Talbert Manufacturing Featured Customized 70SA-RC-RA Trailer at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023
Talbert Manufacturing, a North American leader in specialized heavy-haul solutions, has completed a customized version of its 70SA-RC-RA trailer for Atlas Crane Services Inc. of Aurora, Ill. The trailer was custom-engineered to incorporate multiple axle configurations based on customer requirements for optimum versatility. Talbert recently featured the custom-built 70SA-RC-RA during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023, March 14-18, in Las Vegas.
The trailer’s design features a flip extension to accommodate a tri-axle jeep dolly, allowing for maximum load configurations. Talbert’s E3Nitro™ self-tracking axle extension accommodates a 3+3+3 configuration to enable proper weight distribution and weight transfer. The trailer maintains a 70-ton rating at half the deck length and offers a 6-inch loaded road clearance.
The 70SA-RC-RA features a wide center bolster for axles 1 & 2 and 2 & 3 as well as a rear half bolster with a lightweight design of axle 3 to ensure even weight distribution from the truck to the rear of the trailer. The specialized trailer can run with 3, 4 or 5 axles in a row and offers a 120-inch swing radius with a gooseneck extension for up to a 222-inch swing radius. The trailer comes complete with lightweight components and flexible, lightweight fenders over axles 1, 2 and 3, which ensures Atlas Crane’s ability to conform to weight regulations without sacrificing the durability required for heavy loads.
The 70SA-RC-RA comes with Talbert’s heavy-duty T-1, 100,000-psi minimum yield steel for durability and longevity and Valspar R-Cure® 800 paint with clearcoat to prevent corrosion.
“We needed a trailer that could withstand the demands of transporting cranes to construction sites or maintenance equipment to wind energy locations, and Talbert listened by designing a trailer that is versatile and adaptable to meet the needs of our operations,” said Todd Sauer, director of operations at Atlas Crane Services.
