XL Specialized Trailers has launched the XL Knight 80 MFG detachable gooseneck lowboy trailer, with an overall capacity of 80,000 pounds. The 48-foot trailer has a concentrated capacity of 70,000 pounds in 16 feet, and it has 29 feet of main deck loading space. Loaded deck height is 18 inches.
The mechanical, full-width gooseneck Knight trailer is also known as a double drop. Standard features include front connection plates with three height settings for adaptability over various terrains. The front of the main deck can go up or down 1.5 inches, for a total variance of 3 inches. The raise-and-lower valve in the rear allows for an adjustment of 1.5 inches.
The Knight 80 MFG has MicroNova clearance lights, and a battery backup with a four-way plug enables the lights to stay on even when the trailer is disconnected from the truck.
A front storage area can stow chains or other materials. Swingout outriggers can be added to the main deck for hauling over-width loads. A 2x2-foot cutout in the rear transition provides additional space for equipment such as draw bars on tractors.
