Fontaine introduces new all-aluminum trailer

Fontaine Revolution all-aluminum trailerFontaine has released a new three-axle all-aluminum Revolution dropdeck trailer.

Featuring an air lift center and rear axles, Fontaine says Revolution trailers offer innovative features that are only available from Fontaine.

The company says the patented routed aluminum side rail (RASR) withstands impacts 12 times better than the previous industry-standard design; so it brushes off a forklift hit that would send another trailer to the repair shop. The patented StirLITE friction stir welded aluminum floor also is a lighter, stronger unitized design. Fontaine says it offers unequalled road stability as the trailer travels the highways to reduce friction for longer tire life and better fuel economy.

“The new Revolution tridem gives our customers hauling versatility at the touch of a button,” says Ken Webb, vice president, dealer sales. “When you lift the rear axle you get a front tandem configuration that measures 40 ft. from the kingpin to the rear axle, making the trailer California legal. When you lift the center axle you get a 10 ft. 2 in., spread axle configuration that will handle the maximum legal load capacity of the trailer with ease. Drop all three axles and you have more capacity to haul heavier permitted loads.”
