Transdek UK is launching its latest double-deck trailer – designed for urban deliveries – at the forthcoming Commercial Vehicle Show.
The Double Deck Urban Eco Trailer (DUET) is designed to carry high load volumes in the urban environment, with twice the load capacity of a typical 18-tonne rigid, and cost and emissions savings for city-centre retail deliveries.
The trailer's rear door closure gives the lowest possible height profile, while providing safe kerbside offloading. The DUET also has a significantly smaller turning circle than a rigid truck, helping manoeuvrability in congested streets.
The new trailer is 10.6m long and can be specified with a height between 4m and 4.3m. It is compatible with low-profile double deck lifts and, says Transdek, it takes just 45 minutes to fully load.
Transdek will also introduce a specially designed two-tier column lift to service product to ground level at stores. The tail-lift will incorporate a hinged automatic safety rail for operator and product protection on the raised lift platform.
