For Western Australian operators, we have developed a specific pocket road train to suit state-specific conditions and regulations.
Tare weights start at 14.5 tonnes for a tip over axle combination with a tandem dolly. Working off 27.5 meters overall length, your GLT pocket road train can be built with either a fixed or removable dolly. The fixed dolly option uses a double row ball race.
Select from our entire range of Customised Trailers to build your combination. Our most popular combination is the chassis tipper lead with a 6 axle dog chassis tipper. This combination tares around the 17 tonnes in a grain style spec.
27.5m pocket RT
| Detail: | Measurement: |
|---|---|
| Body Lengths: | 31’2″ to 34’5″ |
| Body Heights: | 4′ to 8’6″ |
| Total Capacities: | 56 to 146 cubic metres |
| Total Tare Weight: | 14.1 to 17.5 tonnes |
This standard body type is a strong, cost effective and a light weight option. Choose from two body widths: Narrow - 2,330mm or Wide (standard) - 2,480mm.
The drop in the floor will increase the trailer's capacity by 4-8 cubic meters depending on the trailer length. Tare weight will be increased by round 70kgs.
This option will give you a similar capacity increase as the drop deck. Tare weight increase will also be similar to the drop deck style body.
Lower sections are formed from 10mm plate which is then joined to 8mm plate midway up the wall. Mill finish plate is used which can be left raw or painted.
This is our standard front sheet which is 5mm thick with a polished finish. Other thicknesses and finishes are available.
This option is ideal for carrying liquid based products. The front sheet is specially rolled before being welded into the place. As liquids move forward when decelerating, the shape of the front sheet reduces the liquid's impact. We recommend a thickness of 6mm to add stiffness to the front sheet which reduces fatigue.
By far our most popular option. The tarp rolls up neat and tidy out of the way when loading. When unrolled, the tarp offers a high level of cover to protect your load. Compared to the QLD style tarp, the roll over is easier for the operator to use, reducing OH&S risks. Side drop is 300mm standard and can be increased to 600mm. A full range of colours available. Razor electronic tarp upgrade available on this tarp.
If you want the most water proof tarp option, tick this option. Tarps come standard with 300mm long flaps front and rear which are pull down tight to seal the front and rear of the tub. The side drop is standard at 600mm. This gives you a bit of extra room to roll over the heaped loads while still getting a tight seal along the side of the tub. A full range of colours are available.
These tarps retract forward to allow loading. The rear part of the tarp has a flap end which is pulled down tight to seal the rear of the trailer once loaded. The tarp supports can range from 200mm to 350mm high. Retractable tarps are not waterproof and leaking can occur. A full range of colours are available.
Our standard light spacing interval is 1300-1500mm. If you want more light bling then we can go as close as 300mm between lights. We also offer lights at the top of the side sheets at matching intervals.
Tailgate pivots from the top only.
Tailgate can pivot from either the top of the side. A parrot break and pivot bold is needed to allow the 2 way system to work.
This door style uses container style locks and stainless steel hinges. The doors can be fixed open with latches.
Our most popular type of hinge. This hinge sits outside of the body.
This hinge allows for the rear door to close flush. Some people say that this hinge type is pretty good looking, too.
The rear of the tailgate has the internal support posts exposed. This style door is our lightest door.
This style gives the door a clean finish. There is a weight penalty of around 50-80kgs. The inside of the door is still a flush finish just like the standard tailgate.
The fingers and assembly are fabricated from stainless steel. You can choose from either manually operated or air-operated. Air-operated 4-finger locks have a single air ram, which provides locking force.
The fingers and assembly are fabricated from stainless steel. You can choose from either manually operated or air-operated. Air operated 7 finger locks are 2 air rams which provides the locking force.
Select from either single or double manual grain locks. Our grain lock handles are fabricated from stainless steel. The wear pads are mounted to the tailgate and made from stainless steel.
We offer 2 different types of air grain locks. The upright and the horizontal verison. Both options give exceptional sealing pressure. Air grain locks are syncronised with the air finger locks - all off the one push/pull switch.
Recommend for operators wanting to cart products such as hides. These locks are manually operated and provide excellent sealing pressure. The door plug seals the grain door water tight.
This option is suited to tailgates where clearance with the ground or other trailers is an issue. We can do a single or a double split. The split is controlled by a single or twin air ram.
A popular option. The vinyl is applied in 1400mm wide drops with a slight overlap. Each drop can be replaced if they get damaged, making it less expensive to maintain compared to paint. Select from a large range of colour options.
Dress up your radius guards with chrome dress strips. These look great and finish off the guard area nicely.
Another well-known EBS unit popular with our clients. This unit offers stability control and EBS braking. Knorr Bremse offer excellent technical aftersales support.
If safety is high on your list when operating, then you need to consider the Wabco EBS system. This electrically-controlled braking system helps to reduce the risk of serious accidents.
This special lining will give the floor sheet extra protection as well as provide a slick surface to reduce friction. This style of lining will increase the chances of contamination if you are hauling different loads.
Choose from either aluminium or steel. We have a range of thicknesses to suit your needs. Wear plate can be added to the floor or walls.
Are you needing to protect your side sheets from abrasive loads? Rock sheeting will extend the life of your trailer. We use 4mm pressed plate and can be added to the sides, front sheet and door.
Top coamings are also an exclusive aluminium extrusion. These specialised extrusions increase the tub body strength while maintaining exceptional tare weight. All top coamings are either huck riveted or bolted with stainless steel bolts. This method of construction allows the coaming to flex and reduces the risk of cracking.
All trailers with a king pin position less then 900mm come standard with a Jost body lock. GLT bodies are designed to have the hoist feet mounted directly above the king pin to increase strength and stability while tipping. Bodies with upright hoists need the body lock to help hold the body in position while traveling.
Each chassis is Hi-definition plasma cut cut. Our steel fabrication team are highly skilled qualified tradesmen. Miller digital pulse welders are used to lay a clean weld.
All edges on flanges are sanded and polished to reduce the chances of cracking and to help paint adhere to the steel.
Our pivots use a superior through design which greatly increases the strength of the pivot area. A 50mm pivot pin is slotted through a welded connection, making it exceptional strong.
GLT chassis are optimised for Hendrickson Intraax airbag suspension and axles. Other brands such as BPW, SAF and K-Hitch can be optioned. Subtle design changes are made to the chassis to accommodate these different suspension brands ride characteristics.
GLT chassis are optimised for Hendrickson INTRAAX air bag suspension and Hendrickson axles. Other brands such as BPW, SAF and K-Hitch can also be equipped if requested. GLT is an authorised Hendrickson dealer which allows us to offer greater after-sales support.
Air bag suspension offers better ride quality, low tare weight and simplified ways of reading load weights. The prefered brands which we supply have passed our field testing protocol and have excellent after sales support. All trailers with air bag suspension are equipped with ball valve taps to isolate individual bags. These taps will allow you to shut off an air bag if it has an issue.
Mechanical spring suspension can be fitted to most GLT trailers. K-Hitch KHDO/KHU and FW88 are our preferred spring suspension models.
