dmonton, Alb e r t a - Tr a i l e r Wizards has announced the availability of a new 13-axle trailer for rent or lease. The trailer is currently available at Trailer Wizards’ Edmonton location but is available for rent or lease all over North America. The 13-axle trailer is made up of an Aspen 85 ton tridem lowbed, a hydraulic removable neck, a six-foot deck extension, a tridem common air booster, and a tridem jeep. The trailer is capable of safely hauling a capacity of 85 tons on its 29-foot deck. “At Trailer Wizards, we really stand by having any type of trailer for any type of need,” Gary Myroniuk, Vice President of Trailer Wizards’ Prairie Region explained. “Since a 10axle trailer usually only has a 65 ton capacity, we wanted to ensure we had the equipment for our cus26 October 2013
and that drivers need an easy way to stay in compliance... especially since these regulations vary from state to state, making it even more difficult for drivers to stay in compliance. The Fontaine Infinity Superior Slide is the solution. It gives drivers the ability to change axle settings quickly and easily to accommodate various state regulations, and to keep their equipment rolling no matter where they go. It’s perfect for leasing and rental operations where ‘you never know’ where the trailer might end up running,” he concluded. The entire Infinity line is constructed with fabricated steel mainbeams and steel crossbracing, aluminum floor and rear skirt, and with Fontaine’s exclusive RASR
routed aluminum side rail. The result is a very durable trailer that delivers the perfect balance of strength, weight and economy. Infinity mainbeams are the strongest in the industry, built with grade 130 flanges and welded continuously on both sides. The design and construction are so strong that Fontaine backs it in writing with the XtremeBeamT Lifetime Warranty. You can get warranty details from your local Fontaine dealer.
