Gooseneck Trailer Mounted Package

Example of equipment package mounted on a goose neck trailer platform

Using a trailer as an equipment platform frees up the towing vehicle for other purposes when the equipment package is not in use. Most equipment packages are assembled on a trailer platform consisting of a heavy duty 8' wide x 18' long checker plate steel deck over trailer. Both goose neck and tag along trailer configurations are available. Goose neck trailers offer the advantage of tighter turning/backing radius, better load distribution between the trailer and the truck and less sway. Trailer modules supplied by Madewell are typically outfitted with the following features:

Two 7,000 pound axles
Electric brakes, both axles
Load range G tires and steel wheels
Heavy duty I beam construction
Twin 10,000 lb. jacks
Trailer GVW of 14,000 to 15,000 pounds plus+
Tag along (pintle hitch) or goose neck available
Manufactured in accordance with NATM standards

Tag Along Trailer Mounted Package

Example of an equipment package mounted on a tag-along trailer with a pintle hitch. These units are typically supplied with a work vise and water cooler on the trailer tongue.

Tag along trailers do not take up space on the bed of the truck and the tongue area offers some usable space. This trailer package includes the following equipment:

Atlas Copco 185 cfm diesel powered air compressor/power unit
Hydraulically powered mortar mixer/pump
330 gallon water storage tank
Steel pallet rack for a single pallet of mortar (with space for hose storage beneath)
Hydraulically powered pressure washer
Hydraulically powered 10kW generator
Pneumatically powered mechanical proportioner coating spray unit
