EquipmentWorld.com | January 2018 15 marketplace | continued Trailers made easier to use Felling has revamped its utility pole series of trailers to make them easier to use and maintain, and has added safety features. The FT-10-1 PT is the first in the series to be released. It has a retracted length of 24 feet and can be extended to 40 feet. The company offers a variety of payload capacities for the trailer. It can be equipped with single or tandem axles of 10,000, 12,000, 15,000 or 20,000 pounds and with dual wheels. Air brakes are also available. All of the trailers are 95 inches wide, designed to be no wider than the truck pulling them. Versatile auger attachment Pengo's new InterLok coupler for skid steer loaders elimi- nates the need for auger bit adapters when attaching bits to auger drives with various sizes of output shafts. The variable geometry auger bit coupler allows the company's Aggressor auger to be equipped with H-200, H-250 and R-256 connection sizes. To attach an auger, insert the coupler into the auger's collar, twist the coupler until it engages the auger collar, then insert and tighten bolts. Filling a mid-range gap The Vermeer ECO75 from McLaughlin is designed to fill a gap in the mid-range vacuum excavator market, for use on compact jobsites, production potholing, setting power poles or fluid management during directional drilling, the company says. The truck-mounted vacuum excavator features a 5-inch boom option designed to pull more material and reduce clogging. It is powered by a 74-horsepower Deutz Tier 4 Final engine, which is designed to reduce fuel consumption. Spoil tank capacities come in 500, 800 or 1,200 gallons. Made to move road equipment Talbert's new 55-Ton Roller Paver trailer can handle such heavy equipment as rollers, pavers, excavators and dozers. Talbert also designed the 55CC-RP trailer with dual kingpin settings, so it can be operated empty without a permit in states with 43-foot kingpin laws. Talbert achieved this by adjusting the trailer's deck length, gooseneck radiuses and rear ramps from previous roller paver models. The trailer's overall length is 53 feet, so no need for an overlength permit in certain states.
