XL Specialized Trailers announced the launch of a brand-new trailer model, the XL Knight 80 MFG. The Knight has an updated and improved mechanical, full-width gooseneck trailer design.

The 48-ft.-long detachable gooseneck lowboy has an overall capacity of 80,000 lbs. and a concentrated capacity of 70,000 lbs. in 16 ft. The trailer offers 29 ft. of main deck loading space and a loaded deck height of 18 in. for versatile hauling.

The XL Knight 80 MFG offers many new standard features and encompasses the most popular specs and options possible into a competitive offering. The detachable gooseneck features front connection plates with three height settings for added adaptability over various terrains.

The front of the main deck can go up or down 1.5 in., for a total of a 3-in. variance. The raise and lower valve in the rear allows for an adjustment of 1.5 in. The Colas-plus raise and lower valve is especially customer-friendly with its large and durable handle.

The Knight trailer has improved aesthetics with an aluminum logo decal at the front and MicroNova clearance lights. A battery backup with a four-way plug enables the lights to stay on even when the trailer is disconnected from the truck.

The new trailer also features a convenient front storage area to stow chains or other materials. Swingout outriggers can be added to the main deck for hauling over-width loads. A 2 ft. by 2 ft. cutout in the rear transition provides additional space for equipment such as draw bars on tractors. The two-axle wheel area is prepped to accommodate a third axle if needed.

The Knight is our next product in a series of stock-style trailers, allowing the manufacturer to ramp up production of popular models to meet market demand. The XL Guardian 110 HDG was the first product in this program, released early in 2023.

Knights and Guardians are both now available on XL dealer lots.

New Website

In addition to its new Knight trailer, XL Specialized Trailers also recently launched its updated website.

Designed with the customer experience as a top priority, the site offers simpler navigation and a sleek aesthetic.
