KTI 1245-18 12V Dump Trailer Pump Motor — Fits Load Trail, PJ, Maxx-D, Diamond C, Sure-Trac | Replaces 070062
...
false
Dump trailer won't lift? Pump just clicks or hums? The 12V motor is the most common failure on a dump trailer power unit — and this is the genuine KTI Hydraulics 1245-18 replacement that fits the KTI power units used by most major dump trailer brands. KTI's 4.5" OD four-field series-wound motor, sealed to IP65 against dust and water. Factory part, not an aftermarket clone.
Fits These Dump Trailer Brands
This motor is the standard 12V 2-terminal replacement on KTI power units found on:
- Load Trail — direct cross-reference for Load Trail part 070062
- PJ Trailers — dumps, tilts, and hydraulic dovetails
- Maxx-D
- Diamond C
- Sure-Trac
- Top Hat Trailers
- …and most other dump, tilt, and hydraulic-dovetail trailers running a KTI 12V power unit with the 4.5" OD motor
Verify before ordering: your unit runs the 4.5" OD motor (measure the can) — 3.0" OD units use a different motor. Call us with your pump model if unsure.

Installation Notes
- Disconnect the battery before servicing the power unit.
- Remove the two flange bolts and slide the old motor off the pump coupler.
- Check the spline coupler for wear — a chewed-up coupler will kill the new motor.
- Seat the new motor's spline in the coupler, torque the flange bolts, reconnect power (stud nuts to 3 ft-lbs — hold the lower nut), and test through a full raise/lower cycle.

Literature & Documentation
Official performance data (KTI 2024 catalog, p.47)
4.5" OD four-field series-wound DC motor — KTI’s factory performance table:
| Load | Voltage | Current | Speed | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 in-lb | 12.1 V | 128 A | 4,291 RPM | 1,015 W |
| 80 in-lb | 11.9 V | 269 A | 2,232 RPM | 2,113 W |
Shaft: 9-tooth male spline (ANSI B92.1A-1976) — mates to KTI’s 11-tooth spline pump input via coupler. Terminals: 2× 5/16"-24 studs. Sealed to IP65. Dimensions ≈ 7" L × 4.5" OD, 15.4 lb.
1.8 kW / 2.0 kW / 2.2 kW versions and thermal-switch variants are factory-order options — call us if your unit needs one.
Diagnosis before you replace the motor
From the KTI troubleshooting guide — most “dead motor” symptoms are electrical, not the motor:
- Motor not running → check voltage at the start solenoid while pressing the remote button, then check power at the motor studs.
- Clicking but no crank → usually voltage drop: verify battery charge and cable gauge (table below).
- Runs weak / stalls under load → load-test the battery first; a tired battery mimics a tired motor.
- Terminal stud nuts torque to 3 ft-lbs — hold the lower nut while torquing so the stud doesn’t spin.
Battery cable sizing (undersized cable = voltage drop, high amps, damaged components):
| Cable length | Wire gauge | Nominal OD |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 ft | 4 ga | 0.43" |
| 3–4 ft | 2 ga | 0.49" |
| 5–7 ft | 1 ga | 0.56" |
| 8–9 ft | 1/0 ga | 0.61" |
| 10–12 ft | 2/0 ga | 0.66" |
| 13–15 ft | 3/0 ga | 0.72" |
| 16–19 ft | 4/0 ga | 0.78" |
