Save time with trailer deck’s bucket pocket
Transport a variety of heavy equipment including loaders, excavators and cranes with Rogers Brothers’ 55-ton-capacity dropside trailer, which features a detachable gooseneck with front folding ramps, wheel pockets and removable center boards. A bucket pocket in the deck enables operators to haul excavators without breakdown, and an auxiliary battery powered system operates all trailer lights as four-way flashers when disconnected from the tractor.

Heavy transport trailer’s redesigned gooseneck improves stability
Haul large loads safely with Kalyn Siebert’s 13-axle heavy transport trailer, which has a redesigned scraper-style gooseneck for improved stability. The trailer’s West Coast-style suspension provides load equalization at each axle, and a horizontal four-pin design at the rear of the deck allows the deck and rear section ground clearance to be adjusted.

Uni-beam design increases strength-to-weight ratio
Improve hauling efficiency with Clement’s AXP aluminum end dump trailer, which has no deadweight in the exterior post design. The AXP features Clement’s uni-beam design, which increases the trailer’s strength-to-weight ratio and eliminates the need for longitudinals while reducing tare weight. The AXP is available in lengths from 24 to 39 feet in both frameless and quarter-frame models.

Trailer’s sloped deck front enables easy loading
Easily load and unload equipment with Fontaine’s Renegade LXL Lowbed, which has a sloped deck front and traction cleats. The trailer features a mechanical, removable gooseneck with fifth wheel guide rollers. The trailer’s capacity is 35 tons evenly distributed or 30 tons in 16 feet, and the 15-inch loaded deck height has 5 inches of ground clearance. The Renegade’s air-ride suspension has automatic and manual controls.

Tilt top trailer offers variety of features
The Trail Boss line of tag-a-long trailers includes the 22 1/2-ton tilt top model, featuring a 25-foot bed length with partial tilt, 8 1/2-foot width and 5-foot tongue with expanded metal bottom. Trailer features include an adjustable 3-inch pintle ring, high tensile safety chains, a protected wiring system with circuit breakers and 2-inch hardwood decking with a cleated rear deck.

Tilt trailer has heavy duty construction
Haul skid steers and other light construction equipment with Landoll’s LT1016, a 10,000-pound capacity tilt trailer with a 16-foot deck. The LT1016 has a cushion cylinder that tilts the bed and a heavy-duty bed lockdown to secure the bed during transport. Constructed from 6-inch channel main frame and 4-inch I-beam crossmembers, the LT1016 offers standard features including electric brakes, 6,000-pound torflex axles and 14-gauge formed fenders.

Keep everything organized in service trailer
Stahl’s service trailer has the organized side compartment storage of a service body combined with the full height interior storage of a trailer. Available in 12- and 16-foot models, the service trailer has both open floor storage and adjustable side shelving. Options include rear ramp doors, interior workbenches, generator compartments and ladder racks.

Deuce combines rear and side dumping in one trailer body
Double your efficiency with Crysteel Manufacturing’s Deuce two-way side dump, which combines rear dumping and side dumping in one body. The side dumping feature enables the operator to spread material while attached to a trailer. Available in 9- and 11-foot lengths, the Deuce comes equipped with the Lo-Boy double acting hoist with an 11-ton capacity.
