Talbert
5553TA
A 53 ft traveling-axle trailer with a 41 ft 6 in nominal lower deck and three axles in the linked TA brochure. Distributed and concentrated ratings are separate; the conflicting upper-deck length remains unresolved.

Know the space. Know the limits.

Overall length is not usable deck length. A published side-rail width does not establish the unobstructed support width. Values above come from documentation, never from measuring the artwork.
Capacity with its conditions
Structural ratings do not approve axle loads, the tractor connection, route clearance or a permit.
What to verify
- Axle count and loaded deck height use the manufacturer-linked TA brochure (PUB 230C, 0220); verify the actual trailer build before relying on them.
- Source conflict: current product page states upper deck 11 ft 8 in; linked TA brochure states 11 ft 6 in. Upper deck length is withheld pending build-specific confirmation.
- Obtain the actual build sheet and configuration-specific load chart.
- Published options and family ranges do not establish an individual trailer’s equipment.
- Loading method
- Sliding axle / tilting deck
- Axle arrangement
- 3 traveling axles in TA Series brochure reference; confirm actual build
