Talbert Manufacturing Launches
Updated Traveling Axle Trailer Series
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March 26, 2015) – Talbert Manufacturing, a North American leader in
specialized heavy-haul solutions, updated its Traveling Axle (TA) Series by increasing its
hauling capacity by 5 tons. Three of the new trailer models – the 4048TA, 4050TA and 4053TA
– have a 40-ton hauling capacity, and the new 5548TA and 5553TA trailer models haul as much
as 55 tons. The five new trailer models will replace the others within the TA Series.
The added capacity on the new TA Series trailers equates to increased hauling flexibility. For
example, the 4050TA now has an 80,000-pound evenly distributed capacity or a concentrated
load capacity of 50,000 pounds in 10 feet. This allows haulers to expand their range of load
opportunities and maximize transportation efficiency, while complying with U.S. state and
Canadian province hauling requirements.
The TA Series trailers feature a state-of-the-art, 36-inch loaded deck height. This industry-
leading low deck height provides additional clearance for bridges and tunnels when transporting
tall equipment. The 4050TA was the first model released in the updated TA Series with this
excellent low deck height feature, and it is also California-legal, making the 4050TA an ideal
west coast hauling trailer.
The five new TA Series trailer models feature Talbert’s signature piggy-back cylinder, now
with a larger diameter for faster axle travel. The new models also have an increased number
of keyholes across the rear of the trailer for additional flexibility for tying down loads, an
improved, lockable curbside gooseneck toolbox that includes a weather resistant door seal, as
well as a chain rack and other hardware upgrades.
Another key advancement with the new TA Series trailers is the standard metal e-chain for the
air and electrical lines, which now makes it both easier and less expensive to add optional
dock levelers as an aftermarket option.
The TA Series trailers feature key trailer components for easy loading on its 7-degree load
angle. Talbert’s standard equipment for the series includes a 15,000-pound planetary winch
with a two-function, wireless remote. It assists in moving equipment on and off of the trailer
by making it possible for one person to load a piece of equipment without leaving the vehicle.
Talbert also offers two other upgrade options; a six-function remote and a 20,000-pound
planetary winch. The six-function remote provides the operator with the ability to adjust the
movement of the axles, winch and deck while loading.
The TA Series trailers come standard with double keyhole tie-down slots on top of the outside
beams and recessed in the center of the main deck. For recessed tie-downs, Talbert includes a
metal basket that is mounted below the deck to protect the main cylinder from excess chain.
Talbert has multiple, optional features to enhance the TA Series trailers. Available coating
selections include the standard Valspar R-Cure® 800 paint in Talbert’s signature red and
optional Valspar Aquaguard™ for corrosion protection. Additional optional equipment includes
a 48-inch aluminum/steel bulkhead with strobe and work lights, a centralized lubrication system
and a Right Weigh load scale.
Talbert is now taking orders for all of the TA Series trailers via phone, website or in person at the
Mid-America Trucking Show.
