Special Hauls
equipment at full capacity ��� up to
80,000 pounds ��� while remaining
under the 120,000-pound superload
limit.
To best accommodate the height
of an excavator, Talbert can
customize the trailer with a 22-inch
deck height and a deck boom well.
This six-foot-long recessed portion
in the rear of the trailer is roughly
six inches deep and plated for the
bucket of an excavator. This lowers
the overall height of the boom to
ensure the load is a legal height.
The three-axle, 26-foot trailer
features a four-beam deck design
and auxiliary crossmembers for extra
floor support. Talbert manufactures

the trailers using 16-inch beams,
consisting of T-1 flanges and 80K
webs, to reduce empty weight and
achieve the target trailer weight and
deck height. The trailer can also be
built with Walther EMC Dura-Light
Hubs�� as a lightweight hub solution
and CentriFuse�� brake drums,
which are the lightest drums on
the market. The trailer���s aluminum
wheels also help keep the weight
low.
The 40-Ton Lightweight trailer also
features a new ratchet neck design.
This design eliminates the need for
changing adjustment blocks and
enables the operator to adjust the
ride height of a trailer from one side
