Talbert released the 4050TA trailer as part of its Traveling Axle Series for haulers who need a California-legal trailer with a lower deck height to clear bridges and tunnels when transporting taller equipment.

The new trailer features a 36 inch deck height and a California-legal trailer length.

“After receiving feedback we decided to give our customers just what they were asking for – the 4050TA,” said Jerry Rothwell, director of business development at Talbert. “They talked and we listened and we made the changes they wanted to see.”

Talbert increased the 4050TA’s capacity from 70,000 pounds to 80,000 pounds evenly distributed or 50,000 pounds in 10 feet and reduced the lower deck height.  The 4050TA has a 7-degree load angle and updated e-chain for air and electrical lines. The e-chain is made from metal for better durability, especially in colder climates.

Talbert has also increased the number of keyholes to allow for better flexibility when drivers tie items down. The trailer also features a piggy-back cylinder with a larger diameter than previous models and a lockable toolbox with a weather resistant door seal, upgraded hardware and chain rack.

As standard equipment, TA Series trailers include a 15,000 pound planetary winch with a wireless remote to move equipment on and off of the trailer. There is an optional 20,000 pound winch as well as a 48 inch aluminum/steel bulkhead with strobe and work lights, a centralized lubrication system and a Right Weigh load scale.

All traveling axles from Talbert come standard with double keyhole tie-down slots on the top of the outside beams. Standard models come with recessed keyhole tie-downs down the center of the trailer’s main deck with a metal basket that protects the main cylinder from excess chain when dying down loads.
