Manac Specialty Trailers Added to ALL Erection & Crane Rental Fleet

September 10, 2014 - ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp. has added 108 Manac specialty trailers to its fleet for crane delivery. Of the 108 total specialty trailers, 104 feature galvanized steel decks for reduced maintenance and resistance to chips, scratches, and wear, particularly corrosion caused by road salt and brine.

 

The company estimates these trailers will remain a vital part of its fleet for three times longer than regular painted trailers. “That’s a significant life-cycle upgrade,” said John Bacci, logistics director, ALL Family of Companies. “This durability will make a positive impact for our northern branches that endure brutal winters, but also for branches in the Gulf region, where ocean air can really corrode metal.”

 

The order includes 100 step-deck trailers, including 50 45-ft. units with close tandem wheels, which are used to accompany ALL's taxi crane fleet to job sites. Another 50 of the Manac trailers were 48-ft. spread axle units. These are preferred for longer hauls and heavier loads. “With these spread axle units, we can get 20,000 lbs. per axle anywhere in the United States, so long as we don’t exceed a maximum weight of 80,000 lbs. for the entire load,” explains Bacci.
