What happens when a leading supplier of rolled aluminum materials decides to roll out a state-of-the-art facility? They call on Hamilton for some heavy-duty help. Because when it comes to transporting massive steel rolls, precision is key, and there’s no room for cutting corners—or backing up.
Our customer needed two bespoke trailers built for versatility, strength and efficiency to transport two distinct steel roles in their new plant with flat, smooth concrete floors—perfect for our trailers to perform their best. While both trailers have similar applications, our designs support the different sized rolls in different ways.
XT3595 Roll Transport Trailer

- Material: Steel frame and deck
- Dimensions: 84" wide x 204" long
- Running Gear: (4) sets of dual 22" diameter x 9" wide press on polyurethane with 2" sealed tapered bearings rated to 10mph

XT3596 Roll Transport Trailer
Designed for a 90-inch diameter roll, the V-cradle design supports the roll on its cylindrical face, ensuring pinpoint load accuracy.
- Trailer type: Double fifth wheel steer with lockouts
- Capacity: 50,000 lbs.
- Material: Steel frame and deck
- Dimensions: 84" wide x 144" long

Both trailers have double fifth-wheel steer designs with lockouts for easy towing in either direction, and the loop-type towing tongues lock upright for smooth maneuverability. While the XT3595 and XT3596 have distinct features for different roll sizes and weights, they share one mission: to streamline operations in the customer’s new plant.
Rolling smarter, not harder, for twice the productivity.
