Utility flatbed is lighter yet stronger
Jan 1, 2008 12:00 PM
Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co has introduced the 4000A flatbed trailer. Featuring an aluminum/steel composite design, the new Utility 4000A is both stronger and more durable than the 2000A flatbed while reducing tare weight by more than 400 pounds.
Using the proven 2000A one-piece plasma-cut main beam webs and 80,000-lb frame rating, the 4000A includes the increased strength of a newly designed 80,000-psi high tensile steel, hat-shaped main beam top flange. What's more, the 4000A offers the dependability of a Hendrickson narrow hanger AANT 23k spread air-ride suspension. The main beams are contoured at the rear for uniform axle loading. Finally, the 4000A is designed and tested on Utility's own real-world test track to ensure reliability.
