Flatbed trailer

for industrial materials5-axle

East flatbed trailer models maximize payload, and deliver strength and durability to meet the needs of all types of flatbed trailer applications. By incorporating lighter weight and longer lasting components into each and every trailer, East has earned the reputation of having higher resale value. The strength of our flatbed trailers is our double T-shape extruded main beam and exclusive tubular cross-member design, increasing durability and balancing load stresses more evenly for longer life and less maintenance. Its two T-shape extrusion sections of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy are welded, not bolted. The weld is in the neutral axis where stress is minimal. Our patented 2″ x 5″ tubular cross members are more twist resistant in a turn than conventional C-channel and I-beam cross members. The newly designed flatbed floor has 24-lb. weight savings on a 48-foot flatbed, resulting in a 10% increase in strength under a distributed load and 30% increase under a concentrated load. Beast (BST) Providing more stability and less flex during cornering and maneuvering, the Beast delivers up to 1,500 lbs. more payload than a comparable composite flatbed trailer. The Beast is rated to handle loads up to 52,000 lbs. concentrated in 4 feet, up to 60,000 lbs. concentrated in 10 feet and up to 90,000 lbs. distributed on a 48-foot wide-spread tandem-axle trailer. It is available in lengths up to 53 feet with a 10½-inch neck in lengths up to 53 feet with a 10½-inch neck. Beast II (BST II) Designed with all the features and benefits of the Beast, the Beast II meets the needs of applications requiring higher concentrated load ratings without additional weight.
