Specialising in the transport of straw bales, crops and timber products, the Durham-based operator needed a drawbar trailer that could be easily adapted to transport a range of goods on flat wagon and drag combinations.
The solution was SDC’s three-axle drawbar trailer with BPW 9-tonne eco-plus axles, Haldex braking system, 28mm Keruing floor and 12 bespoke posts and sockets. The 7.6m chassis has an overall length of 9.3m – ideal for MJ Close & Son’s specialist loads.
“We are delighted with the drawbar trailer received from SDC. The quality of finish is superb and we were able to customise the specification to maximise our haulage operations,” says Bryan Close, director.
“It was very important to us that we could add additional storage and load security features, to ensure the best possible service for our customers. I am confident that we have achieved the best working solution for our operations and we aim to replace our entire fleet with SDC Trailers in the coming years.”
A second trailer has already been ordered and is due for delivery in February 2019.
