Rogers Ultima Series lowboy trailers now includes a 55-ton (50 t) capacity production model. This model features a 20 in. (51 cm) loaded deck height, 25 ft. (7.6 m) deck length and a 98 in. (249 cm) swing clearance. Cambered mainbeams, fabricated with 100k psi and 130k psi materials, reduce the trailer’s tare weight while maintaining strength and durability. Popular options available on the Ultima models are wheel wells, self-adjusting front folding ramps, full center decking and hydraulic trap doors.
Specialized Ultima models offer a wider selection of payload capacities, deck styles, gooseneck lengths and other options and accessories to simplify any hauling need. The number of hauling configurations can be maximized with a minimum investment by taking advantage of Ultima’s detachable rear frame, interchangeable decks and detachable axles.
Rogers No Foot self-lifting gooseneck, which quickly and easily raises or lowers the front of the deck under full load without a ram foot contacting the ground, is standard equipment. Boom wells and notched deck crossmembers allow equipment to ride low, consequently reducing load height. Self-aligning tapered beam hooks assure a positive gooseneck-to-deck connection and make reconnecting a one-man, one-minute operation.
