I have a 22' H&H Speedloader and I absolutely love it. I use it daily basically as a rolloff tow vehicle. 14k, wood deck, removable fenders. Can't beat a power tilt IMO. There's pics around here, I'll have to dig them up.

Mine, on my old truck tho. 18 with a 2ft tail. 7k axles. Looked at some used tilts but they were all too narrow. Plus i was able to get this one new for just over the price of a used manual tilt. Also a believer in wood floors.
I've had this one not quite a year. Only regret i have is not getting it sooner!

do all you guys with these big trailers with 7k axles have class a cdl's? thats the only holdback for me getting one to haul a 10k excavator, especially because i am under 18.

I bought this galvanized one cause I needed something heavier for my loader and a backup for my aluminum maintenance trailer and haven't regretted the decision. Its a 20ft manual tilt, wood floor, 14000lbs. built heavy, it weighs 3450lbs on it's own. Haven't broken it yet.....

CDL not required as long as your combined GVWR is under 26001 lbs, DOT #'s required if you cross state lines and you exceed 100 nautical miles from your home base
But with commercial registered vehicles you are required to follow CDL guidelines. You still might be required to apply for and display DOT #'s depending upon your location
Deck size: 19"x82"
Gross Capacity: 10,400 lbs
Empty Weight: 2563 lbs (base on steel deck)
Empty Tongue Weight: 557 lbs (base on steel deck)
Frame: 5" Channel Steel with Tandem 5200lb axles
leaf spring suspension
brakes on both axles
im still thanking steel deck because it will pull nice empty (less jumping) and the trailer is more rigid with the deck welded to the frame with a 1in bead ever 3in. planing on fender that come off, 12,000LB winch, loading lights, hydraulic tongue jack, all LED lights and i plan on making 8 of these http://youtu.be/GpXCiOOoPxk
Here's what I'm currently pulling.
Brute 23+5. 24,999lb gvwr.
Pierced frame with a wood deck (lower deck height by a few inches). The wood deck is great and quieter then steel.
Dual flip ramps with a lift up center to make it 28' of flat deck.
Ratchet rail with sliding ratchets accepting 4" straps on the drivers side. (awesome feature)
No problems with it really, just wish it was longer sometimes.

What do you plan on hauling? Being a tilt, honestly 2500 tare weight and 5k axles makes it seem pretty light duty to me. Mine is 3,500lbs and 7k axles and it's almost a bit light duty for some of the bigger stuff I haul. It's perfect for cars and stuff though, skidsteer, etc. The only thing I would change when building my own would be to use 2 lift cyl's for stability. You're not always loading perfectly level and it really does make a difference. My trailer is very heavy duty, but tweaks back and forth a lot and it's losing it's original strength. It get's pretty used and abused though. I've been considering selling it to build one myself to suit my needs a little better.

I'd go with 7,000 lb axles, You'll regret it later if you don't. The bearings on the lighter axles can't take the punishment the heavier axles can. I repack the bearings on our trailers every 3 months and replace the annually. II don't need a trailer broke down the middle of BFE because of bearing problems.
PLUS what do you have steel or wood? what do you like about it? what don't you like about it? (lets settle this once and for all)
