With Talbert Manufacturing's new 35CC-HRG lowbed trailer, the day-to-day hauling of loads, (up to 70,000 pounds overall and within a 12-food load base,) is made simpler, safer, and more efficient. Featuring a removable hydraulic gooseneck, front and rear ramps, removable outriggers, and multiple swing radiuses, deck lengths and widths, the array of custom options allow for an ideal tailoring based on your specific needs. Additionally, this all-purpose trailer can be equipped with a beavertail and ramp so users can drive equipment over the rear of the trailer rather than detach the unit’s gooseneck, ultimately allowing for the safe transportation of various sized equipment to and from job sites, even in confined areas.
“Equipment is getting bigger, wider, taller and heavier... We’ve built a reputation on accommodating that need, but contractors also have smaller equipment they need to safely transport to and from jobsites every day. This is why we also offer dependable trailers designed specifically for that purpose.”
-Troy Geisler, Talbert VP of sales and marketing
Axels and outriggers
The 35CC-HRG is part of Talbert’s Close-Couple Lowbed Series. The trailer’s two axles are close coupled and can be designed to accept an optional pin-on axle for loads requiring three axles in a row. The overall length of the 35CC-HRG is 43 feet, 9 inches, which includes a 24-foot long deck that is 8 feet, 6 inches wide, and a 9-foot 9-inch rear bridge section. Swinging outriggers provide 12 inches of additional width on each side of the deck to accommodate oversized equipment. Contractors can also remove the outriggers to minimize weight and for easy maintenance. Like all Talbert trailers, the 35-ton CC-HRG is rated in half the deck length to safely meet concentrated load requirements as high as 70,000 pounds.
Swing radius and hydraulics
Talbert designed the 35CC-HRG with an 84-inch swing radius and a non-ground bearing hydraulic gooseneck. The gooseneck features four hydraulic cylinders that are parallel to the ground rather than two vertically positioned cylinders. This eliminates the risk of the trailer sinking into soft ground as equipment is loaded. Also, because the cylinders are horizontally placed, they are easier to access for maintenance and last longer due to their low-pressure hydraulic system.
Design
Contractors can use the 35CC-HRG to haul a variety of equipment. The trailer’s recessed cross members in the rear bridge allow for easy positioning of an excavator boom. The deck flooring is 1.5-inch Apitong, which provides exceptional strength for long-term durability under heavy loads. The unit has one of the lowest deck heights in the industry — 22 inches — and a six-inch road clearance to maximize headroom. Drivers can adjust the rear ride height of the Ridewell suspension system +3 or -3 inches for greater head clearance getting in and out of job sites or when traveling over uneven surfaces, such as railroad tracks.
Talbert manufactures the 35CC-HRG with heavy-duty T-1, 100,000-psi minimum yield steel for extreme durability and longevity. Like all of the company’s trailers, it comes standard with Valspar R-Cure 800® paint to prevent corrosion for a long-lasting finish and better return on investment.
