The 48 x 228 underslung trailer, part number Z52-012-036, is designed for transporting long aerospace components where low deck height is required. Constructed from steel, the trailer supports loads up to 2500 lb and features an underslung configuration that provides a deck height of approximately 6 inches. This low profile design supports stable handling of large components such as aft fairings. The trailer includes a loop tongue for towing, solid pneumatic tires for consistent movement, and integrated tie down rings to secure loads during transport.

Key Features of the Underslung Trailer

Intended Use of the Industrial Underslung Trailer

Designed for transporting fairings and other long aerospace components that require low clearance handling. The underslung configuration allows components to remain closer to floor level during transport, supporting safer loading and precise positioning within assembly environments.

Industry Applications for Underslung Trailers in Aerospace Manufacturing

This underslung trailer is used in aerospace manufacturing environments, including aircraft assembly operations for programs such as the 787 Dreamliner. It supports the movement of long, low clearance components between staging, assembly, and work areas. The low deck height helps reduce lift requirements during loading and unloading, making it suitable for controlled handling of large aircraft structures.
