Beavertail Equipment Trailer – 60K GVWR

Bolt-on Swivel D-Ring

This is the only D-ring that has both the benefit of being replaceable and easily added or relocated without welding. In fact, our D-rings contain no welds at all due our bolt-together design. The ring is supported by our C95700 aluminum bronze backer casting, making it an unrivaled, exceptionally tough solution. Both the D-ring itself and the attachment bracket are hot-dipped galvanized, and the assembly is rated at a 9,120-lb. working load limit.

Our side-mounted D-rings allow for an unobstructed deck, which is particularly helpful with wide equipment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Winch Binder with Strap Choices

Ratchet-type binders are known as chin-busters and back-strainers for good reason. Finding that next tooth position to provide the right strength and torque is often frustrating and dangerous.

We offer self-locking, worm gear winch binders to eliminate a risk to safety with a 5500# capacity. They’re simple to use with the ability to hold tension at all times. With highly durable component materials and finishes, it is safer, easier to use and longer lasting than ratchet type binders. After 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. The 4″W nylon straps are color coded to identify length, for simple, correct replacement. Right-sized straps eliminate excessive strap tails after securement. Heavy duty hooks are installed opposite binders to secure the strap D-ring.

Care & Use

Premium Flex Grip Gladhand Set

We automatically provide coil hoses that avoid pinching and slack, FLEX-Grips that flex with air lines during tight turns while providing a full, comfortable grip, and gladhand holders that secure and protect the connectors when not in use. This HD version of FLEX-Grip includes brass fittings and a robust, thermo-elastomeric construction. This feature is standard for us because it’s the best we can offer.

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.

8805 Almag Outrigger Jack

The standard Model 8805 Almag Outrigger Jack offers simple, reliable use through better design and materials. With no fasteners and no rusting parts, simply move the bronze latch to raise and lower the Almag Jack Leg into position and replace the latch. It is that simple.

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.  Even when structures like cross members need to be attached, it’s generally done with fasteners.  Providing good welds is a necessary part of trailer building.  Engineering out of welds where possible provides structural benefits and is an intelligent thing to do.

 A bent tube frame is superior because:

• It provides uniform strength throughout the frame by eliminating the stress concentrations common in the heat affected zone caused by welding.
• The welded area does not have the toughness that is inherent in a continuous bent tube frame.
• The weld area is difficult to inspect because the joint is hidden after it is welded.  This is true for other welds as well but, in this critical area, there are unique challenges.  An angled cut is required and the accuracy of this cut and the resulting joint can not be verified after the tube is welded.  The tube walls should be beveled prior to the weld application and this cannot be determined after the fact without cutting the tube apart.  The V-groove weld that results is difficult to ensure full joint penetration on the hidden base of the joint.
• Welding provides a discontinuous surface that is more susceptible to rust formation and this deterioration through time can affect the strength of the joint.
• Just as a casting can provide uniformity of shape and character, a bent frame does not possess the variability introduced by cutting, beveling, bending, and welding the joint

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…

Galvanizing

Hot dipped galvanized finish is standard across our entire line of trailers.

Experience counts and you can count on weldments and equipment designs which optimize the benefits of hot dipped galvanizing. We include bolt-on cargo decking that is flat and safe to walk on. In addition, we provide accessories in hot dipped galvanized whenever feasible. Often, we’ll provide axle components in galvanized finish.  In fact, all our trailer wheels are galvanized as well.

Every day, customers trust our experience in galvanizing, innovative features, and durable design to work with them on their next successful trailer application.
