2020 models
No Ramp Trailers releases its 2020 model year line up. For 11 years, No Ramp Trailers has supplied safe transportation of scissor lifts, forklifts and other dangerous-to-load equipment. No Ramp trailers eliminate injuries caused by lifting heavy ramps that can lead to pulled back muscles, smashed feet or severed fingers. They offer time savings because equipment may be loaded/unloaded with or without the tow vehicle attached. Its lower approach angle helps avoid equipment damage associated with typical tilt-bed trailers. The trailer deck turns into a ramp, resulting in a +/-3 degree approach angle. Standard trailer features are LED lighting for safety and low power requirements; adjustable Bull Dog coupler for fleet versatility; 12-inch on-center cross members for long-term durability; multiple vertical supports for main frame strength; auxiliary receiver for optional winch mounting; enlarged systems box for storage of tie-down chains and tools; amp meter/battery life indicator and manual locking device for assured towing confidence.

Low deck height gooseneck trailer
XL Specialized Trailers adds the low-profile Hydraulic Detachable Gooseneck (HDG) trailer to its lineup. The trailer offers a loaded deck height of only 15 inches. With a capacity of 110,000 pounds in 12 feet. The unit is ideal for adaptable hauling in commercial and construction applications. The 13-foot gooseneck has a swing clearance of 110 inches and the relief cut out in the gooseneck provides additional space between the truck and trailer. The hydraulic neck detaches and re-attaches quickly using a power unit or a wet kit. The neck also offers a five-position ride height. Based on neck position and load, the deck can be leveled as needed. A work light in the upper deck increases visibility when monitoring the load at night. With the 15-inch deck height and 4.5-inch ground clearance, this flat deck lowboy can accommodate loads that may otherwise require a drop-side trailer. The bucket well in the rear provides an area for an excavator bucket to ride safely and a toolbox at the front serves as a storage space. The main deck offers many tie-down points with seven pairs of bent D-rings along the outer beams, 12 chain drops per side on the outer rails, four chain drops around the toolbox and swing-out outriggers on 24-inch centers. To decrease wear on the tires, the third axle airlift can lift up when it is not needed.

Hydraulic dump trailer options
Felling Trailers, Inc. has recently added Stillwell’s Atlas hydraulic jack and six-port ball valve option to its dump trailer line. The six-port ball valve operates as a selector; with the simple turn of the valve, the operator controls the flow of the hydraulic fluid. One position operates the trailer’s dumping function; the other position directs the fluid to the hydraulic jack. The benefit is in the simplicity of the system. By using the standard two-function electric/hydraulic pump, there are fewer components, cutting overall maintenance costs. The Stillwell system is more cost-efficient to the end user vs. the previously used four-function pump.
