Ultra Light Trailer

The Aquarius Ultra Light Trailer  (ULT) can be towed by the R2R 4×4 Rail Ranger and Rail Mule. With a gross weight of 1 tonne, the ULT is capable of carrying a 933 kg on track.  The ‘ultra’ light design means the trailer weighs just 67 kg resulting in an easy 3 man lift,  addressing manual handling issues and eliminates the need for additional machinery to lift the trailer on track.

The features of the Ultra Light Trailer:

• Transport up to 933 kg of tools or ‘spoil’  to and from the work site
• Integral lip on load tray to keep loads on
• Internal measurements of the load tray: 1310 mm wide x 1484 mm long
• Air brakes as mandated by RIS-1530-PLT
• Fail-safe spring applied brakes
• Lights and breakaway alarm
• 20 mph maximum travel and working speed
• 5 mph through switches and crossings
• 1 mph through raised check/guard rails
• The Aquarius Rail Mule is certified to tow 3 ULTs on track

The benefits of the Ultra Light Trailer (ULT):

• Overcome access issues: Deliver tools and equipment by rail to work sites with difficult access.
• Reduce logistics: No need for HIAB crane site delivery lorries.  The ULT is a 3 man lift on to track.
• Increased payload: Gain an additional 933kg of payload per ULT.
