Rampant 40 ton

well i just bought one so we shall see!!

 

Used? Decent price?

 

a little used yes, a 2020. paid basically $53k plus shipping plus some modifications I requested

 

yes its a hydro. we do alot of local work and hydros are faster to break multiple times per day
hydros dont seem popular in the commercial trailers, there arent that many to choose from
its a 48' 40 Ton plus flip 29' well

I am about 350% convinced its a rebranded kaufman, i literally cannot find any difference

heres the specs and available options
Rampant Double Drop Hydraulic Detachable Gooseneck | Rampant Trailers LLC

the options on this one are
-18" deck height,
-pony motor,
-boom trough,
-strobes,
-outer aluminums
-2 toolboxes
-ride height control valve
-apitong
-expanded metal in bays

 

and outriggers obviously

 

Let's see it loaded.

 

ok but i am a "light load member" you see

 

Kaufman and rampant are made only a few miles apart. That's awful cheap for a 40 ton hydraulic. Pony motor? I'd be afraid to break it, whatever I buy I'm gonna use to maximum allowable for my axles.

Hydraulic necks aren't popular in 35/40 ton trailers, it adds weight and cost and most guys wanna be into RGN work cheap and light. I wouldn't buy anything but a hydraulic.

 

yea it has a honda pony motor
agreed its a compromise, a little heavier (although this trailer is only 18,000 plus the flip) vs ease of operation
i can legal 70k on the deck i think we will see

 

Doesn't seem bad for a weight. I just think the extra weight of the hydraulics are worth having versus the wear and tear picking up a poor man's RGN.
