Heavy haul specialists in the United States of America tasked with helping customers that need long haul transport services for wind towers used in the wind energy industry have a new tool to help them get the job done in a safe, reliable and efficient manner. Talbert Manufacturing’s new 13-axle 75-Ton Double Schnabel Trailer has been designed specifically to provide safety and stability during the transport of wind energy and heavy haul construction equipment. The trailer can actually be converted for use in heavy haul construction transport using optional components, while being normally used for two specific hauling operations; either the transport of an 80-meter wind tower base or wind tower mid-section.
The main upper-front and rear goosenecks with the 75-Ton Double Schnabel Trailer are in a standard HRG configuration and style and pinned in place on a column-style hydraulic Schnabel tower. In addition, the lower rear of the tower is equipped with two remobable banana-style flange adapter plates for two tower sections and all units have mechanical and remote rear steer ability included. Talbert Manufacturing believes that when compared to conventional trailers the Double Schnabel Trailer provides enhanced safety and stability during transport due to a wider interface area for the load at the top than conventional units. That the upper Talbert power tower of this new unit is able to minimize rolling of the tower section during transport due to its removable and adjustable upper guide tubes and the fact that the operator doesn’t have to climb on the unit to engage lock pins is an added feature that transport professionals will enjoy.
The news that Talbert Manufacturing has a new 75-Ton Double Schnabel Trailer to help long haul specialists that need to transport wind energy components and heavy haul construction equipment in the days ahead is great news for the freight shipping industry of the United States. We’ll have to wait and see what heavy haul professionals in the United States think about this new specialized transport vehicle, before we can really say anything absolute. Still, with the growing wind energy sector in the United States, this new specialized transport for the wind energy industry is going to come in handy in the years ahead in the century of the environment, and it should be seen more and more on the transport roads of America.
