Talbert Manufacturing is now offering their 60CC/55SA-LD trailer, built for versatility. Pairing with Talbert’s optional East Coast-style E1Nitro axle extension, this trailer features a 60-ton capacity with a close-coupled configuration and a 55-ton hauling capacity with a spread axle configuration. The innovative new design of this model also provides ultimate flexibility for switching between configurations, in order to meet hauling regulations.
“We’re the only manufacturer offering a trailer in this hauling class with an 18-inch loaded deck height. Those two inches make a huge difference in today’s hauling world.”
- Troy Geisler, Talbert vice president of sales and marketing
While maintaining a 60-ton rating at half the deck length, the 60CC/55SA-LD offers a 6-inch ground clearance with an 18-inch loaded deck height — two inches lower than competitive models.
The Talbert 60CC/55SA-LD is a hydraulic detachable gooseneck trailer featuring a non-ground bearing hydraulic gooseneck design, 108-inch swing radius, 26-foot deck length and 8-foot, 6-inch 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. 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.
“As loads get heavier and heavier and our customers expand their operating territories to cover more states, there’s greater demand for trailers that meet requirements in a variety of locations. We saw more customers having the need for 3+1 in applications where the four wasn’t allowed. We’ve eliminated that hassle and the extra expense of another trailer while giving our customers additional versatility.”
- Geisler
The versatility of this trailer and the functionality to switch between a close-coupled and spread-axle configuration gives operators the ability to meet the many varying state requirements. This added flexibility reduces costs by eliminating the need for additional permitting.
Like all its trailers, Talbert manufactures the 60CC/55SA-LD with heavy-duty T-1, 100,000-psi minimum yield steel for extreme 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.
