Shop Clyde Machines Model 15F4990 LD 1,2,3 Roller Bed (Single Ackerman) - 15F4990

The Clyde Machines Model 15F4990 Container Trailer (15F4990) is a 3,500 lb capacity ULD container trailer designed to transport LD1, LD2, and LD3 containers in aviation cargo and baggage operations, using a two wheel steering configuration that tracks predictably in tow trains and straight-line moves. It is built for day-to-day ramp use where crews need dependable container staging and towing between aircraft positions, cargo docks, and sort areas. Outside of aviation, this same trailer format is also a strong fit for logistics yards and industrial facilities that use tugs to move standardized containers through high throughput routes.

The 15F4990 is designed for efficient ULD handling with a simple, durable trailer layout that supports repeated loading cycles and frequent towing. A towbar-activated parking brake helps keep the trailer controlled during loading and staging, while the diamond plate walkway and end guides support safer handling and consistent container positioning.
