Wagon and Drag
Rigid + drag trailers (wagon and drag)
Wagon and drag outfits offer great flexibility and some big payloads, with the ability to remove the truck from the trailer to get better access or for split cargoes. For shifting sites involving 20ft ISO units in addition to plant components, they are unbeatable.
With payloads of up to 26.5 tonnes in combination, they come in a variety of different guises, including flat/platform bodies with twist-locks and beavertail ramps for safe loading and unloading of wheeled and tracked plant.
When hooked up to one of our HIAB-rigid they have the ability to load and carry 2 x freighted 20 foot shipping containers and stack them on site, deliver welfare units and store units at the same time and lift and position a heavy concrete agitator and associated piling tackle, making them one of our most sought after services.
