System offers simplicity in switching axle configurations
The 65SA, a 65-ton spread-axle trailer, is outfitted with the E2Nitronitrogen-assisted equalizing system from Talbert Manufacturing, giving haulers some versatility to switch axle configurations and comply with individual state road regulations, the company says. The trailer can also be operated in a 70-ton close-coupled configuration.
Haulers can use the 65SA with a close-coupled fourth axle for a 70-ton rating, or a spread-axle configuration for a 65-ton rating. The trailer’s empty weight is lighter compared with West Coast-style trailers, Talbert adds.
The trailer’s East Coast-style E2Nitro spreader features a bearing pivot and pivot lockout for backing the trailer. In addition, the E2Nitro operator can hydraulically set axle loads and keep them there in all terrains. It also allows for a 14-ft., 1-in. spread between the third and fourth axle, which is ideal for haulers traveling into states that require that spread.
