Fontaine Trailer has debuted a new heavy-haul trailer that handles a wide variety of hauling jobs.
The Fontaine Magnitude 55MX features a modular design that provides convenience and versatility, Fontaine says.
Made with 100,000# minimum yield steel flanges, the Magnitude 55MX has a deck length of 29 feet when retracted and extends to 50 feet. The loaded deck height is 20 inches with 6 inches ground clearance.
Another feature of the trailer is its versatile gooseneck that includes all the connections needed to add the optional flip box to create 125 inches swing clearance. The adjustable ride-height mechanically locks, and the ramped bogie features a modular connection for easily matching the right equipment to the task. It comes standard with built-in tool box and storage compartments.
"If you dedicate your trailer to a specific piece of equipment the Magnitude 55MX is great because you can match it exactly to your equipment specifications," said John Craig, president of Fontaine Trailer Company. "If you haul a variety of equipment then the modular design lets you switch easily and quickly to accommodate just about any hauling job."
Fontaine Trailer Company, a Marmon Highway Technologies/Berkshire Hathaway company, has manufacturing facilities located in Jasper, Haleyville and Springville, Ala.
