XL Specialized Trailers, Manchester, Iowa, has introduced a new two-axle trailer. The XL 80 Slider is named for its sliding axle assembly, which allows the unit to tilt for the loading and unloading of heavy and inoperable equipment, according to the company. New GAR-MAX filament wound composite rollers slide without the need for grease, the company says. The XL 80 Slider trailer is rated at 80,000 pounds overall and 50,000 pounds in 10-feet concentrated, and is customizable for specific hauling needs.
Paving equipment creates unique challenges with its large rollers and heavy weight that require a full width ramp and low angle for loading, XL Specialized Trailers says. The XL Slide Axles are ideal for this equipment with a low load angle of 6.5 degrees that assists with loading such equipment, the company explains. The XL Slider is setup for hauling inoperable equipment, which requires winches and rollers for loading. It also offers a heavy-duty 20,000-pound hydraulic winch with manual kick out and 100 feet of 9/16-inch cable. A two-function wireless remote accompanies the winch for ease of use and a recessed roller at the top of the gooseneck rolls in conjunction with the winch to pull the cable. While the trailer is ideal for paving equipment, close cross member spacing enables drivers to also transport forklifts.
“The XL 80 Slider will be a great trailer for the towing and rental markets with its customized solutions,” says Rodney Crim, vice president of sales at XL Specialized Trailers. “Machines like paving equipment can be a headache to load, but the sliding and tilt mechanisms will really simplify loading for the operator and make it a much quicker operation.”
The XL 80 Slider is a four-beam trailer comprised of 4-inch junior I-beams and 3-inch I-beams on 8-inch centers for durability, the company notes.
The energy chain protects air and electrical lines from damage, while two toolboxes in the upper deck provide storage space. The Slider comes with mid-turn lights, clearance lights and two taillights; all rubber mounted with “plug-and-play” capability for easy changing out, the company says.
Additional options provide customization, including dock levelers, a 28 horsepower Honda self-contained power unit, hydraulic park stands, a wired remote for backup or an upgraded six-, seven- or 10-function wireless remote and aluminum wheels can be added to any XL Slide Axle. Operators choose from a 48-foot long trailer with a 17-degree dump angle; a 51-foot long trailer with a 16-degree dump angle; or a 53-foot long version with a 15-degree dump angle. The XL Slider offers two axle spacing options: 50 inches and 60 inches.
For 20 years, XL Specialized Trailers has been manufacturing heavy haul and specialized trailers for the construction, commercial, agricultural, wind energy, oil and gas, and custom style trailer markets.
