Talbert Updates 60CC/55SA-LD for Increased Load Versatility
Published: 5/5, 2020
Talbert Manufacturing recently updated the 60CC/55SA-LD trailer for increased flexibility to meet differing hauling regulations. This unique trailer showcases a new hydraulically operated system to allow operation of the third axle only or a combination of third and fourth axles. The 60CC/55SA-LD also features an industry-leading 18-in (457mm) loaded deck height — 2 in (51mm) lower than competitive models — and 6-in (152.4mm) ground clearance. It also gives operators the ability to switch between configurations, for state-of-the-art load versatility and limiting the need for additional permitting.
To highlight the trailer’s versatility, Talbert showcased a customized 3+1 configuration of the 60CC/55SA-LD trailer at Conexpo/Con-Agg,. The show model is designed to be under 53-ft (16.1m) overall length with a 28-ft (8.5m) deck length and tandem axle trailer with provisions for a third and fourth axle capable of a 2, 3, 4, and 3+1 axle configuration set up.
“When you look at the overall size of heavy-haul loads, a couple inches might not seem consequential; but to our customers, those 2 inches can make a world of difference,” says Troy Geisler, Talbert vice president of sales and marketing. “Talbert has always been at the forefront of heavy-haul innovations, providing the trailers customers need to operate safely and efficiently in industries around the world. The 60CC/55SA-LD offers these operators the flexibility they need with a single trailer.”
The base model of the 60CC/55SA-LD features a 108-inch swing radius, 26-ft (8m) deck length and 8.5-ft (2.6m) deck width. Additional customization is possible, including a 24-in (610mm) flip gooseneck extension that increases swing radius to 132 in (3,353mm) and allows greater load transfer capabilities.
Like all Talbert trailers, the 60CC/55SA-LD offers an industry-leading deck capacity rating. With a four-axle, close-coupled configuration, it provides a 55t capacity in 10 ft (3m), and 60t in half the deck length. It is also rated for 55 tons in half the deck length with a 132-in (3,353mm) swing radius and 3+1 configuration with the E1Nitro axle extension system. This innovative system uses a combination of hydraulic fluid and nitrogen to equalize axle pressures, providing proportionate weight distribution of each axle grouping to optimize the range of suspension movement and minimize stress for a smoother ride.
The 60CC/55SA-LD is manufactured with heavy-duty steel for extreme durability and longevity. Valspar R-Cure 800 paint is standard on all Talbert trailers to prevent corrosion, offering a long-lasting finish and better return on investment.
