Key benefits of using the Gooseneck Light Weight Tandem
Optimized Cargo Capacity with Lightweight Design
The Gooseneck Light Weight Tandem is designed with a lightweight structure, maximizing cargo capacity while ensuring compliance with weight regulations. Thanks to its hollowed structure that still supports a payload of up to 67,200 lbs (30,480 kgs), this product allows for transporting more goods in a single trip, reducing the number of trips and saving transportation costs. The combination of lightweight and high operational efficiency also helps significantly reduce fuel costs and emissions, offering a sustainable transportation solution for your business.
Highly Durable Frame for Long-Term Use
The frame of the Gooseneck Light Weight Tandem is meticulously engineered to ensure exceptional durability and strength. Despite the hollowed design to reduce weight, the frame retains the ability to carry heavy payload without compromising durability. This ensures the product not only delivers high performance but also offers a long lifespan, giving you peace of mind for years of reliable use without concerns about damage or breakage.
Compliance with Federal Transportation Standards
The 40′ Gooseneck Light Weight Tandem from Thaco Trailers fully complies with federal transportation standards, including DOT, AAR, ANSI, TOFC, F(C)MVSS, SAE, and TTMA certifications. This ensures the product’s legal and efficient operation on North American roadways.
Innovative design and creative engineering
Advanced engineering
This lightweight gooseneck trailer incorporates a modern LED lighting system and precision-engineered synthetic lubricants for the wheels, enhancing safety and longevity. The trailer’s frame is constructed from high-strength steel alloy with strategically placed holes in the frame structure, reducing overall weight without compromising durability. Additionally, the wheel end is engineered with advanced lightweight materials, further contributing to the trailer’s reduced weight. The use of aluminum rims further lowers the trailer’s overall weight, optimizing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. The Q+ brake system ensures reliable braking under heavy loads.
Optimized load distribution for superior stability
The tandem lightweight suspension system and fabricated H-beams in the lightweight gooseneck trailer ensure even load distribution, enhancing stability during transportation. This design innovation maximizes efficiency for heavy-duty operations while maintaining smooth and controlled handling.
