Trailer Designed For Heavy Protein Tubs

Trailer Designed For Heavy Protein Tubs WAGONS/TRAILERS Miscellaneous Lester Evans says he came up with the idea for a trailer to haul heavy protein tubs after a delivery driver told him “there has to be a better way to handle those dadgum tubs ” Evans built a prototype last year field tested it and now has it on the market “We put a lot of thought into the trailer because there are many different size tubs out there and we wanted a trailer that could handle all of them ” Evans says His 2-wheel trailer has a 3 500-lb torsion axle riding on ST225/75D15 tires It has a 2-in ball couple and a front drop-leg jack The closed bed trailer has a steel “easy slide” bed with a center divider so the tubs ride in a channel Rear chutes for each channel lower for delivery and raise for driving Metal covers the trailer compartment to keep protein tubs dry in rainy conditions “A delivery driver doesn’t have to leave the truck seat to unload tubs because we built in an electric hoist and remote control tub release system that only lets one tub out at a time ” Evans says “The driver works the controls from the seat just like a garage door opener ” The trailer can also be towed by a small tractor or ATV Evans has three different models available sized for 8 12 and 18 tubs Prices range from $5 985 to $8 450 “Just about anyone who’s handled full protein tubs knows it’s a back-aching job this rig puts an end to that problem ” Evans says “The trailer is easily loaded with a fork lift and unloading doesn’t require any lifting ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Tub Hand ph 254 223-0490; www tubhand com
