Trailer blazers

You can have the best equipment in the world, but that doesn’t mean a thing if there’s no way to get it to the customer. Trucks are great for certain items, but even a full-ton pickup would balk at the bigger items of construction equipment. That’s where the beauties below come in.

Determining which trailer you need depends on two factors. First is the size and weight of the equipment you’ll be hauling. The second is the payload carrying capacity of the trailer unit. This is determined by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the trailer, the trailer’s curb weight, the GVWR of the vehicle towing the trailer, and that vehicle’s curb weight.

Landoll
900 series Travelling Tail Trailer
www.landoll.com

The most popular model of Landoll equipment trailers for the rental industry is the 900 series, Travelling Tail Trailer. Only the 15-foot-long rear of the trailer tilts down to allow for loading/unloading, leaving the front section of the trailer level. There are numerous options available on the 900 series, but some of the most popular in the rental industry include an upgraded 20,000-pound hydraulic winch, wireless remote control, and air operated upper deck ramp. A centralized greasing system is now standard on all Landoll trailers.

One option of particular interest to Canadian rental operators is Landoll’s proprietary traction plate that replaces the standard wood-covered tail. Another is full hot dipped galvanizing. Landoll dips the entire trailer frame into a massive galvanizing tank to ensure every surface of the frame and crossmembers is covered with this corrosion resistant coating. Once complete, Landoll can apply paint to the sides to match the customer’s corporate colour scheme. Hot dipped galvanizing has been available for the past four years. Since its introduction, approximately 80 per cent of Landoll trailers sold in Canada have been built with this option.
