EquipmentWorld.com | November 2017 71 trailer supplement | by Don McLoud | DonMcloud@randallreilly.com Felling says no right of way or easement will prevent the operation of its FT-10 R Turret Reel Trailer, with its 360-degree rotating turret assembly. And maneuvering it into place won't require operators to block the road, pull off into a ditch or jackknife the trailer. Drivers just need to pull to the side, disengage the lever actuated locking pin and ro- tate the reel to the direction needed, the company says. The turret locks into position in 15-degree increments. Options include 16-inch Bronze Tensioning Brake, Hydraulic Take-Up and Payout Assembly, and Hydraulic Power Pack. The reel is powered by a Honda GX 390 gas engine with electric start and recoil backup. Moving into place made easy Handling hard-to-load equipment XL Specialized Trailers' XL 80 Power Tail features a hydrau- lic fold-under flip tail ramp for quick loading and unloading of hard-to-load equipment. The trailer is designed for transporting medium-duty construction equipment, such as man lifts, rollers, forklifts and paving equipment. It is rated at 80,000 pounds overall, and the tail has a lifting capacity of 25,000 pounds for loads centered on the main platform. Standard features include a hydraulic pop-up ramp connecting the deck to the gooseneck, an 18,000-pound hydraulic winch with a two-function wireless remote and an air kick-out for hauling inoperable equipment or static loads. It is available in two lengths: 48 feet or 53 feet. Loading and unloading in tight spaces Talbert's new 35CC-HRG lowbed trailer is designed to load and unload construction equipment in tight spaces with its beavertail and ramp. The beavertail and spring-assisted ramp, which can be raised and lowered, allow operators to drive equipment over the back of the trailer without having to detach the gooseneck. The company said it identified a market need for the incline on the back of the trailer for work in confined areas, such as urban job sites. The two ramps weigh about 75 pounds each and can be easily lowered and raised.
