The slide axle carriage system incorporates rack and pinion with hydraulic drive motors that travel approximately 20ft on sealed rollers with bearings for smooth slider movement and ease of transport.
This design significantly improves the alignment between the main deck, frame and slide axle component, the company said. The carriage system features side guide rollers and slide axle component locking pins to hold in transport position.
The perimeter deck design increases stability and reduces the overall weight of the trailer to allow for increased load and increased slide axle travel. The Super Slider’s 17 degree angle helps load and unload containers. The Super Slider also features a 5-degree load angle for loading pavers, bases, and rollers.
The hydraulic winch was moved from the gooseneck to the front of the main deck to maximize useful deck space. A 12,000 lb. winch is standard on all Super Sliders, although options include a 15,000, 20,000 or 30,000 lb. winch can be upgraded as an option. Rollers are located on the neck to protect the trailer from the cable of the winch. All hydraulic controls are in a central location for easy operation, driver side access, right where you need them. Optional air weigh scales, wireless remote, dock levelers, pony motor, and a fork lift package are also available.
“With the rack-and-pinion design you no longer have to worry about road corrosion, chipping or replacement of an expensive hydraulic cylinder,” the company says. I-Beam cross members are used in lieu of tubes. All cross members are coated with a two-part epoxy primer and urethane paint minimizing the risk of rust or corrosion.
