Custom Reel Frame

We develop reel frame kits that retrofit to your existing flatbed truck or trailer. Bolt-on/off convenience creates a lot of flexibility for your fleet. Outfitting a custom frame with a turret assures the reel can line up to the work, not the whole vehicle. Our turrets lock on 6-degree intervals and rotate fully loaded with less than 10 pounds of force. A cost-effective alternative to a new trailer purchase. Contact us to discuss your application.

Steps and Ladders

Ask our sales professionals what step option will best fit your application. From rear bumper Safety Swing Steps to Stow-Away Ladders, we engineer for stability and strength, using a non-rusting solution to get you on and off your vehicle safely. Our choices are easily mountable and ensure a secure foothold and a system that stows securely out of the way for travel.

Hubodometers

Recording trailer miles makes sense for utility fleets. With our Hubodometers, you can optimize both your maintenance efforts and asset utilization with this tool. Our Hubodometers are hermetically sealed, have no moving parts for long life and include a 4-year, 500,000-mile warranty. Stainless steel brackets or aluminum housing installations provide rust-free, secure mounting. We offer retrofit kits for fleet-related bulk orders. Contact us to discuss your application.

Grounding Lug

With simple attachment for convenient placement, our 5/8″ x 5″ bronze lug offers fast and secure grounding.

Our grounding lug is cast from C95400 Silicon Bronze which has 52% better conductivity than the carbon steel frame it is ultimately attached to. When installed on Hot Dipped Galvanized equipment, the C65100 Silicon Bronze fasteners mate the lug directly to the galvanized surface. Sauber Mfg. Co. provided Hot-Dipped Galvanized finish has more than triple the conductivity of the underlying carbon steel. These essential components are strongly resistant to corrosion and will endure decades of unsheltered use.

SmartPerf Lined Tongue Area

This smooth steel tongue area floor with a slot pattern offers drainage and a flat surface for material storage with attachment points for bungee or small straps.

Stainless-Steel Toolboxes

We are pleased to offer a premium line of custom stainless-steel toolboxes with an outstanding feature set at responsible prices. These heavy-duty toolboxes are built from 14-gauge stainless steel. 304 Polished stainless steel strap hinges feature Delrin bushings for low-friction opening and closure. A sealed compression latch and rubber gasketing ensure a weather and road-proof compartment. We always add panel stiffeners and gas shocks for larger dimensioned panels. Being a fully-customizable toolbox; dividers, bins, shelves, hooks and other requirements can be added.

Winch Binder Guide

We utilize a 5500# capacity, self-locking worm gear drive winch is safer, easier to use and longer lasting than ratchet type binders. With thousands of installations in the field, they are tested and preferred by users across the U.S. and Canada. Our galvanized crank handle makes the operation smooth and simple, eliminating the traditional pitfalls of a breaker bar. The 4″W nylon straps are color coded as to length for easy identification and replacement when necessary. Right-sized straps also eliminate excessive remainder strap after securement. Heavy duty hooks are installed opposite binders to secure the strap D-ring.

8805 Almag Outrigger Jack

Our standard Model 8805 Almag Outrigger Jack is the ultimate solution for durability and ease of use. With superior design and materials, you benefit from maintenance-free, rust-free service. Just move the bronze latch to raise or lower the jack leg, and you’re done. It’s that simple and reliable, ensuring you can focus on the day’s work without worrying about repairs or upkeep.

The Model 8805 Almag Outrigger Jack is standard on many of our utility construction trailers.

Bent Mainframes

Why are bent frame tubes so important?

Look at the frames on vehicle chassis. You will find very little welding. Engineering a design with fewer welds provides structural benefits and is an intelligent thing to do.

Our Bent Structural Tube Trailer Frame has superior, uniform strength throughout the frame. A welded trailer A-frame has stress concentrations at the weld area’s heat-affected zone. A welded A-frame cannot possess the toughness inherent in a continuous, bent tube frame.

Inspection of this type of weld area is challenging because the joint is hidden by multiple weld passes. While this is common for many weld areas, this critical area presents unique challenges. Correct and repeatable steps are necessary. Both sides of the frame must have correctly executed, beveled angle cuts so that they join perfectly with no gaps. At the joint, the beveled surfaces must create a V-groove with the correct dimensions to allow weld penetration. Importantly, none of these aspects can be inspected after welding the joint, nor can the strength of the frame be verified. Additionally, the welded area has a discontinuous surface that is more susceptible to rust and deterioration over time, affecting the strength of the frame.

Our Bent Structural Tube Construction has none of these variables. It is stronger than a welded A-frame every time.

All-Weather Wheel Chocks

Specify Sauber Mfg. Co. All-Weather Wheel Chocks for safety. The grip strut face locks wheels tight on all surfaces in all weather conditions. The chock face grips tight to the tire surface while the motion of the tire wedges the chock between the wheel and the ground. The orange urethane grip handle is highly visible and reminds users to deploy and retrieve it. It is comfortable and easy to grip with gloved or bare hands.

All-Weather Wheel Chocks are unconditionally guaranteed against breakage for the life of the equipment they protect. Available with holders for every application, Sauber All-Weather Wheel Chocks continue to protect people and property decades after we designed and patented them.

Wheel Nut Indicators

During their daily safety check, your operator will be immediately aware of two potentially dangerous conditions with a quick look at our standard wheel nut indicators. The indicator may be pointing outside the circle pattern which will signal that a wheel nut has loosened. The indicator may also have started to blister and distort which indicates it has been exposed to temperatures above 240° which could be an indication of brake or bearing issues. A simple feature, but one that makes a Sauber trailer simpler and safer to operate.
