Specialized trailer manufacturer Fontaine Heavy-Haul, in the USA, has launched a 2-axle bogie and EQ2 hydraulic equalising spreader to its Magnitude 60 Class product line of low bed trailers.

The EQ2 spreader has a C-link mounting system and can be converted from a 4.3 metre to a 4.8 m axle spread in minutes, the manufacturer said. In addition, the EQ2 has an automatic hydraulic pressure dump for tight turning radius and dual independent levelling legs for easy pin connection on uneven terrain, the manufacturer explained.
