Live bottom trailer delivers more payload
Trail King Industries’ new Advantage Series Live Bottom asphalt trailer delivers over 2,000 pounds more payload than previous trailers. This “next generation” of Trail King asphalt trailers offers all the benefits of live-bottom horizontal discharge with a new lightweight, modular, strong design. “With this trailer, we have greater capacity, better weight distribution and a lower centre of gravity,” says Dean Badinger, sales manager for Trail King’s live bottom trailers.
The Advantage Series Live Bottom features 60-degree sloped walls to reduce load segregation during transport, and eliminate bridging problems. A heat- and oil-resistant two-ply rubber continuous belt moves the entire load to the rear for discharge. The 36-inch belt is attached to patented steel slats, and moves by means of self-lubricating double-pitch roller chain on steel tracks. This drive system is comprised of a direct hydrostatic drive, a double-reduction planetary gearbox and a solid, one-piece drive shaft that eliminates the problems normally associated with chain drives.
Various tailgate options include an air lift door, a split rear door and a concrete tailgate. Multiple-axle configurations are available, with air-ride and air-lift suspension options. An optional 102-inch wide body provides extra capacity.
