Shop Clyde Machines Model 15F4885 LD8 Covered Caster Dolly (Double Ackerman) - 15F4885

The Clyde Machines Model 15F4885 Container Trailer (15F4885) is a 7,000 lb capacity ULD container trailer built to transport (2) LD2 containers, (1) LD3 container, or (1) LD8 pallet in busy cargo and baggage environments, using a four wheel steering configuration for tighter turning and better maneuverability in congested ramp lanes. It is designed for day-to-day aviation ground handling where crews need dependable container staging and towing between aircraft positions, cargo docks, and sort areas. Outside of aviation, this same heavy-capacity trailer format also fits logistics yards and industrial facilities that use tugs to move standardized containers and palletized loads through high tempo workflows.

The 15F4885 is designed so containers rotate without complicated mechanisms, helping reduce maintenance while keeping ULD handling fast and consistent. Impact-protected steering and roller components plus a recessed frame help protect the trailer and customer markings during high cycle towing, while a towbar-activated parking brake supports safer staging during loading, unloading, and queueing.
