Talbert offers modular 65-ton trailer

2020-01-31

Talbert Manufacturing, a North American leader in specialised heavy-haul solutions, offers the 65SA modular trailer. This innovative trailer takes advantage of Talbert?s custom-engineering experience to incorporate multiple axle configurations based on customer requirements for optimum versatility. The trailer?s unique design features a flip extension to accommodate a tandem- or tri-axle jeep dolly, allowing for maximum load configurations. It can also pair with Talbert?s revolutionary E2 or E3Nitro axle extension, which dampens axle movement and controls load transfer. The modular trailer maintains a 65-tonne rating at half the deck length with a 16-inch loaded side deck height and 6-inch loaded road clearance.

Talbert Manufacturing will feature a 3+3+2 configuration, raised-center version of the 65SA modular trailer, along with other custom-engineered innovations, at booth F5504 during CONEXPO-CON/AGG, March 10-14, 2020, in Las Vegas.

?Every day, loads are getting bigger, wider and heavier,? said Troy Geisler, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Talbert Manufacturing. ?On top of that, government agencies are pushing for stricter controls to protect aging infrastructure. To help our customers stay ahead of the curve ? to run safely and efficiently, no matter their area of operation ? Talbert has always offered first-class engineering and industry-leading versatility. The 65SA modular trailer is designed to help operators adjust axle configurations to fit the specific requirements of the load and the road.?

The 65-ton modular trailer is individually engineered for customised axle configurations including 2+3+2, 3+3+2 or other variations. For example, adding a tri-axle jeep allows a 3+3+3 configuration. Featuring 60.5-inch axle spacing, as well as an airlift on axle 3 and a chain lift on axles 1, 2, 4 and 5, the trailer is capable of running with 3, 4, or 5 axles in a row without a booster. The base model offers a 120-inch swing radius with connections for up to 70-inch gooseneck extension and can be custom-designed to provide a larger swing radius if necessary.
