Description
The non-CDL haul truck built for compact equipment transport, rental fleets, and geotechnical drill rigs, the Ledwell FreedomTail Truck helps keep equipment moving while expanding your available driver pool. Designed around a 26,000 GVWR chassis and equipped with a proven hydraulic tail system, the FreedomTail delivers the capability needed for lighter equipment hauling without relying on a CDL driver.
Purpose-built for fleets that need flexibility, the FreedomTail features a 24-foot steel deck, a 10,000-pound capacity, and a hydraulic tail that unfolds to create a 14-foot loading approach with a 15.5-degree loading angle. It is an ideal solution for service equipment, compact construction equipment, and other machinery that benefits from a long, low approach for efficient loading and unloading.Â
Built with the same rugged design philosophy found throughout Ledwell’s equipment hauling products, the FreedomTail combines steel construction, aluminum features, hardwood flooring, and dependable hydraulic performance in a right-sized package designed for daily use. The result is a truck that gives fleets more drivers, more flexibility, and more freedom.
