Flat Trailers
Flat trailers
We routinely haul thousands of tonnes of construction materials every year on these sturdy and versatile platform trailers: pipe-sticks, TVCB, timber elements, structural steel and storage / accommodation units.
Flat trailers with heavy duty headboards with regulation fall arrest / boxing ring attachments as per health and safety best-practice.
Their heavy duty headboards help eliminate the risk of damage to drivers, vehicles and other road users in the unlikely event of a collision or load collapse.
Having tractor units or artic-HIAB / artic-LLC units with self load and offload functions to pull them adds to their value.
