Long Beach, California has added a Hackney TU1682 Special Operation Trailer to there fleet. The 40-ft trailer is pulled by a Spartan Gladiator LFD custom cab tractor.

A fold-down ramp provides simple loading and unloading of a Stanley hydraulic tool and accessory cart, negating the need to lift this heavy piece of equipment. Multiple slide-out tool boards, slide trays and shelving round out the planned storage capabilities for fast, simple equipment access. Located on the roof of the trailer are four 16-ft storage compartments accessed by a OSHA approved ladder on the front of the trailer. 17.5-ft awnings are installed on the left and right side of the trailer providing staging and operations sheltering. The flood lights are powered by a self-contained 20-kw diesel generator supplied by a 50-gallon fuel tank beneath the fifth wheel. Multiple cord reels and outlets are strategically placed around the trailer. A 375-cfm PTO driven rotary screw compressor is mounted on the tractor with 2" air discharge outlets on the left and right side. The compressor has ample reserve capacity to operate two jack hammers and an air knife simultaneously, plus any other auxiliary utility air requirements.
