Talbert Manufacturing added a new 50-Ton Bus Hauler (50CC-BH) trailer to their array of heavy-haul and specialized trailers available. The 50CC-BH trailer comes with an in-deck winch so you can load equipment from either the front or rear of the trailer. The 50CC-BH boasts an impressive 50-ton capacity rating for hauling a wide range of oversized equipment such as buses and excavators as well as equipment with low clearance and long wheel bases, such as graders and aircraft refueler trucks.
“This trailer is ideal for our customers that haul a variety of equipment. These customers face a wide range of challenging requirements, including the need to load pieces with low approach angles, such as buses. We designed the 50CC-BH to accommodate that need, giving this customer base a safe and cost-effective way to achieve that.”
- Troy Geisler, Talbert vice president of marketing and sales
Talbert designed the 50CC-BH with extra steel in the main and side beams of the deck, gooseneck, and rear axles. This design allows the trailer to achieve its 50-ton capacity rating without significantly increasing its weight. The trailer features rollers and a snatch block that allow users to pull equipment from either end of the trailer using the 20,000-pound planetary in-deck winch. Users can operate the winch via remote control, which helps eliminate the need for additional people when loading inoperable equipment and saves the hassle and costs associated with hiring a towing company.
The 50CC-BH is equipped with three close-coupled axles and features a 22-foot 6-inch lower deck length, plus a 20-foot 5-inch rear bridge, creating a 43-foot load base, which provides ample space for hauling large equipment. The trailer has a 21-inch deck height and a 24-inch flip-up gooseneck that increases the unit’s 84-inch swing radius to 108 inches. This allows the unit to be used with both three- and four-axle trucks and keeps the trailer within the 53-foot overall length limit when running empty, saving permit costs.
Talbert offers the 50CC-BH with heavy-duty 10-foot removable aluminum ramps, which can be stored in compartments at the trailer’s gooseneck. The 50CC-BH was created with a low front and rear load angle, which is critical for loading large, low-profile equipment.
Lastly, the 50CC-BH is manufactured with heavy-duty T-1, 100,000-psi minimum yield steel, which should ensure its durability and longevity. Talbert trailers also come standard with Valspar R-Cure 800 paint to prevent corrosion for a long-lasting finish and better return on investment.
