Haul grain or other agricultural produce by road and there is every chance you will be doing so with a triaxle tipping trailer with a plank-sided alloy bulk body. "It will give you a capacity of from 65 to 71 cubic yards, and when you're not on grain work you can use it to move other products such as sand or salt," says Weightlifter Bodies managing director, Nigel Butler. "We've built plank-sides at up to 80 cubic yards," says Chris Bartlett, sales and engineering director at Wilcox Commercial Vehicles. It forms part of the TVS Interfleet group, which also includes McPhee Mixers, Priden Engineering and SB Components. Transporting aggregates in a trailer of this size, however, is problematic because the load will weigh out before it bulks out. The body will be grossly overloaded if you fill it to the brim. |
