Talbert has launched its 50CC-PS hybrid “paver special” trailer, which combines the benefits of a close-couple lowbed design with roller paver accessibility and offers a longer loading incline.

This allows the 50CC-PS 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.

With a deck length of 26 feet, the new 50CC-PS 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 ¾ inches. Additionally, the trailer features a bolt-on ramp to provide a more gradual load angle at the rear, 15 degrees rather than the standard 35-degree angle. The 50-ton capacity 50CC-PS offers a deck width of 8 feet, 6 inches and a low deck height of 20 inches.

Designed for ease of operation, loading and unloading, the 50CC-PS 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-PS is four-axle capable, offering even greater versatility. It features three axles with fourth axle pin-on configuration. Axle capacity is 25,000 pounds each. To accommodate varying state laws, the trailer offers a dual kingpin setting of 108 and 90.
