Incredible Capacity and Deck Wells
Brandt's Heavy Haul line of trailers stand out in the market with options from 35 to 85 tons, making it easy to get exactly what you need for your next job. As the most popular model in the line, the C550 is built with a 26-foot 10-inch deck well to offer industry-leading space and an 18" deck height to help keep loading fast and easy. This design also improves overall stability with a lower center of gravity and improves accessibility in limited access areas. Additionally, the C550 offers the deepest rear boom trough available today, with a standard eight-foot knuckle trough and rear boom trough, reducing overall height when transporting excavators or similar boomed equipment, minimizing the need for over-height permits.
QT100 Structural Steel
A significant factor behind the C550’s durability is its use of QT100 structural steel; ideal for its high tensile strength and overall toughness. Used throughout the trailer, it greatly contributes to a much longer overall useful life, while limiting downtime due to wear from challenging road conditions. Although QT100 steel adds to the overall purchase price, the resulting reduction in maintenance and additional service years; including a higher resale value, makes it a compelling option for regular operations.
Sealed Wiring Harness for Low Maintenance
To boost reliability and reduce maintenance on the most common reasons for trailer failures, the C550 comes with a fully sealed wiring harness. This protects from moisture, dust, rocks, and friction at mounting points, greatly reducing downtime and helping to guarantee DOT compliance from the first mile to the last.
Durable Adhesive Gel Powder Coat
After designing the full heavy haul line with QT100 steel, the Brandt engineering team selected a high-quality adhesive gel powder coat finish that's built to handle wear across the extended life of the trailer. It's unique adhesive base helps to prevent chipping from direct rock strikes, while the gel composition and powder coat treatment minimize corrosion. So whether you're handling road salts, long winters, or debris-filled areas, you're covered by the best finish in the industry.
14 hp Hydraulic Power Pack
The C550's Hydraulic RGN features a reliable 14-horsepower EFI power pack, making detachment and reattachment far easier on frequent stops. Fully enclosed in a high strength front cabinet to protect from UV and physical damage, it powers the proprietary Brandt latching system. This system allows the gooseneck to easily line up and securely latch when on uneven terrain, saving you time and hassle in unimproved environments.
Enhanced Safety and Convenience
The C550 excels in safety; beyond its advanced braking system, the trailer features chain securement pockets, d-rings, and chain cutouts throughout, designed with oversized loads in mind. It's five ground clearance settings in 1.5" increments (adjustable from 5” to 8”), are ideal for setting up for bridges, railway crossings, or crowded roads. Meanwhile, high-visibility lights and premium tires from the factory have the basics covered, allowing you to focus on the job at hand.

The Brandt C550’s versatility makes it a valuable asset across multiple industries. It's ability to handle various types of loads— from large machinery and industrial components to modular buildings makes it suitable for diverse applications.
