REAR AXLE SLIDER

Throughout the last year, the rear axle slider that is available on all platform trailers has received significant updates. With a weight savings of 105 pounds, this air-operated function allows the user to adjust the axle position to best suit the load. The axle positions can be adjusted from a 10-foot, 2-inch spread to a closed tandem.

A galvanized steel slider box was put in place so that the axle pins can be moved within the frame of the trailer effortlessly. This greaseless option is optimal for customers looking to carry a variety of loads with specific hauling requirements.

1000 CUBE IMPROVEMENTS Since its introduction in 2020, the MAC Trailer 1000-cube pneumatic tank trailer has received significant upgrades. The overall height of this trailer has been reduced by 6 inches to accommodate pre-existing agricultural structures while maintaining its 1000-cube capacity. With an improved weight distribution, trucks varying from 17,000 – 21,000 lbs can now be used to haul the 1000-cube trailer. This improvement grants a wider range of versatility in what truck types can be used. A bolt-on adjustable coupler (16-32 in.) is included to adjust the king pin for appropriate weight distribution.

An optional galvanized sliding 5th wheel plate can also be added to further accommodate specific trucks and their hauling requirements. A ball valve is used to adjust the 5th wheel plate to the appropriate position needed.
