Features
The ‘Contractor’ range of trailers is designed ‘super’ heavy duty (based on what manufacturers call heavy duty), shifting 20 tonnes of material every 15 minutes, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. The CT range all have fast tipping bodies, via the multi-staged rams that give 60˚ tip with minimum (30 litres) oil usage.
The full RHS chassis with single beam drawbar member gives high strength and maximum turning circle. All of these trailers are sold with heavy duty walking beam tandem axle, oscillating on a continuous 75mm high tensile pin with 11 easy grease-able bushes centrally lubricated as standard.
With 2 choices of body: 1) mono lift one-piece sides are for customers that require the flexibility of being able to reduce the trailer to a flatbed for those ‘other’ jobs, 2) fully welded monocoque (bath tube) for continuous bulk haulage work. Fixed headboards with extension rails are standard.
Tailgates are removable on both body types, whether a full hydraulic up-and-over door is fitted, a standard top-hinged door, or the double-swing type door.
The grain bins or silage kit options are available for customers wishing to use the trailer for the harvest periods, hauling chopped silage from the paddock to the clamp. Available as a one-piece lift-off kit or individual bolt-together panels. It is fitted with a mesh window at the front that folds (optionally) down, and full rear doors with one third mesh centrally positioned for ease of empty reversing.
Wheel options are either 445/65 x 22.5 or (1180mmØ) ideal as the industrial option giving high speed, high load puncture resistance and flotation with a decent footprint, or most common is the 560/60R x 22.5 – giving both flotation and lower pressure, the steel radial prevents punctures with a good rolling circumference and ground clearance but with a taller deck height.
