| 摘要： | Huddersfield's Mac's Trucks has been in the commercial vehicle engineering game for over 40 years, and has been stretching existing units for most of that time. "There are two reasons why we do it now," states operations director Craig Graham. "The first one is cost, as obviously there's a substantial saving in buying used over new, and the second is a lack of availability of chassis." There simply aren't many good-quality used rigids out there, especially not for the customer needing an eight-wheeler on which to mount a crane, for example.The finished product can go into any application, but is particularly popular in the construction sector for site movements of plant machinery. That means flatbeds, beavertails, and 'cheese wedges', where the ramps fold flat to increase available bed space. Curtainsiders for small manufacturers and distributors are another decent-sized market (examples of its work pictured bottom, p13 and on p14). |
