Shop Clyde Machines Model 15F4896 LD8 Roller Bed Dolly (Double Ackerman) - 15F4896

The Clyde Machines Model 15F4896 Container Trailer (15F4896) is a 7,000 lb capacity ULD container trailer designed for higher-capacity cargo and baggage handling, built to transport (2) LD1 containers, (2) LD2 containers, (2) LD3 containers, or a single larger ULD including (1) LD4, (1) LD8, or (1) LD11. With a four wheel steering configuration, it improves maneuverability and turning performance in congested ramp lanes and tight cargo apron layouts while still supporting tow-train operations. Outside of aviation, it is also a strong fit for logistics yards and industrial facilities that use tugs to move standardized containers and palletized loads through high tempo routes.

The 15F4896 is built for repeatable ULD handling with features aimed at safer loading, more controlled towing, and long service life. Grip strut walkways provide secure footing during container positioning, and spring-loaded vertical restraints with end guides help keep ULDs aligned and retained during transport. A towbar-activated parking brake supports safer staging during loading, unloading, and queueing.
