Talbert Manufacturing released its Tag-A-Long Austin Carry-All Series (AC Series) Trailers to minimize load times and maximize productivity for everyday hauling of small- to mid-size equipment. The line of 10- to 25-ton Tag-A-Long trailers features loaded deck heights, durable construction, and a low, 7-degree load angle to transport a variety of equipment – from asphalt rollers and machines for dirt work to cable and pipe for gas and electric utility applications. Talbert’s AC Series is designed for use in industries such as general construction, paving, agriculture, and oil fields.

“As contractors diversify their operations to meet changing demands, they require more flexibility from their equipment,” said Troy Geisler, vice president of sales and marketing, Talbert Manufacturing. “Our AC Series trailers are specially designed to maximize versatility while providing the durability and safety Talbert Manufacturing is known for.”

For maneuverability in urban environments, the dual axle AC-10 offers a 10-ton, 20,000-lb capacity with an overall transport length of 29’ 6”. Deck length is 24’ – 19’ flat with a 5’ beavertail – with 5’ 5” self-cleaning, spring-assisted rear ramps. Loaded deck height is 32.25”, making it ideal for operation in areas with low-clearance obstacles, such as residential and commercial building sites and for urban utility operations. The AC-20 is a step up for contractors looking for larger capacity but with the same compact footprint. It offers a 20-ton, 40,000-lb capacity while maintaining the same deck dimensions and loaded deck height.

The AC3-25 has a 29’ deck – 24’ flat with a 5’ beavertail – and a 25-ton, 50,000-lb capacity with a 32.75” loaded deck height. Like all AC Series trailers, the AC3-25 features pierced I-beam cross member construction for a solid foundation, designed for use in off-road or rugged terrain such as oil fields or construction and utility jobsites. Talbert also uses apitong flooring on all AC Series trailers for a durable, long-lasting deck surface. Compared to oak or other materials, this tightly woven and dense South Asian wood is less susceptible to chipping and cracking and provides more traction, the company says.

The AC-20ART and AC3-25ART improve on the base design of the AC Series by incorporating an air ramp and/or air tilt for safe, easy loading of low-clearance equipment. The air-powered ramps eliminate handling heavy ramps prior to loading. This is intended to increase both efficiency and safety for loading and offloading operations.

Talbert designs its Tag-A-Long trailers for durability and longevity. Like all of the company’s trailers, the AC Series comes standard with Valspar R-Cure 800 paint to prevent corrosion for a long-lasting finish and better return on investment.
