Coil hauler
Transcraft's Coil Hauler uses a bolt-together rubber-lined cradle
system with a total payload capacity of 90,000 pounds for
transporting metal coils up to 80 inches wide while helping to
protect freight from edge damage. A natural low center of gravity is engineered to provide a smoother ride and help minimize
rollover. A canopy constructed of Wabash National's DuraPlate
composite material helps protect freight and reduce loading and
unloading times, while a removable bulkhead and optional load
bars help provide backhaul versatility.
