We have invested further in our covered trailers for abnormal loads. The latest heavy haulage trailer adds to our increasing diverse fleet of specialist trailers. Our fleet of covered trailers offer customers the opportunity to cover oversized cargo without the need for sheeting and reduce packing significantly.
Our latest trailer from Meusburger can carry loads up to 6.5m wide under cover (six and half meters wide). This is a covered, 6 axle step frame trailer and the six axles can support a cargo of up to 65,000kgs.
We have invested in an oversized covered fleet to carry heavy and wide cargo and still be able to offer protection from the elements. It is difficult and time consuming to sheet the largest cargo and sheets can damage the load. An alternative is to use shipping cases, which adds time, additional resources and therefore increased cost to the clients project. If the load is going by road to its destination, the better option could be to use a covered trailer.
These covered trailers are ideal for journeys throughout the UK and Europe when the abnormal cargo needs to be protected from the elements. They are Safer and quicker than sheeting and more Environmentally friendly and cost effective than packing cases.
Covered Trailer Options:
- Meusburger Trailer, for the widest and heaviest loads.
- Royen Trailer, for loads too wide for euro liners.
- Meierling Trailer, for heavy products products.
- Schmitz cargo-bull, Standard Euro liner for ancillary items.
