Combining the benefits of a close couple lowbed design with a roller paver model, Talbert’s 50CC/RP hybrid trailer offers a longer loading incline and increased lift capacity. This allows the hybrid trailer the ability to haul a greater range of equipment, from loaders and excavators to rollers and pavers. Additionally, the specialty design provides versatility for a larger audience of contractors including general construction, grading, excavation and pavement, according to the manufacturer. With a deck length of 26-ft. (7.9 m), the new 50CC/RP offers the space for full construction fleet loads, while also featuring a specially-designed slope to allow easy transport of rollers and pavers. The design slopes from the bottom up to create a more moderate incline over a greater distance, approximately a third of the deck length. Finish height at the front of the main beams is 8.75 in. (22 cm). Additionally, the trailer features a bolt-on ramp to provide a more gradual load angle at the rear; 15degrees rather than the standard 35degree angle. The 50-ton (45 t) capacity 50CC/RP offers a deck width of 8-ft. 6in. (2.6 m) and a low deck height of 20in. (51 cm). Designed for ease of operation, loading and unloading, the 50CC/RP Hybrid is a non-ground bearing hydraulic gooseneck trailer. Air ride suspension provides a smoother ride, while
Talbert’s +3 / -3 control system allows fast and easy height adjustment of the lower and back end. The 50CC/RP is four-axle capable, offering even greater versatility. It features three axles with fourth axle pin-on configuration. Axle capacity is 25,000lbs. (11,340 kg) each. To accommodate varying state laws, the trailer offers a dual kingpin setting of 108 and 90. Built for strength and reliability, the 50CC/RP features a four main beam design and T1, 100,000-psi minimum yield steel construction. The loading ramp is wood-filled and double-hinged to provide strength and traction needed for heavy equipment. To ensure a solid base for any load, Aptiong flooring offers proven performance and durability. Other standard features include rearloading fenders, LED lights, strobes and battery backup. Talbert’s newest trailer was designed for Hale Trailer Brake & Wheel, a Talbert dealer for more than 20 years, headquartered in Voorhees, N.J. Hale’s Concord, N.C. branch partnered with Talbert for the World of Asphalt/AGG1 tradeshow and purchased the original model displayed on the show floor. The new trailer complements Talbert’s full product line, while also enhancing the line for the roller paver market. For more information, call 800/3485232 or visit www.talbertmft.com.
