4000AE - Utility Trailer

Standard Features

Light weight, high strength, low maintenance

The 4000AE delivers the strength and durability of an all-steel trailer and the low weight benefit of an all-aluminum trailer.

3" and 4" aluminum crossmembers

Our patented crossmembers system is featured on the 4000AE. A combination of 3" and 4" aluminum crossmembers replace steel to optimize weight without compromising strength or functionality.

47,000 lb standard coil haul package

Designed with 3" aluminum crossbars, that include nine 4" full-width, tapered aluminum crossbars on 8" centerlines to provide optimized strength at the coil.

Heavy-duty pipe spools

The aluminum side rail has an integral winch track and heavy-duty pipe spools. The pipe spools are engineered to a 6,500 lb working load limit rating.

Hat-shaped top flange

Attached to the extruded aluminum floor, the 80,000 psi high strength steel hat-shaped top flange provides additional lateral stability to the trailer.

Integral winch track

The integral winch track is extruded into the aluminum side rails. It features a 5,000 lb working load limit rating.

Heavy-duty aluminum outrigger attachments

Three tube-shaped outriggers located on each side of the flatbed are connected to the aluminum crossmembers, providing stability and helping distribute the load to the main beams.

High-quality paint process

The main beams are shot blasted to bare metal prior to painting and then coated with a two-part primer and two-part urethane top coat on the exterior surfaces. A rust preventative coating is applied to the interior surfaces of the beams for lower maintenance cost.

Plasma-cut one-piece main beam

Camber-shaped for strength and durability, our one-piece main beams are plasma cut with absolute precision. They have less camber than more flexible all-aluminum beams and typically maintain more of their original shape when loaded. This means less load shifting and “back-slapping” as the trailer flexes up and down.

Double tapered beam at rear for proper axle loading

This design optimizes load distribution between the axles and extends suspension life.

Hendrickson<sup>®</sup> INTRAAX<sup>®</sup> AANT 23K 121" spread air ride suspension

Hendrickson^® INTRAAX^® AANT 23K 121" spread air ride suspension

Tapered beam and large-diameter axles reduce weight, minimize fatigue cracking, extend service life and minimize maintenance costs.

100% soldered main harness

The sealed main harness features 100% soldered internal connectors to prevent corrosive de-icing chemicals from traveling through connections into the wiring.

Aluminum floor with hardwood nailing strips

Two hardwood nailing strips are integrated into the strong aluminum deck for greater cargo securement versatility.

Aluminum front rail

Designed to lower tare weight on the 4000AE, this high-strength aluminum front rail provides added protection, improves durability and reduces maintenance expenses.

ConMet Preset Plus<sup>®</sup> premium wheel end system

ConMet Preset Plus^® premium wheel end system

ConMet Preset Plus includes aluminum hub, seals, bearings, spacer and spindle nut. This premium system also comes with an 8-year warranty.

Front stainless steel corners

Stainless steel corners and top plates protect against impact damage and provide additional strength and durability, reducing cost of ownership.

Microencapsulated adhesive on all screws

Seals and locks threaded fasteners, creating better and stronger connections. Sealed threads are vibration-proof, protected against corrosion, and are resistant to fuel, oil and grease, reducing maintenance costs.

Utility I.C.C. bumper

Meets D.O.T. and Transport Canada safety requirements. The 7" deep horizontal bumper provides superior strength and protection.

Accuride™ Trident® light weight brake drum

Light weight design features a composite steel shell and centrifuge cast braking surface to minimize costs and increase payload.

Available Options

Multiple coil haul packages

Coil packages from 50,000 lb to 57,000 lb are available to match your specific requirements.

Tri-axle suspension systems

Tri-axle suspension options with 49", 60" and 72" spread axles provide higher payload capacity.

Adjustable load securement system (ALSS)

Aluminum side rails feature the integral ALSS tie-down track and sliding winch track. Movable J-hook tie-down plates provide on-the-deck load securement and can be stored on an optional formed channel attached to the main beam.

Factory-installed D.O.T. and non-D.O.T. rated bulkheads

Choose from our D.O.T. rated all-aluminum or steel bulkheads. Non-D.O.T. rated bulkheads are available in weld-on or bolt-on designs.

Factory-installed Conestoga<sup>®</sup> XP<sup>™</sup>

Factory-installed Conestoga^® XP^™

Simple to operate, Conestoga XP offered by Utility is a sliding tarp system that protects loads from the elements without costly and time-consuming tarping.

Custom color paints

A variety of paint colors for your flatbed are available.

Tool boxes

Most manufacturers and styles are available and will be factory-installed.

Sliding winches

Integrated into the extruded aluminum side rails on both sides of the flatbed, sliding winches are designed to increase load securement versatility.

Tire inflation systems

Choose one of our recommended systems to maintain optimum tire pressure in order to increase fuel economy, improve safety and maximize tire life.

Extra lights for increased visibility

Increase visibility and improve safety by putting lights exactly where you want them.

Additional nailing strip

A third nailing strip is available for increased cargo securement versatility.

Tautliner curtainside

The versatile Tautliner® curtainside trailer incorporates our innovative combo flatbed technology, giving it one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios in the industry. Customizable to meet your unique applications, the Tautliner provides three-way simultaneous access for improved efficiency.
