The Reitnouer B-Train Trailer is a highly specialized type of flatbed trailer configuration that is particularly prevalent in North America. This innovative design includes two separate trailers connected by a fifth wheel coupling mechanism, which serves as a pivotal component that enables users to securely attach and detach the trailers.
One of the primary advantages of the B-Trains configuration is its ability to transport larger and heavier loads compared to traditional single-trailer setups. The dual-trailer design spreads the weight of the cargo over a larger area. This improves stability during transit.
It is especially important when driving on different terrains and road conditions. This design reduces the risk of swaying or tipping. It helps ensure a safer journey for the driver and other road users.
B-Trains Trailers are widely used in industries requiring high-capacity freight transport. From moving construction materials to large machinery, these trailers provide flexibility and efficiency. The unique dual-trailer configuration offers the advantage of increased payload while maintaining the legal limits on roadways.
B-Trains have an extra pivot point between the two trailers. This feature gives them better maneuverability than other double trailer setups. Because of this, they work well for both highway and city driving.
