Advance Metalworking's new
12,000-pound-capacity trailer
June 15, 2005 — A new 12,000-pound-capacity low riser trailer is available from The Advance Metalworking Co., Inc., Kewanee, Ill. The unit features a 74" x 14' 8" load-carrying platform that can be hydraulically lowered to ground height. By flipping a control switch, one person can raise and lower the trailer. The built-in ramp then allows smooth, drive-on access without any crown point, which can slow loading and unloading equipment. When lowered, the trailer allows a minimum 5° angle ideal for low ground clearance or reduced gradeability vehicles.

 

Built from high-strength, low-alloy steel instead of angle or channel iron, the unit boasts a low GVWR of 13,800 pounds and maximum payload capacity of 12,000 pounds, providing approximately a 4:1 payload to trailer weight ratio. The combination of hydraulic and rubber suspension provides smooth travel even when the trailer is empty. Six “D” ring tie-downs secure heavy equipment while the built-in tie-down rails provide added security for various other types of cargo. Diamond HSLA plate flooring, lockable storage compartment, LED lighting with seven pin connector, a load check safety system, and electric brakes on both axles complete this package.

 

The rental package includes an onboard battery with charger. Other options include electric surge brakes, aluminum wheels, spare tire and wheel with carrier, cargo winch and special paint.
