Talbert Introduces E3Nitro for Trailers with Capacities to 85t

Talbert Manufacturing, a leader in the specialty trailer and transport industry, has introduced its new E3Nitro.

The new E3Nitro is part of a larger series that also includes the E2Nitro and E1Nitro, with three, two or one pin-on axle(s), respectively. An ENitro system, with its nitrogen accumulator, oscillates around a central self-tracking pivot point to provide proportionate weight distribution in each axle grouping.

With the E-Nitro series, Talbert is able to build trailers with capacities well beyond what can be achieved with simple mechanical or rigid axle extensions. Historically, East Coast trailers had been limited to capacities below their potential because of axle-weight restrictions and permitting issues. But by incorporating the new Talbert E3Nitro axle extension, haulers can scale their trailers appropriately and use them to their full potential.

The E3Nitro is designed for trailers with capacities of up to 85 tons and can carry 74,100 pounds (24,700 pounds per axle) in its 3+3 configuration. An E2Nitro, which is designed for trailers with up to 65-ton capacities, can support 49,400 pounds (24,700 pounds per axle) in a 3+2 formation. Finally, the E1Nitro is designed for trailers with up to 55-ton capacities and can carry 24,700 pounds (24,700 per axle) in its 3+1 configuration.

Unlike conventional, rigid East Coast spreaders that only provide self-tracking articulation left and right, the E-Nitro Series also provides articulation up and down. This gives drivers a much safer and stable alternative than the East Coast spreaders of the past, according to Talbert.

By using a nitrogen accumulator, Talbert’s E-Nitro system hydraulically sets axle load capacity and keeps it there as the system equalizes up and down articulation.
