LM100 Tag Axle Option


In the late 1980's Loadmaster began to offer a tag axle option on new 100 series as well as retrofit kits for older models. The 100's narrow hopper (in relation to the body) and long overhang were ideally suited to this option which required very little hopper modification. By placing the tag axle behind the live axle, much more weight can be shifted forward than with conventional installations. Packer is a 1988 LM120HC MEGA on a Ford "Louisville" chassis. Also note Loadmaster container hoist for 1-3 yard cans.
