The 35-ton trailer is rated at 70,000 lb. concentrated in 20 ft. and features hydraulic ramps for safe, efficient loading and unloading in confined spaces, the company says.
“Our customers require a great deal of versatility. Each day or week could consist of moving a variety of equipment,” says Troy Geisler, Talbert Manufacturing vice president of sales and marketing. “This is why we take the time to listen and design our trailers to provide the most flexibility, tailoring each unit to the specific needs of the customer with options like fixed neck, tag-a-long, hydraulic tail and traveling axle trailers.”
The 35FG-BVTL is part of Talbert’s Double Drop Series. The overall length of the 35FG-BVTL is 48 ft., which includes a 22-ft. long deck that is 8 ft., 6 in. wide, and an 8-ft. 6-in. rear bridge section.
The trailer’s fixed neck provides an economical alternative compared with removable gooseneck designs for operators that do not require a front unload option. Talbert designed the 35FG-BVTL with an 84-in. swing radius and 18-in. kingpin setting for increased maneuverability and versatility. The gooseneck features two-speed landing gear with standard sand shoes, Talbert says.
The 36-in. sloping beavertail features a 14.98-degree load angle coupled with full-width plate with traction bars outside the main beams for optimal rear loading. Hydraulic ramps also allow for increased safety during loading by removing the need to manually lower or raise the equipment.
Contractors can use the 35FG-BVTL to haul a variety of small- to mid-size construction equipment. The deck flooring is 1.5-in. Apitong, which provides exceptional strength for long-term durability under heavy loads, the company says. The unit has one of the lowest loaded deck heights in the industry — 30 in., 40-in. for the rear bridge — and a 10-in. road clearance to maximize headroom.
Talbert says it manufactures all its trailers with heavy-duty T-1, 100,000-psi minimum yield steel for extreme durability and longevity. Like all of the company’s trailers, the 35FG-BVTL comes standard with Valspar R-Cure 800 paint to prevent corrosion for a long-lasting finish and better return on investment.
