The equipment company Galbreath, a division of Wastequip, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, has added the M6-250 series roll-off trailer to its line of lightweight trailers. The trailer is designed to handle roll-offs with heavy loads such as scrap and construction materials. Galbreath says the trailer weighs 15,650 pounds, has a shorter overall length for greater maneuverability compared with previous models and a gross vehicle weight rating of 72,500 pounds. With container size capacity up to 30 feet, Galbreath says even more materials can be transported per haul with the new trailer.The M6-250 series roll-off trailer is available in outside rail, extendable tail, inside/outside rail and deadlift configurations. It features two telescoping lift cylinders that provide greater stability when lifting heavy loads.
Galbreath says the M6-250 series trailer is designed for safety and ease of operation with features that include:
- Plug ‘n Play wiring system eliminates crossed wires, loose connections, corrosion and splices;
- an automatic front container spring-loaded locking system and rear container hold-downs help keep the container in place;
- a hoist-up alarm is a standard safety feature; when hoist is engaged, alarm will sound to alert about hoist movement;
- dual safety props add extra security when the hoist is in the up position;
- seven rollers per side help guide the container as it is loaded or unloaded on hoist. Each roller is equipped with a bearing and grease fitting for easy rolling and maintenance; and
- two cylinders are mounted on the outside of the rails to provide added stability when loading/unloading heavy containers.
“Galbreath made its mark many years ago with our popular A5 series of trailers, but there was still a need in the marketplace for a lighter-weight trailer that would handle heavy payloads with greater accessibility and maneuverability,” says John Defenbaugh, president of Wastequip’s mobile products division. “In late 2013, we introduced the M6-200 series trailer—the first in a series of heavy-duty lightweight trailers. The new M6-250 series trailer handles longer containers.”
Defenbaugh continues, “Galbreath has been manufacturing industry-leading hoists and trailers for handling roll-offs in the waste, recycling, construction and scrap industries for more than four decades. We’re always listening to our customers, and we engineer new products that exceed the needs of the end users who depend on our products day in and day out. This new M6-250 series trailer is a fantastic example of Galbreath’s commitment to our customers.”
Available options for Galbreath’s M6-250 series roll-off trailer include tarping systems, aluminum wheels, outboard-supported rollers, auto grease system, auto air inflation system, air ride suspension, tire carriers, rear wing plates and toolboxes.
Galbreath is a part of the manufacturing company Wastequip’s mobile products division. Other companies in the division include Mountain Tarp, Pioneer and Cusco. The mobile division includes eight manufacturing and installation facilities in the United States and Canada dedicated to hoists, tarping systems, container handlers and vacuum trucks.
