“The intent is to provide individuals another way to get detailed information on what is available," said Larry Roland, director of marketing at Utility.
The 4000A is a flatbed trailer made of a high-strength aluminum and steel combination designed to be lightweight and strong. The 4000A comes with an air-ride suspension and has an 80,000-pound distributed-load rating.
The 4000S is an all-steel flatbed trailer designed for heavy-duty use. It has a main beam capacity of 80,000 pounds evenly distributed and has a single coil capacity of as much as 57,000 pounds.
The Tautliner is a curtainsided trailer for durability and load protection. Utility curtains are full load bearing and feature a 3x2 weave for strength. The curtains' sides and rear doors give the Tautliner the capability of three-way simultaneous access to the cargo.
