Doonan Specialized Trailer LLC has designed and manufactured a new ‘Series 2’ V-channel trough flatbed coil haul trailer for special loading applications, where coils cannot be transferred into and from a recessed trailer well, but still require safe securement on the flatbed. The 44 ft. by 96 in., 110,000 GVWR, all-steel, tri-axle trailer with bulkhead, cradles 3- to 7-ft. diameter steel coils shotgun style inside a V-shaped, rubber-lined steel trough on the center surface of the flatbed. This innovative channel cribbing cushions the coils and allows for efficient loading and removal from the trailer.
Features of the trailer, according to Doonan, include a walkway on both sides of the channel, allowing for easy inspection of the load; tie-downs cthat an be applied by a driver from alongside the trailer to further support the securement of the coils, via a sliding winch track on both sides; and a sliding tarp system to eliminate the driver having to tarp the load.
“The new ‘Series 2’ V-channel coil haul trailer is a niche’ market trailer that we designed to address a need in the marketplace,” said Kelly Zecha, national dealer manager/application specialist at Doonan. “This model serves as yet another example of how Doonan continues to lead the industry in developing innovative, specialized trailer solutions.”
