Utility introduces new flatbed trailer

Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company and Tautliner curtainsided trailers announced the introduction of the new 4000AE flatbed trailer.

Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company and Tautliner curtainsided trailers announced the introduction of the new 4000AE flatbed trailer.

“Our new 4000AE flatbed delivers the strength and long-term benefits of a durable combo trailer,” said Larry Roland, Director of Marketing for Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co.  “This next-generation flatbed is an evolution of the proven 4000A with a standard 47,000 lb. coil haul package and a unique 3’’ and 4” aluminum crossmember design. The 4000AE approaches the weight of an all-aluminum trailer yet is available at a combo trailer price.”

The 4000AE flatbed replaces steel crossmembers with a new patent-pending design that uses 3” and 4” aluminum crossmembers – contributing to an overall 536 lb. weight reduction while adding a standard coil haul package. Each crossmember sits in a patent-pending saddle that does not use mechanical fasteners to connect the crossmember to the steel main beams. For added stability, three tube-shaped outriggers are located on each side of the 4000AE and are connected to the aluminum crossmembers – aiding in even load distribution to the steel main beams.
