Can Roller Bunks be Used as Tilting Bunks

Question:

Im interested in ordering these bunks with the DL21762 brackets. My current wooden bunks pivot in the middle, allowing them to tilt and make loading/unloading easier. Can these roller bunks be mounted in the same arrangement or do they need to be mounted solid?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The mounting brackets that you mentioned, # DL21762, can also tilt but the part that attaches to the trailer will be fixed. If by tilting you mean front to back (up and down) then roller bunks # DL21755 are not really designed to work that way.

You may be able to attach bunks # DL21741 directly to the wooden bunks that you have and keep the tilting feature the same. You may have to position the bunks a little differently since this method essentially makes the bunks taller by about 2 inches or so.
