"T/A Tilt Deck Trailer"

[ning]

Anyone heard of a "T/A" trailer?

I see what looks like a nice "unused" tilt deck trailer at an online auction, and it's tempting, especially at the nobody's-bid-on-it-yet price (yes I know it's going to go for a reasonable market price).
I can't find any build information to get specs other than 9990 GVWR, axle ratings (5200 x 2, 6 lug 15x6 rims). Looks nice so far, but more info would be great.

The VIN is interesting, too. Starts with a 7H, which I can't find anywhere. 7 is apparently "built in New Zealand", but I only see references to 7A-7E on-line, so the VIN doesn't mean much to me.

The Iron Planet site shows several trailers as T/A as in "2018 PJ Trailers T/A Equipment Trailer". Are you sure that is meant to be the brand name of it? Or Tandem Axel?

That could be it! Thanks for the solution to the mystery!

It would still be nice to know more about the NZ VIN, but I can live without.

Trailers use different Vin's then vehicles so if you're using an automotive Vin code breakdown it won't work.
As far as I know there isn't any standard to most trailer Vin's other then making sure there aren't any duplicates.

got a picture or two? I also think the T/A is tandem axle, normally terminology for the bigger stuff. I highly doubt the trailer was brought here from New Zealand. That is another down under country so the wheels would have to be up here

Still just over 2 days left on the auction when I viewed it. Ride it out until the very end. Bidding now just gives others a chance to pump up the price. I usually try to snipe online auctions. If I win, great. If I don't, then I don't.
Not totally related, but I've got a PJ 14k bumper pull tilt bed. Happy so far with it.

I also have a PJ 22ft deckover tilt bed trailer for equipment and hauling round bales. Excellent piece of equipment and it was pretty reasonable when I bought it new 8 years ago.
