Fontaine Trailer Revolution
Expands Line with New Dropdeck Model
Fontaine® Trailer, the recognized technology leader in the platform trailer Industry, is launching a revolutionary 48' x 102" dropdeck trailer that weighs only 9,300 lbs –the new Fontaine Revolution® Hybrid Dropdeck. This advanced technology trailer features steel main beams with an extruded aluminum floor that delivers superior strength and stability. The patented design is lighter and stronger and boasts a concentrated load capacity of 54,000 lbs in just 5 ft.
The Fontaine Revolution® Hybrid is unlike any dropdeck trailer you have ever seen. The first thing you notice is the sleek unitized design, made possible by proven technology borrowed from the aerospace industry. This patented unitized design maintains the integrity of the trailer geometry under load and under centrifugal force to provide superior handling, reduced tire wear and improved fuel economy. The unprecedented stability virtually eliminates "side-bow" so secured loads are less likely to shift in transit. This important safety feature reduces the potential for rollover situations.
The patented one-piece extruded aluminum siderail looks great and withstands impact damage better than steel siderails. An integrated load securement system makes loading and unloading faster, safer and much more driver-friendly.
