Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company has introduced 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-pound 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-pound 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.
The rugged 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.
