The XL 80 Power Tail trailer is designed to transport medium-duty construction equipment, and uses a hydraulic fold-under flip tail ramp for quick loading and unloading. With a load angle of 10 degrees, the hydraulic tail can handle man lifts, rollers, forklifts and paving equipment. The trailer is rated at 80,000 pounds overall and 50,000 pounds within 10 feet.  The tail has a lifting capacity of 25,000 pounds for loads centered on the main platform, and has two sections: and 8-foot 8-inch platform ramp and a 60-inch flip tail. Lug-style hinges prevent debris from accumulating. A hydraulic pop-up ramp connects the deck to the gooseneck, and there’s a foot hole and grab handle on each side of the gooseneck for climbing onto the deck.

Wacker Neuson, booth G-3435

Each of the four skid steer and two CTL models have a universal skid steer attachment plate and a 33-gallon fuel tank.  In the cab, there’s no lap bar, and operators can choose between mechanical hand-foot and selectable electric-hydraulic control options.

Booth activities: Celebrating its 60th year in the United States, Wacker Neuson will have a live show showcasing the company’s newest products, including skid steers and compact track loaders. Visitors can test their skills on the excavator challenge.
