plates for trailers, and some may not. While license plate requirements vary, lights are required in every state for trailers of all sizes. You must have rear, turn signal, stop and hazard lights on your trailer.
First, determine if your tilt trailer is hydraulic or sliding. A hydraulic tilt trailer uses a hydraulic system to lift the trailer at an incline for easy equipment loading. A sliding tilt trailer uses a lever to release the sliding ramp on a hinge to tilt at an angle. Once it rolls to the correct position, you lock it in place and begin loading your equipment.
