ARDCO Introduces Pipe Trailer for Its Articulating Multi-Purpose Truck

ARDCO introduces a new AMT Pipe Trailer attachment for the Articulating Multi-Purpose Truck (AMT). Designed for safe and efficient handling of pipe, the AMT Pipe Trailer offers adjustable lengths and exceptional load capacity, making it ideal for off-road transport in pipeline or utility construction applications.

Built specifically for the ARDCO AMT 600, the pipe trailer easily attaches to the truck using a supplied hitch mount with conventional fifth wheel connection. The trailer features a flexible-load rear frame with 45° swivel capabilities, trailer axles with available braking system, and various tire options.

To protect against damage to pipes or other products, the load surface is constructed of oak timbers and the side pole surface is Teflon-coated. The trailer offers a load capacity of 22,680 kg. Trailer length can be adjusted from a maximum of 10.88 m to a minimum of 6.75 m.

The pipe trailer is one of many ARDCO attachments compatible with the modular back-end platform of the AMT 600. The AMT 600 is powered by a 250 hp Cummins QSB6.7 Tier 4 final (T4f) diesel engine, features selectable 4- or 6-wheel-drive, and has a top travel speed of 40 km/h. The AMT 600 includes a Dana 6-speed powershift transmission with twist grip shifter and AxleTech rigid planetary axles with driver-controlled differential lock.

Specifically built for off-road travel, the AMT 600 includes a high-strength center pivot trunnion with approximately 20° of oscillation, which allows all the tires to maintain ground contact and traction while travelling over rough terrain. Dual hydraulic cylinders provide 37° of steering each way, and articulating motion allows the tires to slide left or right in wet/muddy terrain to gain traction.

Optional accessories include a hydraulically-operated front push blade, front-mounted hydraulic winch, heavy-duty front bumper/brush guard, and auxiliary hydraulics. The AMT 600 is covered by a limited one-year warranty.
