42' Plantation Log Trailer

This 42‑foot plantation log semi trailer is a mature mainstream model specially engineered for harvested plantation timber transportation. The drop‑center frame structure allows operators to carry logs of varied lengths including oversized timber and maximize cargo volume utilization. The curb weight is approximately 10,600 lb while the gross vehicle weight rating reaches 80,000 lb. Main beams and crossmembers are fabricated from high‑tensile steel; 5/16 in thick pick‑up plate, four weld‑on bolsters and one dummy bolster made of heavy‑gauge steel form a rigid cargo limiting system to prevent log shifting in bumpy road conditions.
