Aluminum-body trailer built for asphalt hauling

Aluminum-body trailer built for asphalt hauling
A Titan aluminum-body trailer custom-built for asphalt hauling will “walk off” asphalt loads directly into paver hopper at a controlled rate, so the paver can run continuously and achieve a smooth result. Since the trailer doesn’t elevate, the hot mat has no chance to segregate. Meanwhile, the unloading process automatically remixes the asphalt as it enters the hopper. Titan even includes a remote control so the flow rate can also be set from the paver. By remaining level, the trailer can operate safely around overhead wires and can work on normal side slopes without fear of tipping.

Kloepfer points out that, with the Titan THINWALL body, short-sided box and no heavy dump frame, every duty cycle can bring more payload to the work site. The trailer’s V-Plow clean-out system, another Titan innovation, reduces duty cycles by cleaning out the V-Floor as it unloads, automatically.
