Tandem dolly trailers are reliable transport solutions for vehicles and machinery. Easily attachable to trucks or even prime movers, dolly trailers have a high weight capacity and increased load stability. Northfleet’s tandem dolly trailers are fully mine spec and available for long and short term hire at a number of locations around WA.
What is a tandem dolly trailer?
A tandem dolly trailer is an unpowered vehicle attached to a truck. It’s mainly used to transport vehicles, but also has the capacity to carry goods. Its versatility and large towing capacity make it ideal for mine site operations. Compared to a flatbed trailer, tandem dollies are smaller and require less grips and hooks to attach vehicles.
Tandem dolly trailers work by evenly distributing weight between the trailer and cargo. Drawbars at each end of the dolly connect with chains to give tow cars better traction while pulling dollies. This system allows dolly trailers to carry around two tonnes in some cases. However, because it’s so compact, it thrives best with smaller loads.
What are the advantages of tandem dolly trailers?
Tandem dolly trailers come with a variety of advantages like reliability, versatility, and high-speed capacity. Tandem dollies have two sets of axles, allowing stability at high speeds, and also providing extra weight bearing abilities. Their versatility means dollies are suitable for a number of loads and applications. They can turn trucks into longer combination vehicles, or allow them to pull semi-trailers without a fifth wheel.
What is a tandem trailer dolly used for?
