New trailer for abnormal loads joins WMB fleet 22 July 2011

Specialist carrier WMB Heavy Haulage has added a specialist trailer to its fleet for the transportation of abnormal loads – from wind turbines and industrial boilers to boats, planes and military vehicles.

Designed and built by Goldhofer and supplied through its UK distributor Andover Trailers, the new four-axle semi low-loader incorporates what the firm describes as "innovative features" that facilitate the safe transportation of large, heavy or valuable loads.

These include a remote-control steering system that can be operated from the cab, removable power-toe ramps for long loads and a built-in floodlighting system for easier loading and off-road driving.

WMB's transport manager Jon Smail says the new trailer, which joins a fleet of six, will improve the Dumfries-based company's ranking against competitors.

"The technical excellence behind this trailer's design gives us a distinct advantage over other specialist hauliers," states Smail.

"There are very few fleets operating a trailer of this calibre in south west Scotland," he adds.

The trailer is WMB's fourth purchase from Goldhofer, which provides sophisticated transport solutions for equipment, ranging from 80 to 10,000 tonnes.

Andover Trailers, which sells Goldhofer equipment, assisted with the specification and supply of all four.
