Next time you flip a light switch, think of Hamilton. A major energy company uses our custom trailer to haul industrial control valves that manage massive steam turbines at a power plant.
But unlike other custom trucks that only handle gigantic or awkward-sized loads, this trailer is built to operate in smoldering temperatures and crushing pressures. We can't reveal the specific conditions, but to put things in perspective, it withstands temperatures hotter than the surface of Venus, and more pressure than the deepest ocean.
Inside the power station, the steam turbines attach to a fossil or nuclear generator that pumps electricity for industrial and commercial needs.
Here are the tech specs of this unique trailer:
- Size: 57" wide by 102 1/2" long
- Load capacity: 30,000 lbs.
- Running gear: Four mounted W-POY-1590 press-on polyurethane wheels mounted into fifth-wheel steering arrangement
- Loop-type tongue for towing
- Open-frame construction of structural steel tubing
- Frame consists of two independent cradles with running gear directly mounted underneath
- Each cradle is equipped with nylon slings 6" wide and 4-ply layers of polyester pinned upright for adjustment
