Fontaine Specialized has enhanced its Hydraulic Equalizing Spreaders for Magnitude Series lowbeds, including the EQ1, EQ2, and EQ3. The redesigned models now feature improved geometry, enabling them to raise the rear axles off the ground for more convenient maneuvering while boasting up to 25,000 pounds capacity per axle.
The EQ1 single axle spreader employs an optional rear flip axle with the ability to transfer up to 25,000 pounds. The EQ2, a tandem axle configuration, incorporates both an optional intermediate and rear flip axle, providing the ability to transfer up to 50,000 pounds.

For maximum load capacity, the EQ3 tridem axle spreader now features an integrated first axle plus optional intermediate and rear flip axle, enabling it to transfer up to 75,000 pounds.
"Our Magnitude Series is a truly versatile line of heavy-haul lowbed trailers, with ratings ranging from 55 to 80 tons," said Heather Gilmer, VP sales, in a statement. "In addition to the enhanced hydraulic equalizing spreaders, Magnitude trailers feature a dual cam pawl gooseneck and a robust tridem bogie offering seven ride-height positions at front and rear. This heightened flexibility is invaluable for operators who need to move loads over obstacles or under bridges."
