Despite the aerodynamic design of the modern tractor, in a quest for greater fuel economy, the rectanglular shape of the trailer has changed very little since its inception.

Utility Trailer is hoping to change all that. It introduced two new designs at the Mid-America Trucking Show, as well as an environmental collaboration with another company to promote a drag-reduction device.

At the start of the launch, Utility Trailer introduced its new thin-wall 4000D-X dry van, a post panel design that has a composite wall for less damage and greater durability. The sidewall panel is made of high-density polyurethane foam construction “sandwiched” between high-strength inner and outer skins, forming a composite that bonds together. The result, according to Utility, is a composite panel that absorbs more energy, and outperforms earlier designs.

“It’s a lean design that is lighter, and stronger than its predecessor,” said Craig Bennett, Utility Trailer’s senior vice-president of sales and marketing.

The 4000DX also utilizes the company’s patented SnagFree recessed posts, for damage-resistant loading. Some of the standard features include a stainless steel rear door frame, and flush-mounted galvanized steel logistics posts, with fully-recessed, squeezed fasteners for greater durability.

Utility Trailer also introduced what it describes as the “highest strength, lowest weight flatbed.” The 4000A is built with aluminum/steel composite that reduces TARE weight by 400 lbs. Utility says the new flatbed is durable, reliable, and stronger than previous models, due to a newly-designed 80,000 psi high-tensile steel, hat-shaped main beam top flange.

“Our goal was to bring to market an optimized flatbed trailer that would provide the maximum return on investment for our customers,” said Jeff Bennett, vice-president of engineering for Utility Trailer. “We did this by eliminating 400 lbs of steel and aluminum on the base model flatbed, which not only reduced material costs, but enabled the trailer to carry more payload.”

On another front, Utility Trailer has entered into a partnership with ATDynamics, for the commercial launch of the latter’s aerodynamic TrailerTail. The rear-drag reduction device will be attached to the rear of the trailer, for greater fuel economy.

This design qualified for the US Environmental Protection certified SmartWay program, an environmental and financial incentive intended to promote upgrades that result in fuel economy, and thus, reduced emissions. The incentive is potentially available to Canadians, who take advantage of US financial arrangements linked to SmartWay, according to a financial representative related to the program, who was speaking at the Mid America Trucking Show.

It may be more than a decade until technologies such as electric vehicles can have an effect on worldwide demand for oil, so General Motors Corp. is putting its near-term energy-saving focus on ethanol, Rick Wagoner, GM chairman and chief executive officer, told attendees Sunday at the North American International Auto Show here.GM is partnering with Coskata Inc., a Warrenville, Ill., company that has developed processes for making ethanol out of many degradable products, Wagoner said. He did not provide details, but a company spokesman said later that GM is a part owner of Coskata.

Ethanol is a “temporary solution” to the need to reduce petroleum use, but with six million vehicles in the United States that could run on E85, it “offers a quick alternative,” he said.

Wagoner said the federal government should do more to develop a unified energy strategy and to encourage ethanol use by helping to increase the number of ethanol fuel stations. “It’s time for the [United States] to address this matter. It’s eminently doable,” he said.

Wagoner said GM would continue its research into fuel cells and other alternative power systems. GM has several gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles on the market and is about to introduce a hybrid Chevrolet Tahoe full-size sport utility vehicle.

If you a vehicle owner or in any way related to the transport industry, then you must be familiar with the term of trailers and also its usage. Depending upon the usage and requirement, you can choose from various types of trailers, such as open-air trailers or enclosed trailers.

Open Trailers are also known as car haulers as they are used to transport cars from one place to another location. Apart from it, they can also be utilized to haul farm tractors, ATVs, motorcycles, lawn equipments and materials that have to be dumped. On the other hand, concessions, general cargo, miscellaneous equipments, ATVs, cars, motorcycles and snowmobiles are hauled by using enclosed trailers.

Enclosed haulers are in a way better than open haulers as they provide protection against hazards, such as UV light damage, theft, vandalism, bad weather and other security and road hazards.

While you are planning to purchase a trailer, always consider the requirement of the specific size of the trailer. The maximum tongue weight and load carrying capacity of the tow vehicle are the other factors that should be considered. Do not forget to verify your trailer’s weight once it is fully loaded with what you have actually decided to haul. So, it is better to determine the weight of items you are planning to tow.

Weight is a great determiner to know how many axles will be required for your trailer. Apart from weight and size of the expected load, purpose, turning radius and budget of the load are some other aspects that should be analyzed before making the purchase of the trailer.

A single axle trailer is used for loads varying from light to moderate loads whereas tandem axle trailer is good for heavy loads. Travel trailers and utility trailers are available in multiple and single axle varieties that permit tow vehicles of different sizes. For more information on car haulers, equipment trailer, and dump trailers, you can simply log on to Trailers for sale. You can have a look at various trailers and haulers available with us.

A gooseneck trailer is another important variety that is mainly employed for equipments and heavy loads towing as it has a tighter turning radius and improved stability.

Utility trailers are of great use for both home owners and contactors as well. These multipurpose utility trailers are available in varied sizes so as to cater to your specific requirements like for lifting lawn mowers, vehicles, golf carts as well as ideal for hauling small equipment too. Car haulers are used for specific purpose of hauling your vehicles, including personal car or racing car. Apart from car haulers, another variety is equipment trailer which are used to transfer skid loaders, excavators, and small tractors. Dump trailers are used for small purposes at homes as well as for commercial purposes. These types of dump trailers are available in various types of models, sizes and weights.

Established in 1977, TexasBraggTrailers.com offers the finest varieties of car haulers, dump trailers, gooseneck trailer, equipment trailer and utility trailers. Our experts pay a lot of emphasis on design, quality and other minute specifications so as to ensure you the quality trailers and haulers.

Truck and trailer makers are offering 2007 models certified by the Environmental Protection Agency’s SmartWay program. The EPA says the trucks can save owners $11,000 annually while reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and air pollutants.

Freightliner, International, Kenworth, Mack, Peterbilt and Volvo are participating in the program. SmartWay-designated models include the International ProStar and Volvo VN and, in 2008, the Freightliner Century Class S/T and Columbia.

SmartWay-approved equipment can reduce fuel consumption 10 to 20 percent by reducing wind resistance, the EPA says. Each Smartway truck can save 2,000 to 4,000 gallons of diesel per year – or $5,680 to $11,360, at current retail prices.

A dump truck with its trailer bed in the raised position crashed into the North Fork of the Lewis River bridge on southbound Interstate 5, then was struck by a tractor-trailer early Thursday morning.

According to the Washington State Patrol, a 1996 Kenworth dump truck driven by David Olson, 43, of Woodland left the yard of Groat Brothers Transportation in Woodland around 2:30 a.m. with the trailer’s bed upright.

The raised bed snagged some power lines in Woodland. Olson continued, entering the southbound lane of I-5 from Woodland. About a mile down the freeway, the trailer hit a metal support beam of the North Fork bridge. That caused the dump container to come off the trailer frame, blocking the right lane. Olson stopped a short distance away, also blocking the right lane.

Soon after, a 2005 Volvo tractor-trailer owned by Swift Transportation and driven by Timothy Price, 21, of Bend, Ore., collided with the dump container lying on the freeway. The dump container flew into the air, then embedded in the Swift trailer. The Swift rig then jackknifed, blocking the center and left lanes.

Price had a bump on his head. Olson was not hurt but was cited for second-degree negligent driving. Department of Transportation officials inspected the bridge, which has overhead supports, and found damage to three metal beams. An inspection found the bridge to be structurally sound, but the damage will need to be repaired in the future.

The right lane of the freeway was closed for a short time until the trucks were removed. The center and left lanes were blocked for more than two hours but were cleared in time for the morning commute, the Washington State Patrol report said.

Dave Andrew with Cowlitz County PUD said a power pole was damaged but did not lead to any outages.
