XL BladeMate Heavy Haul Trailer
The XL BladeMate provides a specialized solution for hauling wind tower blades. This versatile heavy-haul wind trailer can be adjusted to fit any size or brand of blade. It features a unique hydraulically operated self-steering system which increases safety and efficiency by automatically keeping the axles in line with the kingpin. At 184-feet fully extended, length is not an issue. All of the telescoping trailer beams, as well as the pullout bumper, use XL’s trusted extendable technology to create a hassle-free extension.
Highlights
A wireless remote controls the steering system and can be used to switch to over steering.
24-inch rolling and non-rolling load bunks are positionable on any area of the beam to accommodate various blade models.
Self-steering system automatically rotates axles to keep them in alignment with the truck at all times. The kingpin rotates and prompts the axles to track with it..
Pigtail hooks hold air and electric lines; they are not welded to trailer so they are easily replaced if broken and offer adjustability.
A 20-foot rear non-load-bearing bumper can be pulled into position by two men for fast set-up.
The 53-foot long trailer extends to over 184' using a telescoping beam system.
The telescoping main beam and pullout bumper use XL's trusted extendable technology to extend smoothly.
XL’s new premium paint process, featuring sandblasting, includes a full 1 year warranty.
The XL BM is prepped for deck inserts which allow you to reach over 200 feet in length overall.
D.O.T. approved 12V sealed Grote harness with 7 year warranty.
Red/green indicator lights on the toolbox front and rear signal if the power unit is on or off.
Always striving to surpass market standards, all new XL products feature a 5 year structural warranty.
A beacon alerts the driver and pilot car if the axles turn out of rotation (3° or more).
XL’s one piece construction results in stronger products. Trailer I-beams are made from one piece web and flange and then welded on all sides.
