Versatility Across Two Deck Levels

The 3.9m top deck provides additional usable loading space, with air-operated pop-up ramps allowing machinery to be driven between the main and upper decks. This makes the trailer particularly versatile when transporting multiple machines or additional attachments.

An extensive load restraint system includes six certified tie-bar lashings per side on the top deck and 14 per side on the main deck, along with chain lugs, ferry hooks, rope rails and ship-lock pockets for a loaded 20ft container.

The trailer also features two 900mm toolboxes and four dedicated chain bins, keeping chains and other load restraint equipment stored securely and within easy reach.

Ready for Oversize Loads

Sliding front and rear chevrons, folding oversize signs, reversible hazard panels, LED beacons and rear strobes are integrated into the build for over-dimensional machinery transport.
