The 3+2 modular multi-purpose trailer is designed and built to efficiently transport a wide array of loads, featuring three distinct deck options: flat (MFLD), drop side rail (MDSR), and beam (MBMD).
“The Magnitude 65 truly embodies versatility in heavy-haul lowbeds," said Heather Gilmer, Fontaine’s vice president of sales. "It accommodates loads of up to 65 tons in 16 feet as a 3+2 or can be configured with five close coupled axles to transport up to 70 tons in 12 feet.”
Gilmer added that the trailer features a hydraulic detachable gooseneck and a tridem bogie, each of which offer seven ride height positions. “This heightened flexibility proves indispensable for operators navigating heavy loads across obstacles or beneath bridges," she said.
Manufactured using 100,000-pound minimum yield steel main beam flanges, the Fontaine Magnitude 65 is designed to provide years of strong, dependable service, the company said.
