XL Specialized Trailers’ XL 80 Slider is a two-axle trailer rated at 80,000 pounds designed for towing and rental markets.

The Slider is named for its sliding-axle assembly which allows the unit to tilt for the loading and unloading of heavy and inoperable equipment. The rollers feature Gar-Max filament-wound composite to slide smoothly without the need for grease.

The XL Slide Axles have a low load angle of 6.5 degrees to assist with loading heavy equipment. The trailer also offers a heavy-duty 20,000-pound hydraulic winch with manual kick out and 100 feet of 9/16-inch cable to help with inoperable equipment.

A wireless remote accompanies the winch for ease of use and a recessed roller at the top of the gooseneck rolls in conjunction with the winch to pull the cable. Close cross-member spacing also allows drivers to transport forklifts.

The XL 80 Slider is a four-beam trailer comprised of 4-inch junior I-beams and 3-inch I beams on 8-inch centers for durability. The trailer includes many standard features for easier operation. Chain drops down the center deck and the side beams provide extra tie-down areas.

The energy chain protects air and electrical lines from damage, while two toolboxes in the upper deck provide storage space. The Slider comes with mid-turn lights, clearance lights and two taillights; all rubber mounted with “plug-and-play” capability for easier changing out.

Options include dock levelers, a Honda self-contained power unit, hydraulic park stands, a wired remote for backup or an upgraded six-, seven- or ten-function wireless remote and aluminum wheels. The trailer comes in a 48-foot long version with a 17-degree dump angle, a 51-foot version with a 16-degree dump angle or a 53-foot version with a 15-degree dump angle. There are also two axle spacing options: 50- and 60-inches.
