Good first RGN

3 Axle Trail King is really my preference for a lowboy. Granted I'm not doing anything as heavy as some of the other guys on here, but it gets the job done for me.

I picked my 50 tonner up a few years ago for $32k. She could use a DuPont overhaul but is solid and does whatever I ask of it.

 

Ag lowboys and heavy equipment lowboys are different tools. Get the right one for what you are hauling.
I have an older Aspen, and I believe that they are as well built as as any.

 

We’ve got a 55 ton Talbert, it’s a nice trailer, although there are better neck designs out there. It’s plenty strong but the neck isn’t as user friendly as some others.

The best trailer I ever had was a 1998 Dynaweld. They are no longer in business but if I could find a good used one, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it.

 

When did dynaweld quit?? I was looking at a new one a couple years ago and it looked like a solid trailer albeit a copy of Fontaines neck.

 

We actually had a Dynaweld on order before we got the Talbert. It was 2001 and while the Dynaweld was on order, the owners of the company died in a plane crash. We waited a little while but they never did recover and we never got the trailer we ordered so we went with the Talbert.

Now there may have been somebody that reopened the company or using the Dynaweld name in recent times, but the original company shut down after the plane crash.

Yes, the neck is very similar to Fontain. The reason I liked the Dynaweld better is that on the Fontain, the “ears” stick up higher than deck of the trailer, where the Dynaweld “ears” are flush. When loading something with a narrow track, the ears sticking up can present a problem.

 

Thank you for that, I never knew the history of them.
