Titan Trailer Introduces New Live Floor Trailer

Titan Trailer has introduced its newest aluminum smooth-side hauler. The company says the new trailer allows customers to increase their payloads by as much as 2,000 pounds. The trailer includes the company’s patented Walking Floor system.

The new Thinwall aggregates trailer features a narrower body with lower sidewalls which, along with Titan's aluminum body construction, achieves significant reductions in tare weight, compared to similarly sized belt-out trailers. The Thinwall body features Titan’s double-walled, doubled-welded construction, which, the company says, provides customers with the durability needed in extreme hauling applications such as construction and demolition waste and scrap metal.

The trailer's 102-inch frame mounts a narrow 68-inch wide body that reduces the overall weight, while providing aggregate haulers with room to load to maximum weights. The narrow smooth-sided body also streamlines the trailer for further fuel savings, a lower center of gravity and improved tracking on the road.

Inside the trailer is the company’s latest 6-slat V-floor self-unloader, which provides a level unloading capability without the extra weight, height and maintenance demands of belt conveyors. Titan has enhanced the system with an integral V-Plow self-cleaning system.

With no subframe required, the V-Floor unloader allows the Titan trailer to maintain a lower sidewall profile, reducing wind resistance and allowing loading with smaller equipment.

Mike Kloepfer, president of Titan Trailers, says that the customized V-floor trailer offers aggregate haulers the opportunity to earn more profit on every load with larger payloads, lower fuel costs and with reduced costs for maintenance and routine service. The solid level deck of the V-floor system also expands the range of contracts that truckers can take on as backhauls or in the off-season for construction projects. The V-Floor unloader is able to load commodities as varied as palletized goods, agricultural chemicals and even hot asphalt.

Standard equipment includes a hydraulically powered tailgate, disc brakes and a handheld remote control for operating the Walking Floor, V-Plow, tarp and tailgate.
