Doonan Introduces Flatbed Trailer for Hauling Steel Coils
Doonan Specialized Trailer announced that it has designed and manufactured a new Series 2 V-channel trough flatbed trailer.
It is intended for special loading applications where steel coils cannot be transferred into and from a recessed trailer well, but still require safe securement on the flatbed, the Great Bend, Kansas-based manufacturer said.
The 44-foot by 96-inches, 110,000-pound GVWR, all-steel, tri-axle trailer with bulkhead, cradles 3-foot to 7-foot diameter steel coils shotgun style inside a V-shaped, rubber-lined steel trough on the center surface of the flatbed, Doonan said.
The channel cribbing cushions the coils and allows for efficient loading and removal from the trailer, the company said.
“The new Series 2 V-channel coil haul trailer is a niche market trailer that we designed to address a need in the marketplace,” Kelly Zecha, a national dealer manager at Doonan, said in a statement.
