Pole Stanchions

Galvanized stanchions for Pole Trailers provide a convenient way to position poles. Each is equipped with an over-center, variable tension, cam lock assembly. Because they are completely non-rusting, they won’t seize to the bolsters like old-fashioned stanchions do.

Pole Hubs

Dual pole hubs are standard on our Pole Trailers so operators can easily wrap the strap under the first binder hub, around the pole or poles, under the second binder hub and secure at the hook provided at the opposite end of the trailer. This method centrally secures the load without unsafe pole spreading.

Pole Trailer Cargo Bed

Enhance your Sauber Mfg. Co. Pole Trailer’s capability with a SmartPerf Cargo Bed. This galvanized material offers a flat surface with patterned slots that accept small binders and bungee hooks. This extra cargo space allows you to secure accessories or return spoil to your composting site back at the yard while leaving a finished worksite behind.

Rear Light Bar

A rear lightbar is essential to communicate the length of your load and your intention to stop or turn. Our fluorescent orange powder coated aluminum light bar for Pole Trailers provides FMVSS 108 lighting at the rearmost pole position. It’s an integral part of the trailer, so it’s always there, ready and working. An exclusive Tread Grip lined “V” combined with a 2″ nylon ratchet binder provided on the light bar assures a firm hold on the pole. And note the optional flag holders and switched, 360-degree strobe. Best of all, it is lightweight and keeps your operators and equipment safe and legal. Please contact us if you’d like to make a purchase.

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.

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.

Pole Muzzle

Available in several styles, galvanized pole muzzles provide a convenient method for connecting the lead pole to the towing vehicle. These units include safety chains and two methods for securing it to your wooden poles. Self-locking, worm drive winches with heavy duty 4″ straps are provided along with holes to allow attachment using customer provided crossarm bolts.

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

8805 Almag Outrigger Jack

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.
