Utility Introduces Lighter Flatbed Trailer
Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co. introduced its new 4000AE flatbed trailer.
The 4000AE comes standard with a 47,000 pound coil haul package, yet it is 536 pounds lighter than the 4000A base model, and 627 pounds lighter than the 4000A flatbed fitted with an optional coil haul package.
“This next-generation flatbed is an evolution of the proven 4000A [and] approaches the weight of an all-aluminum trailer yet is available at a combo trailer price,” Larry Roland, director of marketing for Utility, said in a statement.
Each crossmember sits in a patent-pending saddle that does not use mechanical fasteners to connect the crossmember to the steel main beams, City of Industry, California-based Utility said.
