Fontaine launches new Workhorse model: the 55PVR Pro

17 Aug 2022 CW Team

Fontaine Specialized has launched a new model in its Workhorse lowbed trailer lineup for roadbuilding contractors: the 55PVR Pro. Like the original Fontaine Workhorse 55PVR, the Pro model is a multi-purpose trailer designed specifically with roadbuilders in mind.

鈥淚t can handle 55 tons in 16 feet or 50 tons in 12 feet with three or four axles close coupled; so, it can haul a wide variety of concentrated loads,鈥� said Heather Gilmer, vice president sales. It is also good for those who prefer larger 275 size tires but still need 53 feet in overall length to haul milling machines, pavers, rollers or excavators.

The 55-ton capacity Workhorse 55PVR Pro features the same low-front 9-degree front ramp at the deck as the original and 17-degree deck-to-bogie transition ramp for loading and unloading paving equipment.

In addition, the PRO has an easily removable two-piece centre bogie section to accommodate excavators. The trailer is designed with connections to accept 51/60 rear axle.

The 55PVR Pro also comes standard with a longer gooseneck, 275 tires and 108"/82" dual kingpin for more overall length flexibility.

Also, both the Workhorse 55PVR and 55PVR Pro models are equipped with the Fontaine hydraulic removable 鈥渉ook and shaft鈥� gooseneck that can connect to or disconnect from the deck on uneven ground. A variety of options and accessories are also available.
