When your custom carts are tough enough to haul monstrous loads at a nuclear deactivation site, you’re proud to be made American made. Chernobyl? Chu betcha. Nagasaki? Naga problem.
And when they’re as unique as this eight-wheel reversible auto steer (a first for Hamilton!), well you’re just plain proud.
Such is the case with this latest custom truck we like to call Crazy Eight. At 21-feet long, this powerhouse of productivity is engineered to move 13-foot-diameter pipes with a payload of 66,000 pounds each for a government deactivation and remediation project. Because the trailers are being used on the second floor of an old building, the customer was concerned about the floors holding up and therefore required a cart with tires rated under 300 psi. Problem solved. We chose press-on tires for their added strength and durability.
This is also the first custom eight-wheel steer trailer we’ve ever produced. Because you can’t get much more optimal in turning ability than an eight-wheeler with reversible tow at both ends.
So “turn to” Hamilton for all your special orders.
