Talbert Manufacturing is offering the 60CC/55SA-LD trailer for optimum versatility, according to an announcement. The trailer pairs with Talbert’s optional E1Nitro axle extension, allowing for 60-ton capacity with a close-coupled configuration or a 55-ton hauling capacity with a spread axle configuration.
This Talbert design gives customers flexibility to switch between configurations to meet differing hauling regulations. While maintaining a 60-ton rating at half the deck length, the 60CC/55SA-LD offers a 6-in. ground clearance with an 18-in. loaded deck height, the company says.
The Talbert 60CC/55SA-LD is a hydraulic detachable gooseneck trailer featuring a non-ground bearing hydraulic gooseneck design, 108-in. swing radius, 26-ft. deck length and 8-ft., 6-in. deck width.
The E1Nitro axle extension, which enables the 60-ton capacity, uses a combination of hydraulic fluid and nitrogen to equalize axle pressures, providing proportionate weight distribution of each axle grouping Talbert says. This optimizes the range of suspension movement, which minimizes stress and provides a smooth ride. In addition, the E1Nitro features a bearing pivot and pivot lockout for backing the trailer. Users also can hydraulically lock in axle loads regardless of terrain. The E1Nitro comes standard with two-speed dual landing gear for optimal stability when disconnected from the trailer.
The versatility of this trailer and the functionality to switch between a close-coupled and spread-axle configuration enables operators the ability to meet the many varying state requirements. This added flexibility reduces costs by eliminating the need for additional permitting, the company says.
Like all its trailers, Talbert manufactures the 60CC/55SA-LD with heavy-duty T-1, 100,000-psi minimum yield steel for durability and longevity. Talbert trailers are standard with Valspar R-Cure 800 paint to prevent corrosion, offering a long-lasting finish and better return on investment, Talbert says.
