M.H. Eby introduced the new KN14K kneeling equipment trailer engineered for contractors, rental fleets, and equipment haulers who need a smarter solution for loading and hauling low-profile machinery. It features a 10,700-pound payload capacity and an ultra-low 6-degree loading angle.
The KN14K makes transporting equipment like forklifts and scissor lifts safe, simple, and efficient, M.H. Eby said in a press release.
The KN14K trailer features an innovative kneeling axle system that eliminates the need for long ramps or complex loading procedures. It is also built with Eby’s signature aluminum construction, ensuring lasting durability, enhanced safety, and lightweight performance where it matters most.
“The KN14K was designed with real-world challenges in mind,” said Erin Varley, vice president of dealer sales and development at Eby. “It gives operators a simple, efficient way to load and transport heavy, low-clearance equipment directly to the job site. It’s a versatile and user-friendly trailer built to make loading and unloading quick, easy, and safe.”

The KN14K features an ultra-low 6-degree loading angle, making it easier to load and unload equipment such as forklifts and scissor lifts.
