Fontaine Heavy-Haul released its Fontaine Magnitude 60LCC, a trailer that hauls 60-ton loads in 13-ft. with four axles.
According to the company, the 60LCC is designed for customers operating in regions where spread axle configurations are not required to maximize their trailer loaders. However, the 60LCC is also an option in the event the application requires a spread axle configuration.
Additionally, the 60LCC is also designed to accept a 23-in. flip box and a Fontaine EQ1 spreader with a fourth axle. In this configuration, the trailer can haul 55 tons in 16 ft. with a 125-in. swing radius.
Other features of the 60LCC include a 26-ft. clear deck length and a loaded deck height of 18 ft. with 6 ft. of ground clearance. According to the company, the hydraulic removable gooseneck can be can be connected and disconnected in a matter of seconds.
“If local regulations allow a more concentrated load this trailer is a great choice,” says Todd Anderson, vice president of sales and marketing at Fontaine Heavy-Haul. “It can handle 60 tons without adding a flip box or a spreader. This means our customers get a much lighter trailer setup at a much lower acquisition cost. Plus, maneuverability is greatly improved since the overall length is reduced by more than 11 ft. compared to a trailer equipped with a flip box, spreader and 4th axle.”
Fontaine Heavy-Haul offers a complete line of aluminum, steel, and composite trailers for the flatbed, drop deck, and heavy-haul markets, with manufacturing locations in Haleyville and Springville, Alabama.
