Galbreath M6-250 roll-off trailerThe lightweight M6-250 roll-off trailer has been introduced by Galbreath, a Wastequip brand. Said to weigh 15,650 lb, it’s designed to handle heavy loads like scrap and construction materials, with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 72,500 lb. Its shorter overall length means greater maneuverability, the maker says. It has a container size capacity up to 30 ft, which is longer than the M6-200 introduced in 2013.

The M6-250 is available in outside rail (OR), extendable tail (EX), inside/outside rail (IO), and deadlift (HH) configurations. It features two telescoping lift cylinders that are said to provide greater stability when lifting heavy loads. Its lower height accommodates taller containers than standard trailers, says Galbreath.

Other features include:

The ‘plug n’ Play’ wiring system eliminates crossed wires, loose connections, corrosion, and splices.

The automatic front container spring-loaded locking system and rear container hold-downs help keep container in place.

The hoist-up alarm is a standard safety feature — when hoist is engaged, an alarm will sound to alert for hoist movement.

There are dual safety props to add extra security when the hoist is in the up position.

Seven rollers per side help guide the container as it’s loaded or unloaded on hoist. Each roller is equipped with a bearing and grease fitting for easy rolling and maintenance.

Two cylinders are mounted on the outside of the rails to provide added stability when loading/unloading heavy containers.

Available options for the M6-250 trailer include tarping systems, aluminum wheels, outboard-supported rollers, auto grease system, auto air inflation system, air ride suspension, tire carriers, rear wing plates, toolboxes, and more.
