Talbert Multi-Purpose 55-Ton Telescopic Trailer
The multi-purpose Talbert 55-Ton Hydraulic Detach Telescopic Trailer delivers superior adaptability to a variety of loads as its telescopic deck extends from 30- to 50-feet – giving haulers what they need, when they need it – and offering the advantages of transporting large self-supporting loads such as steel tanks, large generators, and much more. Furthermore its 20-inch loaded deck height is preferred over the 22- to 24-inch loaded deck heights seen on conventional units.
Its versatile spread axle capabilities allow a 2 + 2; or a 3 + 1 configuration; and its tandem axle features connections for a third axle that can be flipped or removed. The unit is also equipped with connections for a future fourth axle. Additionally, this Talbert Telescopic Trailer is engineered with a pinned and hinged gooseneck extension that can be flipped. The ability to flip or remove the third axle, and the capability of flipping the gooseneck extension delivers key advantages during empty travel by allowing haulers to retract to an overall trailer length that is less than 53 feet.
Among standard features, the Talbert 55-Ton Telescopic Trailer is equipped with air-ride suspension; Dura-Bright aluminum outer wheels; strobe lights at the rear of each axle; and a battery back-up that powers the lighting package when the trailer is disconnected from the truck cab.
Talbert SSTA 5053 (Traveling Axle) Trailer
Ideal for the heavy-duty towing and recovery industry, the SSTA 5053 is loaded with more standard features (over conventional units) in a base model while delivering cost-effective versatility in a variety of applications. With a 50-ton capacity; a 41-foot-6-inch lower deck and 53-feet in overall length, the SSTA 5053 Traveling Axle Trailer features a 6-degree loading angle and a 14-degree dumping angle making it suitable as a general purpose trailer, or for the easy loading and off-loading of non-operating equipment – particularly pieces with lower ground clearance.
The Talbert SSTA 5053 exhibited at the show is equipped with a 20,000-lb planetary winch (15,000-lb is standard). Due to its direct drive system, the planetary winch is much preferred over the traditional worm gear design seen on many competitive units – and importantly, it offers up to twice or more the loading speed over the worm gear winch. Talbert’s planetary winch is conveniently operated via a multi-function wireless remote, allowing one operator to load and steer a piece of non-operational equipment without having to leave the trailer.
For long-term, reliable, heavy-duty performance, the Talbert SSTA 5053 is comprised of a T-1 & 80K Steel beam constructed framework; 4-inch I-beam cross members on 9-inch centers; and 1-1/2 inch apitong flooring. Among many other standard features, the SSTA 5053 includes air-ride suspension; a two-speed landing gear, hub-piloted steel disc wheels, and both side and center tie-down slots for greater loading ease and application flexibility.
